Is the @rubber_jonnie assembly line in need of work then? :lol:

@PhilC Always!

I'll send you one once I've got it to work if youd like @rubber_jonnie

@PhilC Ooooh, yes please.

Just made up the first of the Megabus to 68k adaptors. Next version I'd probably move the two lots of headers to the sides of the board next time, to avoid the psu.

Time to try it out later on.

Nice one.

Nice. The white PCB makes it look like paper :)

Yeah I suppose it does, not sure I will stick with the white yet. It really does show up all the flux that's left over, which helps with cleaning I guess?

And just finished building the Megabus to buffered IDE adaptor. I need to work on the firmware a little over the next few days and will post an update when / if it works.

In between other jobs today I managed to get my second TF536 up and running. This time on my first H4.

Yet again you can't trust the speed that's stamped on the chip. The first supposed 50mhz cpu got as far as first reset on Diagrom and kept crashing. Swapped that out for another ceramic 50mhz and off it went. Booted to Diagrom and passed the memory test first go.

Hopefully when @terriblefire gets time he can modify the firmware with the ST ram and IDE addresses and then itll get a good test and will hopefully have found its permanent home in one of my H4s.
