@terriblefire I thought it was my keyboards playing up but obviously not.

Yes EmuTOS works great with the card. The card I've built for @exxos has a constant reset issue with tos2.06 so we will have to work out what's different there.

64mb which is mapped as TT ram and can all be used in EmuTOS at least.

It should all be available to TOS2.06 as well if running Maprom :)

This version has RAM mapped correctly, A bus error after fastram and all the A2000/A500 fixes incorporated.

All the mouse issues disappeared for me.

Try it out and report back please.

@terriblefire I've tried the new firmware. It seems to take about 60 seconds to get to the Emutos splash screen, it reports 64mb of TT ram but then doesn't detect any Hard disks.

Edit:

Just tried Tos2.06 and that boots pretty quickly which is good, no HD on that but thats the int2 issue.

Another bit of info, just to rule out a dodgy board, I've tried it in another TF536 and it does see the HD partitions but they contain garbage files

Mouse problem is fixed.

1. Slow boot in emutos, 20 second white screen
2. No Ide in emutos. Tried with a card that was formatted with firmware dated 28_6_2020(which worked perfect) and the new firmware corrupted the compact flash card
3. No Ide auto boot in Tos 2.06 even with INT tethered. but the drives are readable and writable

oh ya no cards over 4 gig work and the ASCI port has never worked correctly
