Oh I totally didn't see the 8MB ram expansion question. I thought scrappysphinx was talking about a bare CDTV.

So, other than the SCSI expansion card, anyone know of any other way i can add a hdd to the CDTV? I have the pcb files for the scsi boards and can have some pcb's made up and put them together but of course space in the cdtv is limited so i was looking at the scsi-sd and the price is a bit more than i like lol

Is there a CF compatibility list for the TF328 somewhere? If not maybe it should be added to the wiki..
Only ones I've tested so far: Working:
Not working:

Hello guys. I would like to build this board. I have few questions?
I check out digikey for components listed in parts list and 20-30% of them are not available and some of listed that there is many to chose from voltage etc. What website do you guy get those components from? Any approximate total cost of those components? What's the total cost if one does it itself? Is Rev 3 board most desirable? What are difference between 1vs2vs3?

any you are able to find parts You need. Memory became very expensive since this project begun, same is for the CPU, ceramic are selling for about 30-35$, (you can also use plastic, these are working good) FPU price differs - You can get some for 6$ if You are lucky (don't buy these for 2$ on ebay - these are non working fakes. CPU socket may be a problem too, as i know - there is only one seller from china on ebay. Quote:
Most expensive pars are: Memory CPU CPU Sockets Rev.1 wasn't released public, i have built Rev.2 only - these are good, have heard some people have trouble with rev.3, can't confirm that, Rev.3 is pretty the same as rev.2, slight redesign in power lines, that's it Last edited by 8 Bit Dreams; 21 October 2017 at 12:10. |

RAM, crystals and passives at RS Components CPUs and FPU from ebay (china providers), here and here. And the FPUs from here CPLDs at Aliexpress (china). You can get these at RS Components as well but at a much higher price I do not use any microscope or magnifying glass to assemble. Luckily I have very good sight still Last edited by Black68; 21 October 2017 at 14:58. |

Thanks guys. Your help is greatly appreciated. I was referring to terrible fire github page for list of components found here https://github.com/terriblefire/tf530
Wouldn't 5x magnifying glass be good enough? I'm pretty good with soldering. If not where did you get microscope and how much was it? Which is cheap but good working chip programmer for firmware upload? Will this accelerator be able to run stable at 50Mhz? What' the current stable speed and final goal in Mhz? @plasmab can you confirm the difference between board v3 vs v2 which one to use and why |

all my TF cards i've built (9x atm) are running on 50Mhz, these are mostly stable. Other persons here reporting lower speeds. I can't let my cards work on latest firmware (cards are booting, but have issues to run any WHDLoad game, giving "illegal instruction") Last edited by 8 Bit Dreams; 21 October 2017 at 18:11. |

How does one do that with Raspberry Pi (or pc if possible)...that's cheap solution as it's only $35? What program to use with Rasberry to upload Hax? Xilinx is too expensive for this project, so is the microscope |

[ Show youtube player ] A microscope is essential for fault finding. You will never find faults without one. Some people have messaged me telling me that they are able to solder without them.. I dont think they'd see a tiny solder bridge without one. |

Terrible Fire Accelerators
If someone sends me a list I’ll update the TF530s readme.md
It would be good if people started updating the wiki on the 530 site the same as the 328... its been v successful there Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

It's a great piece of hardware, indeed, and if You consider to build this card - You should be prepared to spend some time watching Terrible Fire Youtube channel - that's the best place to get all info You need..Or You will be just like me - with a lot of wong parts lying around here Quote:
https://www.ebay.de/itm/Xilinx-Platf...-/192291557664 the idea behind it - if You need to purchase one - it can be Pi, as it is more usefull than one purpose programmer for programming only. Oh my dear..it's not hex, its jed file.. Yes, you should think twice at this point, do You have all tools and skills to do it, or You need to invest some cash in it. What is Your mission? To get this particular accelerator or You like to learn something new? Do You have enough time and patience to learn? I had no knowledge about cpld, smd soldering or whatever before, but i was not in doublt, i really wanted to learn that, and Steve gave me that fuel, he showed that it is possibe, and now it's my hobby, my passion, my way to relax. I don't stop here, i will build also TF534, MSX Carnivore 2 (Altera Cyclone II) and some other interesting projects. Cause it's fun, it's interesting, and i know - i can! Coming home after a hard working day, switch on vocal or deep trance music, turn on my soldering station and just enjoy.. And if i get notification that Steve is online, i throw all away, and watch Youtube, that's true! Quote:
the most important - is to correct FPU's - 68881 are not used. Xilinx cplds need to be 10ns - this info is missing (have purchased 24x 7ns) Oscillators - same frequency as CPU used (or slight above, if overclocking is planned) R1, R2, R3 - still have no correct info Last edited by 8 Bit Dreams; 21 October 2017 at 21:17. |

I konw about 5 people who wait TF534S. Major reason is that it is much more compatiable with other hardware than TF530. TF534S should work with CDTV, at least majority or accelerators wich don't use Zorro II address space works with CDTV. Same with most of Zorro II cards. |
