FDD+IDE controller and Universal Flash ROM cartridge projects + future Multi-soundcard cartridge

Thanks!

I would not recommend to use a hot air soldering station to mount Altera chips. The Altera MAX, EEPROM and FDC controller chips can be easily mounted to the FDD/IDE controller's board with a normal soldering iron. Soldering Altera FLEX to Carnivore SCC cartridge's board with a soldering iron is quite tricky and requires good skills and soldering paste. But it's doable, I did it twice myself.

Please note that I am not selling any DIY kits, cases or ready-made cartridges. I only have 2 FDD/IDE controller boards left. If you would like to make a batch of boards for yourself, I can share Gerber files and firmware/ROM images for non-commercial use. Please contact me if interested.

Good news! We have our Carnivore2 cartridge in the debugging stage. The RAM, mapper, FlashROM, IDE (CF Card) work well, the FMPAC with English BIOS is working, SCC and OPLL music plays quite well. I will create a separate topic for this device once we finish the testing.

Main menu, help screen and a short video of the cartridge's interface.

Unfortunately the camera is sucky - in reality the color transition is much smoother.

Yes, FlashROM + RAM + IDE + FMPAC + SCC. All in one. Can be used separately or in any combination. Just a few final touches and we will release the sources. Some boards are available for sale.

is there a rom present for fm basic, I did not read the entire discussion (to much) so maybe it's answered already
If there is I'am interested
