PhilC wrote: 14 Oct 2025 14:03 Cool, sounds like a possibility then, @JezC There you go, build yourself a Raven and you've already got yourself a little project ;)

JezC wrote: 14 Oct 2025 14:30 Thanks @PhilC ... I think...?

:lol:


The usefulness is questionable but I suppose such card could/would probably easily work in an old PC as well, so there's a project to be had there even without having to build a Raven :)

Someone was doing a H5 ATX port but seemed to have not got completed now, can't remember who was doing it now.

That was me :D
I had a 1st version running, but got distracted by too many ideas what to add…

Put it aside for some time - now I want to build a Raven first :mrgreen:

I spent some time today updating Raven060 #1 (white cased Raven). This had become unstable when I last updated things awhile ago to test non-ET4000 video cards. This Raven currently has the LC CPU still.

Anyway, the white Raven is now updated (latest updates) and seems stable again with an ET4000AX VGA card. Loving the new splash screen on the RVBIOS.

Happy that it is stable again. :)

Update the White Raven060 today with a MC68060RC50 processor so both my Ravens are now running full processors now.

Also tested 3x CL-GD5429 video cards today which work:

Hi I've just stumbled across this build looks interesting is it possible to still get hold of the PCB so I can build my own raven.
Thanks

How stable was the LC for Raven? Is an FPU vital to run it or was there a use case in your setup that needed an FPU so you upgraded to the RC?
Was kinda hoping the LC would be OK and maybe with an FPU emulator…

I had the opportunity to buy a couple of cheap MC68060RC50 processors so upgraded. The LC chip with the FPU emulator was working fine with EmuTOS.

I have converted the KiCad IO shield template to an STL an merged it with another IO template. I have ordered some to see if they fit and they are in the post to me.
