Sweet. Then I can rip apart TF's firmware and re-write it all, all in a language I never used before 8-) :lol:

LMAO, good luck with that. BTW, just fixed it, turned out to be a dodgy 68882 :shock:

You'll need to get ISE working.. and a programmer.. this has been the limiting factor on your terriblefire.

I need to reinstall the ISE again.. no idea if I need any particular version or not ? I did have it working a while ago as I flashed my CT60 ages ago.

I have a Virtualbox VM with 10.1 and 14.7 on it. I dont use the IDE at all. just makefiles.

Was that the thing which screwed up my internet when I installed it ? I had to uninstall the IDE a while ago, it was soaking up 30GB on my drive, I only have 6GB left on my C: drive, so would have to get installed on my old brick drive :roll:

Yes .. the install sizes are comedy.

What is the speed of the CPU?

The oscillator was set at 33mhz. I will order some 50s at some point

50mhz oscillators ordered, so will fit those and then see how I get on over the weekend.

Just re-flashed one of my TF534s from the ST to the Amiga.

Everything looks good so far and tomorrow I'll get the rest of the Amiga stuff together.

A couple of questions for you Amiga TF Gurus.

1. My 500+ has Kickstart 2, do I need to upgrade it to 3.1?
2. Is there any specific Diagrom version to use? I'm planning to burn it to a 27C400 but not burnt any Amiga Roms yet.
3. Will I need to get any specific drivers for the IDE interface, or will this work out of the box with KS3.1? / KS2.04?
4. Will I need to disable the MMU etc for it to work?
5. Other than youtube, is there any written instructions for setting up a TF card on an Amiga. I'm more of a reader than a watcher for learning stuff.
6. Is 50mhz going to be unreliable with Alliance memory?

Apologies if these are repeats of questions already asked. Just getting my TF Amiga fix.
