Been aiming to update my old hard disk enclosure.
Removed the old psu.

Got the Rascsi board inside, but as it is currently can't quite squeeze the Raspberry Pi where I want it.

Hoping to also fit a floppy drive and one of @DominoTree external floppy drive boards in there.

Got a PLCC to DIP adapter so had to try it out. 68000 worked fine. Tried my TF536, fuji/Atari logo pop up but then screen goes blank straight after.

So, onto my other STe, which needs an upgrade as it still has TOS 1.06 chips in there. So solder dualtos board up and add TOS 1.62/EmuTOS chip.

Tested again with just the 68000 inside, all good so swapped in TF536.

Then curse the forum for logging me out just before posting this and having to rewrite it all :chairsmack:

I guess unsurprisingly given the only mandatory fixes I've done is making sure my PSUs are good, it's not completely stable. Was nice hearing Fate of Atlantis playing music on the YM and sound through DMA. Guess I should start on some of the fixes next. Might need some more supplies/tools to help make sure I don't do more damage than good :roll:

Bought this rather grubby looking device a while back, was having crashes and screen corruptions occurring rather randomly. Put it somewhere "safe" before then finding it a few weeks later.

Took it apart removed all the sweat marks that came with it. Cleaned out the cartridge slot with some IPA.

Now everything seems to work fine, well least GB or CGB wise as I don't have any GBA cartridges to use with it :lol:

Just waiting to replace the case with something rather cleaner looking and without bits of the plastic fallen off.
