I read that IMP DMA are not suitable for STE.

Glad you noticed that @JezC I forgot it was for an STE. :blonde:JezC wrote: 21 Sep 2020 10:05 I think that seller also has/had a few IMP DMA chips available .. which might be better than the link (which claims to be for an STM only?)
:shrug:
Good point... forgot that important point...but if there is another STF/M available, might be OK to swap the DMA from that & put an IMP in that one maybe?
It was me confusing machines.

I asked him and his answer is NO this is (C025913-20) not suitable for an STE.Cosmic Puppet wrote: 21 Sep 2020 09:25 Hi @doc If you email the seller he'll probably know the answer. Really helpful guy. He talked me through an upgrade I was struggling with last year.

Found this:doc wrote: 21 Sep 2020 11:40 No problem, the topic was to be opened. Now we know.
And I think it would be a great idea if we had a topic summerizing which DMA goes with which ATARI ... But perphas this topic already exists ?
What we know by now is :
C025913-38 : ST, STF, STFM, STE
C025913-20 : (Not STE)
C100110-001 (IMP) : ST, STF, STFM, (Not STE)
Feel free to improve the list ...
