Progress updates
9 hours ago • 0 commentsCurrently it has working, audio and serial and parallel ports. It has a monitor ROM so I can do basic tests and more importantly transfer test programs without having to burn the EEPROM all the time. I have since learnt about the OneROM project on GitHub would have used that if I knew earlier. Oh well I now have some ready for the next project.
Also in this picture is a real Excalibur 64 keyboard kindly donated by an owner of a couple of machines and had and extra keyboard.
Next step is getting the video going. This is going to be the hardest bit, so have split the video into the processing side which includes the 6845 CRTC, SRAM and other bits to process the colour and dot data. A second board will take this data and serialise it for RGB ( I think its a form of EGA ? ), composite video and maybe even RF. Probably steal a RF modulator from a old C64 board for that.
