Flaco from France

Post by flaco »

Hi Exxos forum users,

As a hobby, I am hacking the hardware of my Amstrad CPCs, Amigas and Atari STF. I like making my own expansion boards for them and learning a lot in the process (KiCad, verilog, stm32).
I am also impressed by what the software developers have released for these machines during the last few years, both in numbers and quality. Thank you guys !

Thanks for asking.

The original ones I prefer for my retro systems are :
-a RAM/flash ROM board where the stm32f103 does uPD765 emulation, to use floppy images from a SD card on my CPC464
-an adapter (or should I say a hub) to use several USB controllers (pad, mouse, kbd) on the CPC, and a similar one for the Amiga(CD32)/Atari
-an adapter to use a USB keyboard on my Amigas (my spare A500 came without a keyboard, and I own a CD32)

I also made a gotek clone with OSD (F105+F103) and drive swap that I installed inside my A500 and 1200 while keeping the original floppy drive. However this one mostly uses existing designs and the firmwares from Keir Fraser, so it is not really original.

Did you use ST HAL USB Host stack by any chance or some 3rd party usb stacks?
