Right. And if an adapter has separate SPI buses for each unit then the acquire/relinquish functions are basically NOPs. |

Of course, "simple" SPI drivers like my little design would do everything synchronously. Last edited by Mathesar; 21 November 2022 at 12:48. |

Yes, SPI communications can be very tricky, look for example here: https://github.com/Mathesar/a500-sim...i-sd/sd.c#L192. To properly make an SD card release the SPI bus and put MISO in high-impedance mode you have to give it 8 clocks AFTER de-asserting CS.... |

Is there a list to everything I need to build one of these?

Not at the moment, I haven't gotten around to adding a BOM. I can supply you a rev 1.1 PCB if you want. The patch to make it work is really simple.
Please note however that with rev 1.1 the shield does not fit well and if you stack it with the 14MHz accelerator the keyboard doesn't fit anymore. I really need to combine the designs together with some extra RAM.... What is MDO? |

The RF shield does not matter to me but with the 1.1 board and your 14MHz accel.. you can not close the case? I'm not so fan of external devices. I like to fit everything inside the A500 |

edit1: Now that I think about it, in hindsight, I could have made a "CPU relocator" style PCB. Then it would fit and could also be used with other accelerators. Can still be done though... :-) edit2: Added Bill of Materials Last edited by Mathesar; 21 November 2022 at 20:20. |

That would be great Mathesar I need this to fit with the 14MHz accel.. or it is not interesting to me. |

Right now I have Rgb2Hdmi and the 14MHz accelerator in my A500.
I been thinking about this 3d printed expansion port cover with a hole for HDMI connector. https://www.retro32.com/product/amig...le-access-hole I'm thinking it would be cool to fit a SD-card slot there too for this solution and even a ethernet port. |

https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4830638 Question: Since you have rgb2hdmi installed could you make a picture of your motherboard? Or maybe you have another picture and know whether a cpu relocator does not interfere with the rgb2hdmi converter? I am looking at making an 1.3 revision so that it will fit with an accelerator installed. Also, I encountered a small issue with rev 1.2 with the MOSI signal causing stability issues with some SD cards. I need to investigate that. It can be patched on rev 1.2 but one might want to wait for rev 1.3. Is anyone already building this? |

Hi Mathesar,
Here is a picture of my board with your 14MHz accel.. and RGB2HDMI. https://ibb.co/ygfRnjH Thanks for your work on this. I totally love the 14MHz accelerator. I also have 1MB chip. I have done the chip mod. I'm thinking it might be better to use micro-sd cards or is this simply a choise? That way we might save some space and it could fit on the expansion port cover if you choose to leave out the network adapter. |
