Hi All,

Just a quick post to ask if there is any interest from the community for ready built TF536 boards set up to work with the H4 and ST?

Cost TBC or can possibly build the boards for you for a builder fee etc.

I have an Atari 1040ste, that's been updated with dual tos and 4gb ram. I'd be interested in a fully assembled TF536 if possible for this model. I can post pictures of under the hood if it helps at all ?

I'm not sure that its going to be possible for an STE unfortunately, the TF536 works with a DIL 68K but the STe's have a PLCC68 and would need an adaptor. It is fir to say that @kludge I think was working on an adaptor but i'm not sure of the level of success, that and it was for an Amiga A600 initially.

Hi @PhilC, Yes I'd be interested...almost certainly one, possibly in two for my H4 boards.

As always, price is a factor (but more relating to the timescale rather than the actual purchase...and funds might only allow for one rather than two).

Would ideally be a fully assembled & tested build for me.

No time pressure on my side - need to find a way to save up some funds first! :( :ball:

@JezC fully assembled is what I'd really ne looking at doing, giving the end user a couple of options such as amount of ram and cpu type if possible.

No idea of cost yet but will put some figures together over the next few days.
