Re: Falcon 030 stopped for 17 years. does not recognize floppy or HD
thank you. This info is gold. I have already done the re-seating and there is no difference. therefore, the next step will be to replace the NVRAM, which I imagine needs to be replaced because, as it has been without power for so long, the information it contained has been lost. I am going to order...

Re: CT60 memory test strangeness
True problem is CLOCKPATCH if you wuld like use ct60 then please remove clock patch! and make sdma mod. IMO this is a pure nonsense. As far as I know SDMA modification is just one of various clock patches ( http://powerphenix.com/ct60/english/fitting63.htm ). I have SDMA clock patch on both of my c...

Re: Picked up 3 Atari Falcons
I'm curious where you got the sequence number from and what that means - does that mean it was the 31st unit produced, period? Or just 31st in a certain period of time? I'm surprised I haven't hit upon much info on these yet. You'd think if there were 'pre-production' or demo units out there someon...

Re: Picked up 3 Atari Falcons
Here are some pics - the pics of the motherboard are from within one of the 'B' units -- the one with the Falcon grey case but white keyboard. Don't know if these help - the board looks like the standard Falcon board, although with ROM/PROMs that are labelled. https://drive.google.com/drive/folders...

Re: 68080 Apollo Core
My personal experience with PMMU enabled on TT and ct60 is, that with that enabled, more software to crash than without. So PMMU support sounds a nice freature, but I idiot think, that many people will be unhappy enabling that memory protection feature in MiNT, when their favourite legacy GEM appli...

Re: Keyboard and monitor recomendations
The mega st keyboard has ways to repair bad keys. It fortunatley has a solid pcb instead of a mylar. You can spray a little contact spray(not wd40) in the switches to clean the >30yo contacts on the inside. Or Desolder and remove all the switches and solder in new cherry black/red/brown/blue switch...

Re: Keyboard and monitor recomendations
A common problem with the MegaSTE/TT keyboards is damaged tracks of the mylar which results in some keys stop working, but that's easy to fix. Out of curiosity, how would you fix it? :-) Dexterslab done it before on his TT. http://www.mr2.net/marknias/atari_tt030.html#Keyboard I have Mega ST keyboa...

Re: CT63/CTPCI black screen at boot
This is scary. I have a CT63/CTPCI with one slot, that have a Radeon card. I am considering adding EtherNat. Is it risky? Can just adding it cause the CT63 to go bad? I can only speak from my experience, but somehow it was CT63+EtherNat combo that broke up both boards. Rodolphe suspected thermal is...

Re: CT60e is coming :)
Does somebody have recommendation for cooler with fan for 68060? btw is it possible to have 68060 without fan inside Falcon? (without overclocking of course...) Chipset coolers (45mmx45mm) are perfect. 060 is designed to work without active cooling, so you should be able to use it without fan. This...

Best (safe) way to pull out ct60e
Hi, compared to ct60, ct60e seems to sit quite tightly on falcon mobo because it snaps to falcon PSU connector. I'm afraid to use excessive force to pull it out and there's no really room to try loosen plastic PSU connector lip on falcon mobo underneath ct60e before pulling board off. I'm asking bec...

VAMPIRE V4 standalone price was anounced: https://www.vesalia.de/e_vampirev4sa.htm 499.90 € ugh... That's quite much for emulation board.
