Hi! Is the SidecarTridge compatible with accelerated Ataris? Thinking not only of PAK accelerator but also Exxos's booster and co.
When do you expect it to be available for the Mega ST?

[@logronoide]

It has yet to be tested. I have the Exxos booster, but I must install and test it. But it works in a stock MegaSTE at 16Mhz and Cache on, so it is a question of time it will be available (maybe an upgraded firmware with fine tuning?) for modded and accelerated computers.
The MegaST carrier board had a manufacturing issue; I hope it will be available by the end of the week.

The is on the STE motherboard near the 2 originals ROM 2 kind of ""resistor W102 and W104 . Should they be desoldered ?

[@logronoide]

Hi Luc. AFAIK you don’t need to modify any jumper/resistor if you have an original 28 pins ROM (the original setup). So no, no desoldering by default.
