New yerar, new CPC board

[Joseman]

and what about integrating a motherx4 board like on pc's and the isa/pci expansions?

we can put all the hardware expansions ordered and is more atx friendly for who wants to put this board on a pc tower.

[Bryce]

I think he wants to confirm the CPC base core with this prototype first before adding additional stuff.

well I'll be buying one, it'll stop me cannibalising a working CPC 6128 for my tower CPC project. I have the rgb to VGA card and plans to incorporate an mother 4x or 2 so I can include all of TotO's boards and have some spare slots for an upcoming Ethernet card and rtc.

A tower CPC is just a CPC in a big clumsy box. Why not pack all that inside an original case?

There are ITX cases that are very little, original and different than a standard pc tower, i think that some itx cases will be very pretty if you put inside a cpc computer

because I want it on my KVM switch to use only one monitor and no desk space.

is the board going ahead and if so what will be the specs ?

would like to write an article for this and all info and specs much appreciated thanks

[Piotr]

Well.....specification is very flexible For now is :
464 without printer port, without tape recorder, without keyboard,64 kb ram, so nothing impressive ,  but this is today  Work in progress.......

Quick question about mouse. I found this PS2Mouse - CPCWiki  . So questions for authors, can i feel free to use this design in this board?

[MacDeath]

ask Bryce.

[Piotr]

Ok. Bryce can i use this?

[Bryce]

Certainly, it's all open source. If you need schematic, layout or firmware files let me know.

[Piotr]

Stage 1, assembled.

[radu14m]

looks great !!!!

[jrodriguezv]

Beautiful!!

[Joseman]

This is amazing!!

what is the size of the board at the moment?

[CraigsBar]

I certainly want one. But please offer a 6128 spec one. Floppy controller and 128k would seen essential.

[radu14m]

One with cpc6128 specs would be great

[Piotr]

Well , working 

[radu14m]

it's working !!!! Great work ! 

[CPC_Fan]

Good work there Piotr 

[Gryzor]

Oh wow, this rocks!!!

[Gryzor]

Well , working 

Amstrad CPC clone, under tests. - YouTube

Awww greetz to our wiki =)

[Joseman]

Three words: impressive, amazing, astonishing


@Piotr how can you make sure that the board is 100% bug free, that is 100% cpc identical?

It must be very hard to test that all the lines are there and nothing is missing i suppose...

[CraigsBar]

I don't suppose anyone has a spare stockpile of acids and asics to make a plus version LOL.

[Subaru]

Well , working 

FR:
Trés beau boulot. Respect.  

Mais moi je vois un clone de CPC 6128.

"Amstrad 128K Microcomputer (v3)
1985 Amstrad Consumer Electronics plc
and Locomotive Software Ltd.
Basic 1.1"

Et pas de slot datacorder...

Pourquoi le nommer CPC 464 Clone, dans ce cas là ?

Parce-qu'il n'y a pas de gestion disque ?

Very nice job. Respect.

But I see a CPC 6128 clone.

"Amstrad 128K Microcomputer (v3)
1985 Amstrad Consumer Electronics plc
and Locomotive Software Ltd.
Basic 1.1"

And no datacorder slot ...

Why name the Clone CPC 464, in this case ?

Because there is no disk management?
