Today marks the first time in history that a human has managed to wrestle a tent back into the bag they sell them in. Rainy day garage projects…
This might be my favorite thrift store find to date. And it’s fully working. We will add all the things.
No one is ever going to accuse me of being good at surface mount soldering. But they are at least on and it works :) #commodore
My all time favorite book is $1 at the thrift store. Never mind I already own like 7 copies…
I’m still SUPER tempted to use VGA instead of composite for the VIC-20 VIC replacement. Much of this is known but in multiple places. Probably will make a dedicated page for all of the calculations I do for myself. If others can use it, then cool. #commodore
Replaced the 65c02s adapter on the Vicky Twenty with @shieladixon’s board of who was very kind to send me a couple from the UK with a nice note and postcard. Not using a transceiver seems to be working fine on this board and definitely takes up less space. #commodore
Fixing a friend’s VIC-20 and I hastily assembled a character ROM adapter. I then spent an embarrassing number of Mississippi’s wondering why it didn’t work. Details Michael, details. #commodore
Good grief, these are still waaayyy too long. I’m gonna have to break down and buy an IDC cable connector crimper. Until then, let’s get the VIC-20 memory map more organized in my Verilog shall we? #commodore
Back on the VIC chip FPGA replacement this evening after a needed break. Having to level shift both directions between the VIC-20(5V) and the FPGA(3.3V) is a recipe for a crazy breadboard mess. Working on tidying it up. Looking better already.#vicsrevenge #commodore
