Show us your racked and stacked H4 builds

Post by Icky »

We thought we would start a thread to show us pictures of your H4 builds and what you have installed on them and how you run them.

I am sure we are going to see some tower stacks and other setups. Would like to know the types of boards or add-ons you have tested or use.

So post some pictures and describe what you have going on and any other info you wish to part with.

I'll start it off with the H4 build I have been testing the SEC Booster, Flashy Clock and HDMI Shifter. This is my go to machine for testing anything out @exxos and I are developing.

Just for a bit of fun like.

Needs the firmware tweaking for Atari though
If it ain't broke, test it to Destruction.

@Icky yes it is. Its the one I couldn't get to boot. Fixed it and thought what the heck, see if the TF536 will boot from it.

Not so much racked and stacked, but first boot under its own steam having fixed the problems with the LS11.

Mine being used a RAM test machine currently.....and everyone hated the falcon RAM expansion port! :lol: :roll:

Now I think of it, I could plug this into my falcon to test chips quicker. hmm...well nope, not at the price of changing a Videl if things blow up! :lol: :roll:

Heres a stack on the H4 using Exxos's IDE 1.1 board and a @cmorley eprom emulator. Also you can't see it but it has the new Exxos video interface board that allows the floppy cable to plug in on the mega while the other video adaptor blocks the floppy connector. Has a great output and has a jumper for high and medium resolution and Harry is selling it for 8 pieces of silver.
