Boots without issue on a 2B here.
Does it boot again when you revert to the previous FW?

Yes it's fine on previous FW.
Re: TF1230 Compatibility
I've updated mine and seems to work fine on 1B PCB.
Friday At Eight seems ok for me after that static image of the face/eyes.
I use Zeb's 16GB CF image. It's full with WHDLoad Games and Demos.

Re: TF1230 Compatibility
I found that the new WhichAmiga firmware shows the real clock speed of the processor. Could you make similar corrections also in the firmware for TF536?
Re: TF1230 Compatibility
I have just received my TF1230 128MB
So , in trying to install it I have found some issues...
Yes, it's difficult to get the card physically installed, but once you lift the main board slightly it fits OK
Secondly, after I installed it, I removed my CF from the 1200's onboard IDE, and used a workbench floppy just to confirm the 1230 was working and showing the correct memory.
It was.
Now, I re-connect the CF to the onboard IDE, remove the floppy , and try to boot...
NOTHING... !
So, I turned off and removed the jumper onboard the 1230 that will disable the 030, and re-boot, thinking that the install disk needs libraries installed for it to work perhaps?
So, now it boots, but the 1230 is basically disabled, no fast ram showing up.
Anyway, I run the install disk, and re-boot, putting the jumper back to "Enable 030" mode, and again ....Nothing .. no boot.
Obviously I can't boot from the 1230's IDE as I need a modified Kickstart for that.
So I can't seem to boot from the 1200's IDE when the 1230 is enabled???
Any ideas?

Contact the seller for some support
Re: TF1230 Compatibility
@Abyss is your onboard IDE using a long IDE cable, or is it a short cable?
TF1230 won't work with a long IDE cable unless you use a buffered interface.

Re: TF1230 Compatibility
@Higgy Yes, long cable
So I just swapped to a short cable and it works !
Thanks for the tip
I thought a cable was a cable .... I didn't think the extra few cm would make a difference?
I assumed as it worked before it should just work as normal.
Thanks again

Re: TF1230 Compatibility
Out of interest, what's the longest a cable can be for this purpose?
