Okey Doey matey, great stuff, I will have to put some 128 mb ram on one of the TF330s as I sent the original one with 128mb on it to Steve so he can do his magic on it :)

Two more Atari version TF536 are now available.
Both are 64mb with 33mhz 68030 running at 50mhz successfully for 5 to 6 hours non stop. Lots of other testing done.
As said before ideally these will need a version of TOS that supports the 030 cpu. And to achieve this a decoder board may be required.
The boards are £140 each plus postage.
There are a further three on test which should be available in a couple of days.

'93 and '96 datecodes :D Makes sense.
'93 datecodes are the best. They are indestructible, and most run without issues at 50 mhz. '95 was pure garbage... 99% fail at 50 mhz.
