Just checking, for when I get home tomorrow. Is the problem that its corrupting the sd card? Don't want to accidentally lose some stuff and will make another if that's the case.

I lost my entire SD card, so I'd image it first before you do anything.

Since I rebuilt mine from my backups, I haven't had problems of losing data again, though I did have on screen file corruption of folder/file names at one point at 40Mhz, though after a reboot to 8Mhz, it was all fine, and even going back to 40Mhz, the problem didn't come back again.

No problems with my V1 booster though it would seem.

Though here's a thought. CosmosEx uses the ACSI port to connect to network shares, and I haven't been able to connect during these tests, it moans about there being a mount error, though I have tried it pointing at several different shares. I'm now wondering if that's a side effect of the speed/booster, and I think I'll have to test again at 8Mhz as it had been working previously.

Hi,
I bought a motherboard with external blitter and still corrupted, Can i tried replace P100 2.2 kohm to 1.2 kohm?
I am installed pull up resistor 10 kohm to DMA databus and 390 pF to PIN 2 on DMA (DMA is IMP)

Thanks.
Pls. can you send me GAL with new firmware?
with other hardware from your store...

I can do yes... But you will have to do small modifications to the booster as well, as the brand of GAL has impacted the operation of the circuit a lot.

I am install new GAL with external clock and my 520 STe without solo blitter chip working fine. All OK. Thanks

ALL Is not ok :| I have problem to find gut way for 32 mhz wire, screen is corupted or problem with St ram. Can i install 32Mhz oscillator on the booster and i will remove 32mhz line from motherboard?
And second problem is(8 or 32mhz) Fdd isn't working gut, some error in format, copy, read. On another computer working gut. DMAdata bus has pul up resistor. I try diferent RAM. And nothing.

Sorry for my englisch and your time

I thought you had all this working now?

Do you have 33R in series with 32MHz wire ? You cannot use the oscillator on the board any more, this has to be removed because of hard drive issues and possibly floppy issues.

As for the floppy there are many mods should be done like this one..

Also read all info here..

The V1 booster may help with some things also..

I think you should probably ask around and find someone to fix your machine for you.. It really isn't that difficult to install this kit..

Yes i have 33ohm in series, i try with 47ohm and without resistor
, long wire or short wire. Can i try replace the 74f257 to 74hct257? Do you thinking clock from oscilator on booster is diferent? Or some synchronization on motherboard is best? I have realy problem with 32mhz wire from 74f257. I try only connect short(5cm) wire to pin 4 and screen or RAM corupted.
About floppy i read some thread but to match modifikacion. :)
I will try some modifikacion.

This motherboard is strange, i will try install to my second motherboard.

Thanks
