I see they are still available for the A600:

...but the A500 version seems to be out of stock.

I needed to add a couple layers of electrical tape insulates against short circuits. If I remember correctly, I have the V600 - which I will double check when I reinstall my TF536 this week.

I can boot up with Kickstart 1.3, 3.1, 3.X and the Diagnostic ROM. I'm hoping to add 3.2.1 to the list, once I purchase a copy.

Once I receive my TF536 back from Alen the fun begins, with setting up the hard drive to handle booting from multiple different kickstarts.

I did have a couple of questions regarding the ROMulator...

1. Are there firmware updates available? Are they easy to flash?

2. Can you specify a custom MOD file to play at the menu?

3. I noticed that sometimes that the system boots with a different KS than the one I selected... usually when I scroll through the menu and hit ENTER quickly. Is this a known issue?

Thanks again for a great piece of hardware!

Hey, I am on the same boat, thinking of ordering a Rumulator + TF 536 for my A500Rev8A1. However, I am not sure whether it will fit nicely and/or whether they are compatible to each other (though I don't find any reason not to). So, have tested this combo? Do you have any photo and comments to share?

I think you need to put another socket on the kickstart for Romulator to get a bit taller then you shouldn't have a problem.
( Same as Elbox did for FastATA and Indivision AGA back in the days :P )

I've since moved to a PiStorm, but if I remember correctly I needed to put an extra socket beneath the CPU relocator board to raise up the TF-536.

I had the v600 Romulator, so it may be different with a v500.

romulator not loading

I've got the romulator board on an Amiga 500++ and all I get are LED1 and LED2 lit up solid blue, no menu (black screen) and no music. Boots fine with original 1.3 rom. KB reset line verified to be working and rev 3/5 jumper is off. This is one of the first batch AOTL got. 8gb SD card formatted fat32. :banghead

config file:
default=
delay=5
update_default=true
play_music=true
