"Sputnik" shall be the networking part, I guess?
@DarrenHD: Have you been "HammerD" on IRC back in the 90ies? |

The networking part is not detachable, I was referring to the whole combo board. Otherwise it could be named 'Soyuz-Apollo' Last edited by TCD; 17 March 2014 at 23:33. Reason: Back-to-back posts merged |

(Great tutorial BTW, as far as I can tell. Only was able to struggle through it till that serial number part, then rushed for the docs. Switching between a1k.org and Google Translate can be rather annoying ) |

It was a nightmare until I found out that google translate performs much better transforming French->English than French->German. Nice to hear the tutorial helped you to get started a bit. Please tell me about final names, IDs and prototype serials. |

Two more boards are ready, waiting for test and some cleaning. (Third one is my own devboard, thrown in to make the shot more dramatic).

Boards tested OK, anyone interested in testing/development/debugging just let me know. (You'd better have a USB Blaster )
Will put them on AmiBay next week. |

Does it require DMA and Buster? I could test it on Micronik Z-3i on A1200.

- A3000 and A4000: the only card in the system (Busters 7 and 9) - A3000: with Buddha (Buster-11) - A3000: with Buddha and DENEB in DMA mode (Buster-11) The card only supports Zorro III bus. From what I have read about Micronic, its Zorro III mode is rather picky? |

There are lot of things that can be improved in FPGA firmware. So if you are willing to do a bit of HDL hacking, or to just try another FPGA firmware, you're welcome to, but you're not obliged to do this. Same for the device driver. It is, um, usable, but quite far from being perfect. It'd probably help the project to evolve if the user could help himself to some HDL or C programming if they want to; but it is perfectly OK otherwise. That's why 'power users' would be more preferrable |

Hi @tnt23
Great work! I see, you're trying to sell first batch on Amibay. I'm definitely interested, but first have few questions related: - what about Zorro 2 and Kick 2.0 + Roadshow network stack? Will it gonna work? - i know, someone asked already about it, but what about USB? There is a full documentation for Thylacine USB 1.1 card, which you could use - contact with @genny_flick from Amibay - he did (afair) more than 50 such cards, based on provided docs and sells it from time to time. It would be great to have all this on one card If you plan it, would be also really great to add a support for ANAIIS stack... yep, again Kick 2.0 - i'm in love with my standard A2000 and it's just only my suggestion Last edited by arti040; 15 April 2014 at 12:44. |

For the Roadshow TCPIP stack, I have bought a copy of it with device driver development in mind, and it works with my setup just fine. Will look Kick 2.0 up. Quote:

Yes, I've put two cards for sale on AmiBay. Depending on the demand (and first users feedback), I'd arrange another microbatch. Last edited by TCD; 15 April 2014 at 13:41. Reason: Back-to-back posts merged |

An affordable Zorro III memory expansion with ethernet AND usb on it?
My A4000 would KILL (if it had any arms) for one of these I mean, paying a bit more than the price of a "simple" Thylacine for ALL this stuff? Count me in! Compare that to a Thylacine that goes for ~100 and you understand that its pricing is a total theft for what it does Anyway, add me in the "first-guys-to-buy-the-usb-version" list around the first place I'm itching to have one |

Hi! What's the status of this project? Did you abandon it? (I hope, you didn't)
