Denial

I will keep pictures and information coming as long as there is any interest, and time permits. There is also a add-on project called GCart 8k Internal. Also a remake from the 80's. However beefed up with new technology and features (16 color ram banks inspired by the VFLI graphics http://sleepingel...

Kananga: Thanks for the feedback.

Joshuadenmark: Lets see how it turns out when it is somewhat more finished. However, I am all for it if the interest is there.

The board is all routed and I am just putting the finishing touches on it.

... then there is software ...

Maybe a stupid question, but in the screen editor, how do I get the screen codes 128-255. I.e normally the inverted ones?

Super with the screen editor!! A few quick remarks ... The small things ... # Copy, Cut, Paste - Would be great if I could use Ctrl-X,C,V also. # When clikcing on the cells with Text option, great if the focus was on in the text dialog popping up. That way you could start typing directly. # If you s...

Almost there with the hardware ...

6 more nets to be routed. So perhaps prototypes can be ordered next week.

Thanks! I am a bit rusty regarding the VIC Kernel and how multi part games actually work, so I do not really understand "no drive emulation". My thought was that you would mount a URI towards a drive 8,9, whatever. Or a TAP towards 1. Then Open, input#, print#, load, save, verify etc would...

Hi, During my introduction (http://sleepingelephant.com/ipw-web/bulletin/bb/viewtopic.php?t=497&start=315) I mention my newfound interrest in the VIC-20 together with my son, and ideas on a hardware project. Don't really know where this will land but feedback is always welcome. Anyway it has bee...

Thanks!

Seems reasonable. It is a bit strange that the userport is specified, but not the cartridgeport.

Hmm ... then my project is almost on the safe side.

Hi,

Anybody how knows how much current the cartridge port can deliver? I have not seen any data on that, and given that there are atleast 2 different PSU available.

On the userport I have seen a statement on 100mA max.

While on the subject. Is it possible to enable tapatalk on the site? Most other forums I visit native in iPhone, iPad, Android, etc, with tapatalk.

As I understand it it works with most boards, and it is "only" to enable.

Hard to see from the picture, because of the resolution. I suppose that you will get a BoM (Bill of Materials) with the bare board. In any way, a starting point ... The resistors are pull down / pull up and typically in the range 10k ohm - 100k ohm. The "diodes" are actually capacitors for...

Hi, Thomas! Welcome to Denial! :) Thanks. How about 2 MB RAM? That would give 256 8K blocks. Nice would be the ability to assign each of the 256 blocks freely to BLK1..3 and BLK5 (accessible through four 8-bit registers). It would be a nice number with 8 bit. Actually it comes down to the fact that...

Well here goes ... My Nick is easy. TLovskog obviously comes from Thomas Lövskog. My first computer was actually a PET 2001 which was borrowed. It had twin disk and a monochrome monitor ... of course. The first computer I bought was a VIC 20 in 82 or maybe 83. I remember I paid 2300kr (around 240 EU...
