Will a 68000 socketed Clockport adapter still work with a TF536 plugged into the socket?

[Jameson]

.... pretty much the whole question is in the title. To be clear, in my previous experience a lot of expansions that go into the 68000 socket of an A500 or A2000 motherboard are totally disabled when an accelerator card is plugged into the A500 side expansion or the A2000 CPU slot.

Is this still the case when an accelerator board is plugged into the actual 68000 socket on top of a clockport adapter board? Anyone have any experience of this? I would like to add a clockport adapter to this A500+ project, but obviously there is little point if the TF536 will disable it anyway.

Ive used my clock port adapter in the Cpu socket...And a PiStorm fitted to a Standard Lazarus relocator on the side expansion connector....the reason for that was there was little room for a clockport cable and the Pistorm adapter.....Im 80% sure I tried to use it with my TF536 and had the same issue.

I'm hoping this works, as I have the TF536 and acquired a clockport adapter a while back, which I intend to use in the same way...

Well, I'll cross my fingers for you, you do the same for me.

.....I don't suppose you also have an Indivision ECS in there? I am also trying to work out if the TF536 will fit in an A500 case with an Indivision ECS....

I have tried this in my A500Plus lately. I have a clockport adapter and i have tried to install it with some accelerators including a TF536 and a Vampire 500 V2.
Problem is the need for the relocation of the accelerator due to the conflict with the keyboard to close the case, hence i was forced to build a big sandwich with cpu risers and a relocator, and the more slices in the sandwich the less it works due to power issues. On my setup, i had to use a better relocator with 4 layers including power planes and use the CA-PSU from IComp. This whole sandwhich had to be high enough to get over the RPI adapter on Denise (not sure if the IndiECS would be lower, i am using it in the A600 only).

Regarding the clockport, i have not gone to the point of actually using it because it also need to by connected to a pin on Gary or a CIA for INT2 or 6 signal (can't remember which one) and i couldn't make it at this time, but then the IDE of the TF536 was not working, possibly because of INT signal problems, unless i have damaged the card somehow.

Now, i have abandoned this annoying sandwich problem and i'm going to rebuild a simpler A500 Plus based on 68000 or 68010 like in the old time. I might still use the clockport adapter and have a Subway USB with the Anais stack.

Hi,
I've tried it just today - TF536 + Clockport is working perfectly. And that's correct - INT6 Signal is needed..

Here You can see USB Stick and LAN Dongle are connected and working well

Thats great DjCook! Any chance of a photo of the motherboard showing how it all sits/fits? Also..... probably a long shot, but don't suppose you have an Indivision ECS in there as well? Trying to figure out if the TF536 will fit in an A500 case with the Indy Mk 2.
