Hmm... that are great news!
But may I ask why 66MB are shown? Shouldn't it be 128MB? 🤪🤔

With the latest firmware - boots fine on my 2B! Just doing a full memory test but seems fine! Booted from HDD without issue, runs games and utils etc.
I did notice performance isn't what I would expect of 50Mhz though. Benchmarks coming back about 20 - 25% slower than a 536 @ 50Mhz. Now that could be because I have an 060 HDD build here and everything setup for that. Maybe that's the issue there, or perhaps because its the beta firmware - I am using the one dated 01/09/2021.

Fantastic though - great to see it working on my 2B!!!! I just wish I had a 1D4 to test with =/
NOTE: MEGA thanks to supaduper for the components to build this today!!!!!!!!!!!! =D

Memory test passed btw - working solid here on 2B!

Yeah, I know...was just a joke.. :P
btw, there is a possibility to implement auto detect code for RAM, this would make life much easier, since only one FW would be needed no matter what amount of ram is installed :D

I am pretty sure I read in an earlier post that burst mode has not been implemented yet so it will probably turn into a red race car later on in the design process :lol:

Nice build BTW

The OS auto detect code is rubbish. But I’m planning to remove autoconfig completely and put the ram
At 08000000. So same as TF1260

This what I understand pcmcia I'll by working when you do this like in TF1260?

[terriblefire]

Should be working already?
