I mean baby's got a sticker on it an and everything! :excited: :excited: :excited: The Blitter really supper charges the ST!! So I guess it will be close to see who's first to get a Blitter running!
Yeah, sticker makes all the difference!
Really it should be me to try it out, let it blow up my blitter first ;)
Well volunteered Exxos. I don't have one to even blow up so count me out of this one.
I did order that one form china but my hopes aren't high.

Yeah, those chips are hard to find and expensive.. so leave that one to me guys.. I have couple STE's I can steal one out of if needs be... not fair on you guys to blow a £20-£30 chip up!

Ok, I can wait that long. I'll keep checking and if I spot anything I'll let ya know. :thumbup: :thumbup:
I have to solder the socket on to. I'll keep checking but so far everything looks ok. Check your messages before you try incase I come across anything.
Well after another self inflicted ass kicking we have a STF with the BLITTER running. Tried Exxos BLITTER with the sticker.. was sure the stick would bring me success. NO JOY!! With the cart in it would hang up on the startup doing the timing test.. I noticed that the BLITTER when place back in the Exxos conversion socket was really tight while on the new board it wasn't nearly as tight. So I took a BLITTER out of an MEGA 4. Strange has different part number (MM9092V) which is I believe is a national chip. Ok, plugged it in with thoughts this one would work. Didn't hang on startup but would run in starts and stops for the BLITTER test. So what I have not thought about. I didn't have the BGACK pullup in because there was one on the other side of the jumper leaving it without one when the jumper was opened. Put it in and now we have a board with an operational BLITTER!! :excited: :excited: :excited:
Also ordered the right OPTO last night and some other spares so we should be 100% functional soon!!!
I actually lifted out R150 as with the BG fix as well, mine was at about 850R , So I took out T150 and its 1K now.. For some reason I used a 1K pull up network, thought it was 4.7K :roll:
