exxos's Atari, Amiga & retro forum

Since I had plenty of time for my own leisure today, I decided to have a look at my Falcon setup, which for memory is working great in 68000 mode but doesn't want to boot in 68060 mode.

Until today, I had tried a lot of tips, workarounds and methods found over the forums to make my CT63 work, but I never made it boot. No matter which PSUs (PicoPSU, Centuriontech CT60PSU and my own built one) I tried, the CT63 was a no go.

But today morning, I vaguely remembered a thread from @mikro where he was talking about an issue he had with a clock patch, which was not delivering a clock signal to pin 23 of the Falcon expansion.

And I then also remembered that a a trace was completely damaged near R216, but I didn't care at that time because the new clock patch I was fitting was working great. But it turned out that it was this trace that was causing the CT63 not to boot.

There was no clock signal on pin 23 when the trace was damaged, but once repaired clock signal was back again.

My Falcon now boots in both modes and everything seems good so far (I will test further later).


The culprit trace now fixed:

The screen I was long waiting for:
Weird settings due to an old NVRAM battery:
The CT63 is also recognized in CTFLASH tool.

This small fix really made my day !

:D

:bravo: :2k2:

Thanks !

Terrific news, good work.

Thanks.

Just hope this thread will help other users having issues with their CT63 setup.

My previous clock patch was stock and probably fitted by Atari or C-LABS (I have an MKI).

The guy damaged the trace while removing the R216 resistor.

Congratulations...! :)

A boot screen for sore eyes! :D

After further tests, everything seems to work just fine.

Have you ever considered getting a DOM storage solution? ;)
It works perfectly for me.

But it's great that everything's working again now! :dualthumbup:

Nice one, glad it was a simple fix in the end :)
