You can get one here:

I am on the list for a second one...

DO NOT USE DEVICES WHERE THE IP CHANGES CONSTANTLY!
At this time it is unfortunately not possible to white list users when your IP changes constantly.
You may inadvertently get banned because a previous attack may have used the IP you are now on.
So I suggest people only use fixed IP address devices until I can think of a solution for this problem!

I guess a third list will start soon, as the second one is already full.JezC wrote: Tue Oct 07, 2025 8:36 pm I didn't realise he was allowing people to ask for a second board already...I'd better get saving...![]()
Re: Newcomer arriving soon...
What do you mean, he's already fulfilled two batches already, he's now on the 3rd batch.
Ps @HigashiJun make sure to run DML's FPUTEST program, as my TT's CPU wasn't stable at 48mhz.

Yes, I meant a fourth list...Steve wrote: Wed Oct 08, 2025 7:17 am What do you mean, he's already fulfilled two batches already, he's now on the 3rd batch.

I will run the test before closing the machine, thanks.

Re: Newcomer arriving soon...
Hmm, ran some FPU tests and everything was OK with FPUCHECK.
However, FPUTEST still returns the same error:
I'll try cleaning the socket and see what happens.

Re: Newcomer arriving soon...
I would say that your FPU isn't happy at 48mhz... this is the same reason I set mine back to 32mhz. Sure - you could get away with running some programs at 48mhz, but I don't like the idea of my FPU running at speeds which makes parts of it's internal logic to break.

But I also don't like the idea of having my CPU running at 48MHz and my FPU at only 32MHz.
I will grab a 50MHz certified FPU from exxos store.

Re: Newcomer arriving soon...
Yay, this has just arrived:
As always, all the stuff from exxos reaches me in less than 7 days.
Now have to fit it and test it at 48MHz.

I think my FPUs (One in my MSTE and one in my A1200 accelerator) are 25Mhz, so that's nice and speedy. I take it that the FPU in a TT is mapped in a totally different way to the MSTE.
Collector of many retro things!
800XL and 65XE both with Ultimate1MB,VBXL/XE & PokeyMax, SIDE3, SDrive Max, 2x 1010 cassette, 2x 1050 one with Happy mod, 3x 2600 Jr, 7800 and Lynx II
Approx 20 STs, including a 520 STM, 520 STFMs, 3x Mega ST, MSTE & 2x 32 Mhz boosted STEs
Plus the rest, totalling around 50 machines including a QL, 3x BBC Model B, Electron, Spectrums, ZX81 etc...

Re: Newcomer arriving soon...
Indeed. The 68030 has a special interface to connect to the FPU directly which the 68000 doesn't have.rubber_jonnie wrote: Wed Oct 22, 2025 9:46 am I think my FPUs (One in my MSTE and one in my A1200 accelerator) are 25Mhz, so that's nice and speedy.

Intro retro computers since before they were retro...
ZX81->Spectrum->Memotech MTX->Sinclair QL->520STM->BBC Micro->TT030->PCs & Sun Workstations.
Added code to the MiNT kernel (still there the last time I checked) + put together MiNTOS.
Collection now with added Macs, Amigas, Suns and Acorns.
