Luke you need Blizzard 2060 firmware? I have a working 2060 and could pull the roms and read them. I may even have blank eproms to burn.

If I were to do anything Atari it would Falcon related. I have thoughts on what i'd do ... but not enough to start anything.

That would be awesome - are you able to share what things you'd consider to do with the Falcon?

Its honestly unlikely i'll do anything with the Falcon. But thats the only thing that would interest me in Atari land.

I would have to say the TF4060 is the #1 most desired project I am looking forward to being ready enough to offer boards to those of us willing to test them or purchase! Thanks for all you do and please keep up the great work.

Shame the market is relatively open now. The number of CT60/CT60e/CT63 is probably considerably less than the number of functional Falcons.

There is an interesting thread on Atari-Forum from someone who is doing their own homebrew 030 Falcon card, technical discussions about the challenges he came across.

There is a slim hope for Falcon owners as Centurion have said they will start reselling CT60/CT63 next year. Limited runs. Price not announced.

[Edit} David just released a summary video.

I cant get a Falcon for anything like reasonable money. I could get a rare outrun arcade machine for less than a Falcon. I could even get a X68000 for less than a Falcon. So its unlikely i'll do anything Falcony.

Would a loaner Falcon be acceptable? I have one that I would be willing to send you for such a noble project. What are some of the ideas you have for falcon projects?

Well two things. First i'm not comfortable experimenting on something i dont own and second if i dont own a Falcon i dont have any motivation to create things for it. So its highly unlikely to ever happen.

Understandable, on both fronts, My problem is the exact opposite, If I sell it, I suddenly won't be interested in the cool thing you create! Sigh, Life
