is good.

there is a lot of interest, so the delivery time is longer. so much patience ....


cpc464 users.
the Ram hack from Toto is built-in. the MREQ signal is pullup.

the hardware is prepared for Rich's, however it is not yet certain that this fits into the cpld.

does anyone have a SymPlay VID file for me?

There is an exemple (matrix) in the Symbos package ; I have also attached it to this message.

hi, just an idea, and it might be a bad one... rather than make the board really large as a single board, would it be viable to make it two boards, one board basically a small motherx4 adapter with a cable of some type (not sure which is best), and the other with all the electronics so that it can sit flat on the table?

[TMTLOGIC]

I do not fully understand you.
do you mean an amsdap or motherX4 board where the sf3 is not straight up but lies flat on the table?

[Sebastian Blanco]

want one.

I believe it is so tall because Amsdap only allows very narrow slots... it could have been wider I guess, but would not fit into Amsdap then... (just speculating, don't have an Amsdap)


As for the idea... I guess it's a bad one (sorry for that), people just want to plug it into Mother4X or whatever backplane they have.


And even if it was a good idea, the creators are not going to change the design anyhow (tried to get an edge connector into Amsdap, but to no avail    )

The advantage of a single card is that one just needs one cable connect it. For me it's fine like it is. And probably it's a bit too late to talk about the physical size.

Right, it is already in production AFAIK 


As for "rapid design & layout changes" - if you route everything by hand, then this is difficult indeed. If you use auto routing / layout for the most part, changing a design / physical format might not be that difficult / time consuming at all   


(Upps, not that can of worms again...    )


Regardless, I am looking forward to getting one.

so all hardware spec & features are known ?

Yes, it's defined. And it can be expanded regarding the firmware.

Yesterday I tested some USB mice, they work very well and are actually hot plug and play. Great!

I wonder then as a separate project that might benefit such large cards... is a mx4 extension 'cable', plug one end in the board, then put the large board anywhere you like... the reason for this, at least I have it, however much mx4 boards are less wobbly than too many extensions at the back, they still can crash the computer if they wobble too much, and having large cables sticking out (the graphics card with VGA cable comes to my mind), it is a bit of a worry.  I haven't seen the Symbiface 3 in person obviously, but I still have my Symbiface 2 - and if that is anything to go by, it is a very large card - an awesome card though especially for the time it came out.

April 1st... so good news: The USB mouse of the SF3 is now fully supported by FutureOS. The wheel can be used to browse DIRectories up and down. Also the JavaCPC emulator does already support the mouse part (and the echo part of the SF3, to check if it is present).    It's a great piece of hardware and fun to code for it.

Would be great to finally being able to use FOS with a mouse. Looking forward to Symbiface III.

Yes, you can use the SF2, SF3 mouses now. Here the current WIP... only in German. Any comments are welcome.    (Use CPC version, Plus version is older).

[TMTLOGIC]

Hey,
I am still alive 


Status of the SF3:


First batch is at Prodatron.
I hope this is delivered soon.


A standard firmware has been uploaded in this batch.
new versions of the sf3 firmware can be found at www.tmtlogic.com> support> SF3 >> CPC linked to google drive




Added is:


- Web radio


- Enterprise version:
there is an adapter made by Gflorez. the SF3 / CPC can now also be used on the Enterprise computer


- We are also working on the PCW version


- and later the MSX version


I'm working on the
- extend WiFi functions
- SEONE mp3 player mode MP3B, REG




I spend +/- 4 hours a day on the SF3, which is what they call Hobby ...
