Done some testing to day but I think I got the wrong firmware, I can boot diagrom fine but kickstart 2.05-3.1 is giving me graphical errors but boots, 3.1.4 I get No boot at all just Black screen. Anyone got a link to the firmware that do work? I did test my tf536 in my A500 and it is working just fine.

I already posted that 3.1.4 doesn’t work with the 536 on the A600.

Yeah I see that now, sorry for that.

I do get it to boot 3.1 but all the moving graphics is just wrong color and is shaky. Could it be that im using the wrong firmware.?
I downloaded it from github "tf536r2_main_top_test.jed" when I open it in edit I see a date Sun Apr 5 16:58:51 2020.
As I have read it should be the correct one.

I am not sure which one is that but I posted in the firmware thread the latest one that boots on the A600, however the board doesn’t really work that well on the 600 in general.

For me it kills the floppy drive. So probably not the best solution for that machine.

I'm sure I tested my floppy drive, and it was working fine on mine. Can't remember for sure though so will have to try it again.

I did at one point have everything tinted in a certain colour and artifacts on moving objects. Turned out it was the CPU. Swapped it out and all was good

Aha :) I do have some more CPU's on the way from china heh.. to test out.
Do you use the CDIS jumper on the board JP5 or the MMUDIS JP3 ?

I'd be interested if you can work up an adapter because it should also enable Buffy and PiStorm potentially ;)
