Guess the performance pretty much matches the other completed boards with 32.0 MHZ XTALS. Here the startup screen for a game Icky!. I think the color is better than the 1040! Really makes one appreciate the Blitter though!!!!

Nice! Did you solve the colour issue then?

No, next is to check out the ultra satan.

That's ironic Icky :) well done Paul, some good progress. I'm interested to see what happens with the Ultrasatan.

Made an expendable flash disk last night. I'm pretty confident it will work since it passes the cart test. But ya never know after the beating the OPTO gave me with the serial.

I believe the Ultra Satan in a total success!! Everything works fine copied Bench6 directory from floppy to HD, ran copied Bench 6.. from HD. Ran ICD speed test and its a little faster than my normal 1040, believe it was 1.005 mb/sec. Have experienced no anonlies with the hard disk. Been booting from power up with no reset. :dualthumbup: :dualthumbup: :dualthumbup: :cheer: :cheer: :cheer: :dualthumbup: :dualthumbup: :dualthumbup:

Great stuff!
