Yeah I could do that..

TBH... probably best just to drop the TF536 altogether lest some amiga person buys one thinking it will work in their machine.

Exxos530 is fine

Muahahaha...


Running from fast ram... (cache is hardwired off in this test)



Oddly though, when BLTFIX.PRG is run the floppy starts to malfunction The screen gets corrupted and it crashes :shrug:

EDIT:
This current STE is 512K machine.. so maybe it needs more RAM...

EDIT2:
OK so when caches are on the floppy malfunctions then it seems :roll: This machine does not have any other fixes done either yet so it could be anything..

Those new benchmarks must be so good because of the blue heatsink :D

It looks like there is a bit of noise on one of the data lines as it will only boot with the scope probe on it now :roll:

This setup seems be suffering similar problems as when MAPROM was run, it would start corrupting the floppy contents.

I have been trying to get EMUTOS working, but that seems to suffer a similar problem where the floppy stops working when it has loaded. This board will otherwise run perfectly fine on my H4 under TOS206 / EMUTOS.


EDIT:

Looks like with TOS206 it doesn't like the caches on for floppy.. and yet on a H4 I don't have this problem :shrug:

Please can you tell us when the blue heat sink will be ready for release?

Only got black ones in my store, do people really want blue ones ?! :roll:

Now running the 16MB alt-ram patch of EMUTOS that BW did for me.. (from floppy) then running the patched MAPROM, then GB6..

Reference a stock STE (blitter on)


Reference a stock machine (blitter off)

Only because of the extra performance it provides, source: your screenshots

Yeah, blue or purple please :lol:

P.s. compatible machine for benchmark maybe? Tos1.04 on one if them
