@terriblefire Frontier runs nice and smooth here on the 534, with glorious beep-boops from the YM chip :)

Pretty sure there is an interrupt issue then. I will drop the TF534 code from your repo in to see if it works later.

@terriblefire here's the simple relocator id been working on. Was going to wait for feedback before ordering any.
My other thought was to fo a right angled adaptor that would then make the ide point towards the rear.

TF536 progress,

Frontier hits address 0x(FF)FF0808 ... and gets a time out bus error on this. Doesnt appear that it should be doing this so..

Its absolutely 100% repeatable so i'm guessing something upstream is doing something wrong?
EDIT: There is something familiar about this bug. I wish the atari-forum was up because i think ive fixed this before.

There's yer problem mate.
Bloody long running DTACKs.

DTACK is low a really long time on sound access. I bypassed the GLUE decoding and did my own in my SEC booster to fix sound issues.

Oh,
I do have something like this already here... 🤔

@8 Bit Dreams yeah that'll probably fit.

My TF536 will either be used on a Mega ST or the H4, so I don't really need to worry about the adaptor board

Just need to check does it really fit or not,
It's open source, will find a link to it and post it here later..

PS
What's the easiest way to update to 2.06? Still haven't done it...

Ok looks like the same issue. How do you stop GLUE decoding it though? I read the relevant comments but didnt notice that.

After i fixed that issue everything rock solid stable but looks like it drops a clock hear and there due to the stuff the 030 does internally.

Needs a decoder. Exxos is working going to be selling them soon.
