Well the new addition seems to work happily enough.
Need more time to play with it though just having Frontier running in fast ram looks impressive enough for now.

Welcome to the ST + TF536 club!

:bravo: :girldance:

Been playing around with a Fast RAM loaded EmuTOS 1.1.1, NVDI 2.5, FreeMiNT and VanillaMiNT.
Doesn't look too bad performance wise.
Still not quite sure what I can do with MINT though. Played a couple of games of ctris though.

Well I never originally made use of the mounting point for the front reset switch. While someone from the Flash Floppy Facebook had been working on a mobile app to remote control a gotek, I thought wouldn't it be great to remote reset the machine as well when need.
Also saw @dhedberg's CT60 remote control, obviously this isn't as elegant.


After a quick test got greeted with this awfully slow start up screen, never had this happen before :WTF:
I did previously have emutos loaded in fastram.


Oh and keyboard can just be fitted in place over it :lol:

Just tried added an IDE to SATA adapter to the IDE port, not much luck. Even tried attaching an IDE CD and DVD drive to it. Guessing I need to strip down my Raspberry Pi and try updating the firmware on the TF536 with it.

Well flashing the firmware with my Pi4 went well enough. Backed up the existing firmware just in case.


Looks like some progress, not so sure about the reported Vendor/Product name though, tested with an old DVD drive. Think I need to redo the IDE twist cable :roll:

Well sorted my issue with the twisted IDE cables by ordering @Badwolf's IDE board from PCBWay. Got a few spare boards now :lol:
Works great, getting transfer rates of about 1750kb/s now.

:bravo:

Nice to see the photo with PhilC's TF536 in there!

It's giving me the encouragement to fix my H5C and put my TF from PhilC in there too!
(I'm just not going to predict when that will happen :lol: :roll: )
