F401 is easy to get for around 5-7 euro
But F730 or F722 as well is possible but price around 25euro

I have ported firmware to f401R stm32. It is easier to get.
So currently I can support following chips
Stm32F7xxR (730, 722)
Stm32F401Rx (any as target was smallest flash and ram)

Good afternoon Gents,

Just a quick question and a bit of a selfish one. Will the TFMSX get to a point or release as I’d love to build and use one.

Have a good afternoon

If it ain't broke, test it to Destruction.

I just watched GadgetUKs video (patron release) and oh my holy good god I'm blown away. I've had my MSX1 since the late 80s and an MSX2 has been really high on my wish list for years, its just finding one in the UK at a sane price. This project though, dare I ask, Stephen have you had any chance to work on it further towards a release?

If there was any means of getting one of the boards even as it currently stands I'd jump at the chance but I've waited since the 80s so another few months/years ain't going to hurt.

Sorry for the gushing post, I'm just super excited after watching that video.

Insanely great work as always Stephen.

The honest truth is that for the last six weeks I’ve been completely swamped with building works at home. Then the cold snap bit and the basement lab area was down to freezing temps.

I have a Cart here from Ollie that has an FPGA SCC on it that doesn’t work with the TFMSX. I need to figure out why before I ship. I’m using the same circuit as the H4 Atari ST clone to mix audio from the Carts and YM Synth so a little perplexed as to why it doesn’t work with the repro but does with original SCC carts

I know all too well the amount time and effort home renovations takes, we put a new kitchen in the house at the start of the year but it was taking everything back to brickwork and starting again, serious upheaval.

I'd offer to help with the boards development if I knew how but unfortunately such things go way over my head. I can put them together ok, have built your TF1230 (I think you seen the video, CRG on YouTube) and soon going to build the 1260. For this though I genuinely don't think I've been so excited for a new project in a long time, even if I'm not building it myself but just to buy one and have it.

At present @arkadiusz.makarenko, @GadgetUK164, BGOllie and (i think) @go0se got sent a board. Next revision i'll post some to @8 Bit Dreams and @alenppc if they're interested. I was trying to keep the testing "UK" based for this one.

Just need time to get the bugs out.
