exxos's Atari, Amiga & retro forum

Sweet. :) As I faced similar problem and since I lack your 3D printing / PCB designing skills, I had to do with a home made solution:
The biggest hell was to flip *all* the ribbon connectors, so I could place it like that (otherwise they would go the "wrong" direction - on the top of the PCB). This way I could keep even the shielding and everything.

As you can see, even the 4 MB module fits nicely.

Nice solution @mikro. I did go down that route but wasn't satisfied. Plus the external graphics 3D printed GFX card housing I did still kept nagging at my OCD. I really wanted a neat solution.

Am hoping I can refine this so it becomes a sort of frame that can be placed into the TT and provide all the right ports out neatly at the back.

I assume since it also has VME, this might work for the MegaSTE as well?

Is anyone aware of any modern solutions for VME as I'd be interested in some sort of adapter to drop a suitable VGA card into mine?

Not Atari but a bit of retro.

Ohhh that penfold guy, expect mass errors! :lol: I actually think I have that book somewhere here..

Yet another printer arrives


Stumbled at the first hurdle - it doesn't like BigSur the printer is not recognised. Works fine in Windoze but seems that BigSur on the Mac yet again is the mother of all upgrades.

Hardly anything works with Big Sur. They changed so much under the hood that devices drivers are completely incompatible as are anything which interacts with the kernel directly, such as Anti-Virus programs. Sophos expect to get their anti-virus working on it by... The Autumn!

Agree they have messed up a bit with BigSur.

On the other hand I have fixed the issue. Had some stale FTDI drivers which aren't playing nicely with the BiGSur apple version. Remove those old ones that have been working pre-BigSur and it is now recognised.
