Kevin Williams 31 Posted June 10 Hi again! I've been working for quite awhile to get the new layout complete, and I think we are just about ready to run the second prototype! There are quite a number of changes to this board over the previous version, so I do expect a few, ahem, challenges perhaps? That said, a lot of time has been spent testing on breadboards and optimizing so I think we should be close to the final specs on this system. As mentioned, there are code breaking changes with the system. I will post more for the devs out there in a post below. The VERA has also changed quite a bit. Namely, it now has 32 registers, but I'll let @Frank van den Hoef talk more about that when he is ready to post some updates. Also, I made two proto boards to test the bus and get the alignment right for the final design. Progress is being made, thanks for everyone's patience and have a great day! 11 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Exabyte 3 Posted June 10 Dude this is thrilling to see! I saw your post on Facebook first and figured I'd poke over here a bit. I did want to know if those prototyping boards were going to be shipped with the system as a bundle or sold separately. If it was considered to be bundled with it, would it just be the S boards? Also, what would the prices be if you decided to sell them? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

In future we'll try to only make announcement posts here, then paste the link into FB (which will generate a preview of the post anyway). The website will be the go-to #1 source. 5 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
troj 18 Posted June 11 This picture gets me very excited! It's coming together. And I hope the boards really are a fun color, other than green! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Juju 62 Posted June 12 Y'all know PCB stands for Potentially Could Be Blue. Or is it? PCBWAAAAAAYYYYYY Sorry, had to do it. In any case, it looks pretty cool 4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
snake 4 Posted June 24 Does the board pose any obstacles to adding a Z80 card? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TomXP411 32 Posted July 1 @Kevin Williams I'm having a hard time finding User Port info on the FB group. I recall you had planned to make it Centronics compatible. Could you refresh my memory here about the User port pinout? I'm trying to figure out how many pins we'll have available for GPIO. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim Drew 0 Posted Saturday at 08:30 PM Which of these sockets has the 6502 in it? I would like to make sure my accelerator will plug into it before going to production. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
