Sponsorship from PCBWay
08/31/2022 at 20:12 • 0 commentsI have been designing several PCBs for the Baffa-2 Homebrew Microcomputer project and I have received great support from PCBWay to continue advancing these projects with 8-bit computer compatible modules.
In March, I had thought about taking a break from the project and that's when I was offered PCBWay support for my project. I couldn't even imagine the possibility of getting such support, even knowing that PCBWay sponsors and supports many projects in the Retro community. The Baffa-2 was still a small project and this support made it possible to speed up the production of several boards that I had already designed but that I could not imagine when I would be able to test them.
A few days ago, I received the latest set of PCBs under PCBWay's sponsorship. They helped me to finalize what I had designed for the Baffa-6502/Baffatari - Apple-1 compatible computer that is capable of running Atari 2600 games. I am very happy to be able to present this project results and I would not have been able to finish it without the sponsorship of PCBWay.
Thanks PCBWay for your support https://www.pcbway.com/
PCBs in the box... what are they?
The production and delivery of the boards was very fast.

Loading Games from Cartridge or SDCard
07/10/2022 at 12:33 • 0 commentsFor now, I can load games only by listing (hex code) via terminal, but I've designed two ways to load games on my apple-1 replica/baffatari.
If you have an Unocart or old cartridges, you can use the backplane's peripheral port to attach a cartridge expansion. This allows you to run games directly from the cartridge.
But, there is the option to load the games via SDCARD... The SDCard board is based on P-LAB's "Apple-1 microSD storage card".
Both boards will be available soon... Can't wait to post videos showing them working :)
