TF536 on A2000

[GadgetUK164]

I've just experimented on a rev 6.2 board - removing the pull up resistor (2K7) on the RW pin made it always boot with the coloured bars, but same hang after that. I tried various resistors sizes in place of the 2K7 (2K2, 4K7, 10K, without completely) and it didn't improve things.

This firmware fixes it for me ... please test and confirm...

It may also fix mouse issues on Atari ST and minor/intermittent timing issues on the A500.

Still testing, but booty booty on the first A2000 I've tested it with =D Turrican 2 sound fix is working too! Plus... my IDE is now 3.6MB/s with MMU!!!!! it has shot up from when I last tested the old firmware on the 500! Will test the rev 4 board next.

Absolutely well done Stephen, it is trully amazing how you are able to not only create this stuff, but work out wtf goes wrong with the mixture of Amiga hardware we throw at it.

Thanks for testing Chris. One more report and i'll push the firmware up to github.

No prob =D I've tested just now on the rev 4 and that works perfectly too! Obviously I need to spend more time testing but I've been in and out of half a dozen games, 3 or so different bench marks etc, and some demos and it "just works". I had a wierd issue with Doom (not giving me display options), and then controls going on there own - but I think that's this CF card I am testing with which was built for AGA systems.

I will test back on the A500 in a bit, just going to give this rev 4 a good test for half an hour.

I also noticed the CPLD runs about 50% cooler than it did too!

If it helps, I popped this onto my A500's 536 and all is still good there. Turrican II still sounds good, Damocles is still synced up. I'll try a few others but looks good to me.

Can't comment on A2000 sadly!

Thats useful. I have had my A2000 running for hours so i think its ok now.

What was it?

I'll also try it on an ST later, i presume the IDE and Ram will be mapped wrong though?

I was just coming here to report music issues on Xenon II, so I tried the new firmware and it fixed it.
Good work dude :)

Oh and 3.6mb/sec up from 3.2mb so it looks like a winrar.
