Re: My hardware project :: GCart 2011

I really have no specific plans. If the interest is there but only few I might manufacture PCBs. A bit more interest I might opt for selling mounted boards. Huge demands, fully assembled with plastics might be an option.
Once finished, to some degree, I have no problems getting it open source.

No rush with the release of your card, perhaps it will be retro even before releasing

Re: Push-pull pins on RIOT

The problem is not if many pins sink the output to "0". The problem is when one or more sink "0" and one or more source "1".

Using port A fixes that.

Re: Push-pull pins on RIOT

After a quick look they seem to be identical. Both 6522 and 6532 port 'B' are push/pull although 6522 in some cases only can source 1mA and 6532 seem to be able to source 3mA. Port 'A' has an open drain configuration with a pull-up on both chips. I checked the Rockwell 6522 data sheet which has nice...

Re: What's this

The wheels are for the screws in the D-Sub connector. There seams to be a BNC connector. Video or oscilloscope?

Re: Rebirth of the Behr-Bonz multicart... interested?

Yes. ENIG was never intended for that type of work with repeated inserts/removal. It is usable as contact for springs, dome keys and similar.

But still understandable it is used considering price.

Re: Purpose of the vrw pin on the expansion port

The CPU is never halted. The beauty with he 6502 is that It only needs to work on one of the phases ( phi2 is high ) of the clock. Sure it starts to set up the address and r/w in the first phase but it doesn't need to. The time is enough when the clock is high and data is read or written on falling ...
