Ok, assembled and seems to work well. Tomorrow it's IDE's turn... :D

Could someone take a photo of the byteswap adapter mounted on the motherboard?
Thank you !

Ok, everything seems to work and also the Byteswap adapter finally.
Can you recommend a filesystem for Atari st? Are there only PP and HDDrivers? They have high costs and this would only be justified for guaranteed operation on Raven, while I'm only doing some tests at the moment...

HDDriver has a demo available that allows testing before buying:

Yes, but it really has too many limitations.

HDDriver is rock solid on the Raven. Highly recommended, used it for literally decades.

Ok, then I'll consider the purchase.

I'm using HDDriver here. Mine is a couple of versions old now but appears to work fine.

It should be said that for EmuTOS and MiNT you don't need any third party drivers.

For MagiC it's a must though.

And, for some theoretical future effort to get official Atari TOS running it would be too.
(I've been tempted myself but holding off such endeavours to maybe piggyback on work that may or may not be happening in the context of a different Atari-wannabe machine)

Is it a must or is it necessary?
I saw that there are other works (PP or the Putnik drivers that I used on SatanDisk)?

Ah, sorry. Don't know if HDDriver in particular is a must. It's the only one I tried since I'm used to it from the ST.
What I meant to say is that some kind of Atari harddisk driver is necessary for running MagiC.

I haven't tried the PP driver, or some of the other alternatives.
