I've bought and soldered on a XC95144XL-10TQG144I instead of the 288. Will the firmware fit into the 144 with 64mb ram?

Nope, you need a 288

That's what I thought, thanks for confirming.

Money will be running next pay day then.

IDE speed on the 536:

How is it possible that IDE is so much faster on your card than on mine?
I have tried different compact flash cards, there's no difference.

I will test it in an A500 mainboard tomorrow.

My bet is that you have a short somewhere... The CPLD shouldn't be getting hot.

There is definitely no short circuit!

Can you post close up photos of your CF adapter. Both sides if possible.

Hi ,

Received my board In the mailbox yesterday and started soldering today.
Saddly I could not finished the board, as I ordered 4 of FET switched IC ,but actually needed 6 :roll: .

Board already starts ok with Diagrom.. but offcourse without fastram.. :D

Anyway,I orded some extra Fet Switched IC and hope to finish it next week.... will post again for the result..

I was hoping to get my parts from Mouser last night, unfortunately parcel was stuck on London airport fro 2 days.
So most likely posts will be delivered on Monday. So I will have time to build card next weekend.

Customs waits are the hell of getting stuff from the 'States. It's usually about 4 days, plus more if you have to pay duty.
