Forget dual processor STs, latest craze, dual power supply.
Increase in performance? 0% reduction in wallet weight.....

If it ain't broke, test it to Destruction.

Re: STE V1.5 32MHz BOOSTER - STATUS
A black hole generator from an Atari STE and other stuff from around the workshop. Impressive.
Collector of many retro things!
800XL and 65XE both with Ultimate1MB,VBXL/XE & PokeyMax, SIDE3, SDrive Max, 2x 1010 cassette, 2x 1050 one with Happy mod, 3x 2600 Jr, 7800 and Lynx II
Approx 20 STs, including a 520 STM, 520 STFMs, 3x Mega ST, MSTE & 2x 32 Mhz boosted STEs
Plus the rest, totalling around 50 machines including a QL, 3x BBC Model B, Electron, Spectrums, ZX81 etc...

Re: STE V1.5 32MHz BOOSTER - STATUS
Today's run time was 418mins 127 loops, about 7 hours.. so pretty much the same.exxos wrote: 11 Nov 2018 21:51 Total run time was actually 385mins 117 loops, about 6 hours 41mins..
I will dig out my SR98 (as it has a pot on the 5V circuit) so will put it to 5.2V.. and start it running again...

Re: STE V1.5 32MHz BOOSTER - STATUS
368 mins, 112 loops - about 6.12 hours...
Would have actually thought since it had warmed up for 6 hours already that it would have crashed after a hour or so.. so its hard to say if 5.2V has helped or not..overall, its still crashes after 6-7 hours. bizzare..
Anyway, will try and start getting some of these boards built up for sale next.. anyone can try "fast mode" and try their luck. Though by default, they will be sold in "slow mode".
EDIT:
Oddly, it locked up , normally it quits to desktop. So this could actually be the CPU overheating this time, as lockups tend to be the CPU not coping...I guess its possible if the ROM on its own ran on 5.2V it might be happy.. but the testing will never end at this rate...

Re: STE V1.5 32MHz BOOSTER - STATUS
I think what you've done is really good. Lots of time and effort on what is a very old CPU. And by the sounds you've found the maximum that we're going to achieve.
Maybe it's time to stop, sell and move on to the SEC and others, new challenge, new problems, dare I say it, new fun? :D

Re: STE V1.5 32MHz BOOSTER - STATUS
Yes.. This will be the last STE booster I do. I've got the V2.2 remake boards coming soon to hopefully get sorted.. Then back to the SEC booster as the only booster project.Forgottenmyname wrote: 13 Nov 2018 07:23 I think what you've done is really good. Lots of time and effort on what is a very old CPU.

And I have an STFM standing by to be the guinea pig once again if required. :D

Re: STE V1.5 32MHz BOOSTER - STATUS
This is the first one which will be heading to my store.. 36MHz WS ON. I will leave it on for a couple of hours then onto the next one for testing...
