@mytek I confirm, swapping ICs to TI ones as in boom fixed the problem, I see now 16GB Sandisk cards that were not visible before. Thankx, will share this on atari.org.pl forum in 1088XEL in topic. Thanx to @madness77 - got ICs from him without waiting for delivery from Mouser etc.
So I can enjoy fully my 1088XEL while printing the rest of case for it. Thank you folks for help!

Did anyone manage to create and print a 3D case for the 1088XEL?
I have done and I'm during the printing, I have adapted mITX case and done top & sides cover, as I love that board fits on the metal base.

it was like there was option (PBI enable/disable) and let's say after switching to disable and after hitting S there was msg "saved to profile 1" then I did reboot by pressing B, then back in BIOS option is was like not saved - still enable (because it was enable and saved before I started to change it.
Not sure if it was temporary situation, or it's situation just after power up first time (when you connect PSU and turn computer on). I will try to replicate and repeat the situations but if it won't appear I will be more then happy

Are you using all 74F series chips?
got it already build, but looks like all chips are 74F.

The ones in the top two rows all work without issues, and can be hot plugged and then refreshed, coming right back up.
Same two of the Sandisk cards are in my hands. 4GB Sandisk I have in ACA500plus so I will take it out of it to try. But I have like four 16GB Ultra 30MB/s like the one in 2nd row and they are not working at all. How you format/partition them? I'm on MacOS, but I have spare PC laptop with Windows 7 Ultimate around.

thanks! I have found one possible bug - either in my board/component either in firmware. It deals with saving profile. It happened twice - first with saving setup for stock/turned off PBI/Sparta for use with regular Atari cartridges. I did profile and it was saved, but it was like not saved after reboot. I have to turn on option, save turn off, option save and - it worked.
My problem with not working SIO2SD was the same. I did with Perinoid and his SIO2SD walk thru options. SIO2SD was not working (apart two codes displayed so - like something made small step and stopped). Then we turned off PBI/SIO options, saved, turned on, saved and it started to work.
I thought I was doing something wrong so I made two steps from the computer and Perinoid did the same as I did day before, I even made screens of every BIOS page/screen to archive all options.
Is it possible that something is not fully ok with the saving options? Just asking, as it happened twice and with two different things and BIOS menu/pages that were affected. I will try to replicate the steps with video recording, but I need to record both screen and SIO2SD unit. -
these are the types I have and they work in Incognito, SIDE2, as Amiga HDD etc. but Fdisk and my CF3 are not working with them
-
for me it's fine as it is. I donot know where the problem was, maybe I was to dizzy with whole thing as - CF cards were not working properly, SIO2PC was working, SIO2SD not working, floppy drives working, then carts not working. It was pretty strange for someone already using Ultimate 1MB and SIDE2 and Incognito - all with FJC firmware so looking very similiar. Never had such problems with simple startup or the startup was more complicated then my knowledge and experience with whole thing. Both more then possible
THanks again.
BTW adding 2nd Pokey is my next step - apart fitting IC into socket anything elso to do, or I missed something? -

Heh... there is no 'of course' in these matters.
So: the fact '8K Cart ROMs' is enabled implies the PBI BIOS is turned on (unless the setting is simply greyed out). Have you tried turning the PBI BIOS off just in case the cart doesn't like it for some reason (I have no idea why; PBI BIOS doesn't touch the CCTL area on this platform, but perhaps the game objects to PBI handlers somehow).
this is pretty strange - I works now. At the beginning I turned on and off both Sparta and PBI, resaved profile and it works. I have screenshots of whole profile done two hours ago and it's the same. So PBI was turned off and now is also tuned off. So this is my "almost pure stock" profile to go back
Thanks for your questions, forced me to to recheck, maybe I messed with profiles, not saved something and after reboot

one found down - Blue Max is not working
blank screen after boot (after 1088XEL logo and progress bar). The cart works in my other Atari comps.

Do you have '8K Cart ROM' enabled in the BIOS?
yes, of course. But I have figured out the problem with carts finally - the cart slot is a bit loose I think. SIDE2 works flawlessy, but I have to move a little cart with RiverRaid before powering up 1088XEL to make it working.
And I did screen snapshot of whole profile I have now to make possible to go back if anything

guys, is anyone made list of cards working with CF3 in 1088xel? I'm a bit frustrated as only one card from my CFs works (PQI 256MB 40x). None of my Ultra series Sandisk cards (16/4/2GB 30MB/s), none of Kingstons. Some of them shows as unit in BIOS, but nothing on them (FAT16 formatted cards). None that works in my A800 Incognito, none that works in my SIDE2. Latest FJC firmware. I thought Incognito is card sensitive...
-
my actual status with 1088XEL is:
- CF3 works only with one CF card I have (PQI 256MB) none of my 16GB, 4GB, 2GB Sandisk Ultra works. None of my Kingston 512MB 1GB works. A bit frustrating but I have ordered a few PQI 512MB cards so will dig in it more. Checked with four IDE2CF units. directly or on lead. It's not they are not visible in BIOS as unit, two of them showed in loader but choosing anything hangs after boot. But one setup works so keep thinking it's card depending situation.- my SIO2SD is not working with 1088XEL. It's not Lotharek made one, will test my board with Lotharek SIO2SD to definately judge where is problem. my all external SIO drives 1050, CA2001 and XF551 clone works.
- SIDE2 works as inserted cart, but none cart from my collection works (and this is strange one). I have like 30 carts, from XL series until last XE like KARATEKA, BLUE MAX etc.
- XC12 tape recorded works
all latest firmware etc. I went thru several setups in BIOS, comparing side to side with my A800 Incognito and honestly got lost. All seems to work (I cannot say it's not working at all) but in details - I cannot say all works. -

Tinkercad will import SVG but only shapes, if you have lines with stroke weight you need to expand the stroke before export. Also you will need to import each layer separately so you can rebuild the vector in 3D
I work around this by importing shape into Adobe Illustrator then exporting .svg to TinkerCAD but as said above - only shapes/strokes not 3d objects, but it's easy to give them depth in TinkerCAD if they are suppose to be flat like ie panels for enclosure.

It should be. I'm moving to InDesign 2020 and updating, I'll gen a .mobi if I can and let you know.
great, thank you! If anything I can help, drop me note.

Anyone in Europe who will build me 1088XEL?
Zaxon / Piotr Bugaj did a few including one I have.

Just out of curiosity, has anyone tried those on a 1088 build yet?
I suppose me
BTW. is it possible to generate also .mobi format for the manual? I did convert the .epub to .mobi but maybe it's easier to generate both format once exported from source doc. -
Richard, PMed you now, sorry - missed the replies here in topic.

OK, I'm currently taking orders for the carts.
If I get enough, I will start making them again.
interested, put me on the list, pls.

it's around 400g of filament of pure elements including the back but it's due to that I have printed it 100% infill. Elements are 4mm wide (I mean skeleton width).
As for the cartridge slot - still thinking. I may redesign the left part of the Fuji to be removable and to uncover card slot as... I have joystick ports on the back and dual CF slot. I fitted cart tunnel in desing, but I wont fit them all as I wanted so I need to get rid of something.
Actually cart slot is not that needed for me - I have a least two computers with set like Ultimate-VBXE-SIDE2 and A800 with Incognito/Supercard so apart CF3 they are more less similiar in possibilities with 1088XEL. And the case is reversed U so you can remove it, below is mITX frame.
