TF536 and Falcon

Post by Cyprian »

If I'm not wrong, Falcon's CPU slot is 68000 compatible, therefore what about adopting TF536 for Falcon?

Because for one terriblefire isn't doing any new boards or firmware and doesn't own a falcon, secondly, there's no point as someone is already doing basically doing the same thing,https://www.exxosforum.co.uk/forum/viewt ... 411#p53411

David's booster looks promising.

Is it not so that only a "relocator" for TF536 will be needed as Falcon's cpu slot is 68000 compatible?
Regarding firmware, I saw some updates for the ST. Who made them?

I'm following that thread with interest...and if you do find a way to interface the TF536 to a Falcon then I'd be very interested in that too!

I have one TF536 running on my first H4 & am building up the second TF536...not sure where that will go - yet!

I've always been interested in a falcon booster.. But problem is lack of time. Its been a year since I last worked on my 68k boosters.. I think supporting badwolfs efforts is the way to go, rather than trying to fit a 536 into something it was never intended to run with.
