exxosuk Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 Pre-orders for the V2.2 booster are being taken and will end the end of feb (2016). pre-order price is £65 and can be purchased from my store. http://www.exxoshost.co.uk/atari/last/store.htm The V2.2 booster is a "all in one" solution for 16mhz CPU and 16mhz access to ROM. The ROM holds TOS1.04 and TOS2.06 and is selectable by a simple jumper link on the board. A switch can also be fitted to toggle between 8mhz and 16mhz. I am currently building 5 of theres were 2 are already spoken for. Speeds are shown with the V2.2 booster running at 16mhz with blitter enabled. For fitting and more info see my V2 page here http://www.exxoshost.co.uk/atari/last/V22BOOSTER/ 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

exxosuk Posted February 3, 2016 Author Share Posted February 3, 2016 There will be a STE booster, but it will be a 020 based design. As to when/if it will be available I have no idea. I did hack in my V1.5 booster in the STE, but its to much faffing about. It needs a proper PCB. Even so, with a better booster in development , I'm not sure its even worth doing a "simple" 68000 booster for the STE. Insistently theres a poll over at atar-forum. http://www.atari-forum.com/viewtopic.php?f=15&t=28976 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+DarkLord Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 Looking good there Chris. If I remember correctly, those benchmarks are right in line with the overall scores that the T-25's gave, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exxosuk Posted February 6, 2016 Author Share Posted February 6, 2016 Looking good there Chris. If I remember correctly, those benchmarks are right in line with the overall scores that the T-25's gave, right? Not exactly, the T25 is of course 25mhz vs 16mhz on my board. Though the blitter gives it a turbo charge which could bring it in line with the T25. I am working on 32mhz and higher speeds currently. So 32mhz with blitter is awesome. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
