TF536 for Atari STF

Post by Sympathyman »

I bought from EXOOS boards TF 536 for Amiga and Atari. With Amiga I know most but for Atari I need at list small advises. I have Atari STF and would like add to it TF536. I am older person but have long time experience with computers, telecommunication university education and small lab. Now I learn my grandchildren theory and practice in electronic. For TF536 Atari board from EXOOS I collected all parts specified on "The LaST Upgrade Part 39" but totally don't know how is with 0136 double TOS. I suspect that this TOS mounted on TF 536 for Atari will work with computer and probably will be necessary remove old original TOS chips. But I am not sure, maybe wrong, maybe TF536 can't work with Atari STF? With a little help if I will understand subject I would like buy additional board for Atari ST, two sets of TOS to make two computers from three pieces what I have modified with fast CPU and more modern maybe not operating system. All this with young people what should learn have fun and get inspiration for what wand do in future. So hope get from you here a little advise, maybe contact to somebody who can help.

The TF536 Is a Amiga project. While there was Atari firmware, that project isn't by myself or maintained. That needs a ROM decoder as well. It is essentially a older obsolete project now.

The ST536 is my updated port for the ST only which fixes all previous issues and is a whole different project. ROM is built onto the ST536. I just explained the ROM in fact here..viewtopic.php?f=94&t=6637

The ROM on the motherboard should be removed as the ROM is now on the ST536.

I understand of course that Atari project is something different from Amiga. When I bought EXOOS board for Atari I suspected that socket in corner is for ROM and when it will be used old ROM can't be installed longer in computer. For two systems I need build two boards and buy two pieces of ROM (item 0136 which now is back in store) and it should work with STF model even if in shop is written that this TOS is for STE? I try complete at the beginning all necessary parts and ship what is possible together to save on shipping costs and in meantime try collect information about software what must be installed after all will be soldered and ready for programming. Will do next order but try be sure what I need to buy. I had Atari computers in use at its time, but inside did all with PC computers and now I must build my knowledge about Atari nearly from the beginning.

You need to read the link i posted in the previous post. I don't sell the ROM for the ST536 currently. You need to buy the blank ROM item 0251 and burn yourself.
