Re: SCSI?

The Thor had a SCSI interface, which the circuit schematics are downloadable.

I wonder if the CST interface for the QL is same as the Thor interface...

Re: PiStorm

Hi,

Probably, it is possible to connect a Raspberry Pi or PiStorm to the Tetroid Gold Card. But since due the issues of export from Russia, there may not be any Tetroid Gold Cards for a long time.

Maybe a more interesting idea would be to adapt the PiStorm to the QL CPU socket.

Re: PiStorm

Hi,

I checked my Tetroid Gold Card, which does have a 68000 in a PLCC socket.

So maybe this could be done,if the FPGA code for the PiStorm could be modified for the QL.

Re: Q68 I2C Driver

Hi,

Looks great, excellent software, as usual from Martin.

I was going to assemble similar boards as Prof mentioned to emulate TF Services I2C interfaces.

Re: PiStorm

Hi,

How are you going to connect the DIP64 to the QL DIP48 CPU socket?

The CPU in the Gold Card is a PLCC Gull Wing Chip soldered to the PCB, a PLCC socket would be hard fit onto the CPU.

The PIStorm FPGA code would have to rewritten to suit the QL. Looks a hard job.

Re: Today I Received...

Hi, There little movement to make the Pistorm rum on the Atar ST, which has the same CPU as the Amiga A500. There is another Pi accelerator called the Phantom-X for the X68000, which a link to the Atari Forum details this: https://www.exxoshost.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?t=5257 There is a link to the...
