any major changes requested?
No floating pins please :-)
And a 5V IDE LED connector would be perfect.
And yes, this card is a winner!

No to the LED but i'll sort the floats.

My board arrived today and soldered it up. Hopefully I can test it tomorrow!
Has anyone tested it in a 2000? I have rev 5/6/8 A500's and rev 4.3/6.x 2000's to test. Not sure how many of those I can get to this weekend though.

I developed it in the CDTV and A2000. A500 was an afterthought.

You removed the CDTV patches in the latest test firmware and while this one made the board work for me, will it still work on the CDTV? Just curious.

Will boot but the CD will not work.

In and working on my rev 6A A500 no real issues. Further testing tomorrow :)
My CPLD does get quite hot though - haven't tried any other firmware than 'full phase 7' yet.
IDE 1.5MB/s with 'cpu fastrom' - haven't tried mufastrom yet.

About CDTV situation. How it will perform with patches? I think that I read somewhere that CD works, but internal SCSI controller doesn`'t?
If CD works that would be enough, internat SCSI is slow compared to any IDE controller.

You could try initial firmware?

Tested TF536 okay in A500 R6, R8A and A2000 R6. Not sure if I'll find the A2000 R4 anytime soon. Only tested SD cards not CF.
Strangely with mufastrom my IDE speed is 2.6MB/sec which is less than others seem to be reporting. I did think I had a 2mm 44pin IDE header but I only had a female one, so had to stuff some pin headers in there to get the cable to attach - could be noise from the extra connections?
Oh, and CPLD gets hot in all three systems - so I guess normal?
