I like what you do, we all. Thanks for that

Edit: Well, we will stick a nice Post-it on Screen to remember that if we have an FPU

Realistically the 040 board wont be all that practical on the A500. It should be fun for people wanting to understand the 040 bus a bit better.

Something I havent got time to do at the moment is figure out why my 020 board is unhappy playing along with the Kipper2K A508 board. I assume its something to do with the DTACK

I only watched near the end of it. But I enjoyed it and thanks for answering my questions.

It's motivated me to get off my but and do something Amiga.
Just put my A508 in the A1500 and proceeding to install workbench as I type and then I will setup my PPS 2000/040.

I enjoyed it! I watched the first half on my mobile on a noisy Tram (volume was a bit low). Would love to try something like this but I'm not sure my soldering skills are up to it.

A microscope makes all the difference. Get a stereoscopic one.

Yes i have that document. And a disassembled copy of scsi.device.

The card will ultimately behave like the A600 hard disk.

Hi,

How do you handle the fact the 68000 has nLDS and nUDS and the 68020 only has a nDS signal?
The A608/A508 uses the nLDS/nUDS signals but does not use DTACK!

The IDE68K design also has the same issue with nLDS/nUDS but that does use nDTACK. The A1200 has a different GAYLE chip to that in the A600, which as described in the document Keith linked to.

I generate UDS and LDS. I generate all the missing 68k signals. In UDS and LDS they are generated from Size and A0/A1. I have a regression rom for these signals too

I wouldn't expect the A508 to use or send a DTACK as the Amiga motherboard would do that. The ram does not accept reads of bytes or words after being configured. Clearly my issue but not an easy one to diagnose.

I fully grok the Gayle document already. But it is full of mistakes (or is out of date depending on how you want to look at it) too.
