yes,

instead of external keyboard plus mouse you can use Eiffel interface with USB

Well said @stormy
68080 with Atari hardware registers map would be cool

I see keypad port on the right side, and it seems this is a port for mouse:

---EDIT---
it is a regular Mega ST/TT keyboard port:

Following on from my post of 2017 ... I've now uploaded the CHANGES.TXT file to the DOC folder of the Diamond Edge source code repository. It's really mostly of historical interest - who really cares about bugs in someone else's software that I fixed 20 years ago - but I did promise, so here it is....

Uwe writes about it here: https://www.hddriver.net/en/piscsi_icd.html

I see there info about Mega STE ACSI to SCSI adapter. And I mean Pi connected directly to ACSI bus.

I wonder if would be possible to adopt PiSCSI to ACSI port.

any chance for CHANGES.TXT file ?

I can give write access to some trusted people (e.g. made many posts on this forum), who want to contribute or administrate that mirror. I would like to contribute and move some changes from http://atariki.krap.pl/index.php/Mapa_pami%C4%99ci_Atari_16/32bit to https://temlib.org/AtariForumWiki/index...

great and thanks tOri

great news

There you can find updated by me Atari ST/STe/MSTe/TT/F030 Hardware Register list

Cyprian says soldering a 144 pin QFP package (MCU/Glue) is as simple as a 16 pin DIP package - I thoroughly disagree! I could not disagree more. How much emphasis can I put on that? lol :D I didn't say anything like that. Read my comment again carefully. Also you're both misunderstanding what the H...

Short update: the program now runs on the Falcon 030 as well. In fact the code was running already on the Falcon but it was impossible to start and it "waits" infinitely for something. The game did not crash at all so it was not easy to find the reason just by comparing the lenghty trace ...

It's a very good project and kudos to Exxos for seeing the development through. I own a mainboard but just haven't had time to build it up. As with all things, time is in short supply. It would be nice to see an STE version though. I keep seeing people ask for an STE version though, why do you thin...

it sounds nice

btw those icons on the desktop looks cool.

For some strange reason there is little to no talk of the following project - the H5 Phoenix motherboard (Atari ST Remake Project) by Exxos. great project, I observe it on Exxos forum. I would die for a motherboard which has short ST form factor. Also project reworking STe board would be cool. I'm ...

Ok, thanks

good question, I have no idea

Also the 68020+ are frighteningly big compared to the 68000. Took me a couple of years to fully vectorize and cleanup the 68000 schematic and the 020 has roughly five times more transistors. So even if we had high-resolution delayered die shots (we don't), it could take a little while. https://og.k...

Wouldn't it be possible to allow users with more that 20 posts to edit wiki?

great news @Anima

@Anima have you considered writing an article about porting these games to Atari?

AGT is the way to go if you want to use it as a library and highly recommended as a toolset for Atari STE development in general. Doug did a great job on that for sure. You can find another Blitter optimized drawing demo with sources here: https://www.atari-forum.com/viewtopic.php?t=41957 I wonder ...

Hello I may release soon a freeware (and unprotected) version of Digital Impact, a sample editor I released and sold in 1991 for Atari ST/STE/TT. Unfortunately, this software is fully in french. But if someone here wan't to test it, I will be happy to share a download link before the final release....

just for the record,
maybe someone will dare to recreate ATW800 and its transputer card:
