Encarta! New age Interweb schnick-schnack Humbug! The only true factual reference for the modern day scholar is the Hardcover 32 Volume edition of the Encyclopædia Britannica, which proudly adorns the shelves of my library and reading room.

That sounds like a really cool DIY project for me and Junior :)

Quote from: Benedikt on Yesterday at 18:03I am going to use an ATF16V8 with known-working configuration for RAM banking, i.e. copy this aspect of the CPC6128's design.
But PAL produces CAS0, CAS1 signals for two parts of RAM. If you want to read 16bit from two banks, the CAS0,1 signals must be modified.

Good point!

Quote from: GUNHED on Today at 16:49Yes, the modern printer port is a good idea of course.  :) :) :)

Maybe some Mother MX4 slots? If space available on PCB?
The "modern" printer port... :laugh:
Both, the KCc and the 6128 Plus had DB25, already.

My current projection for the amount of space left on the system board is roughly -50%, so... no. ::)

Hey everyone. I got my usifac 2 days ago and loving it. I have a question, sorry if it was answered before. 
Which program should i use to extract .dsk  files so i can put them into usb folders?
I found ManageDsk so far, is there any other program to do this? Thanks!

Quote from: gregg on Today at 15:52not enough GPIO pins (like Seeed Xiao)
How many pins do you need?
2040 Zero has a little more.
20 at this point, but maybe I will need a bit more:
6 for RGB input
6 for RGB output
2 for csync inputs - one for pio one for host, looks like can't be shared
2 for v/hsync outputs
1 for input hsync being extracted from csync by pio
2 for the same hsync going into second pio and host
1 for 50/60hz switch

Actually 2040 zero looks cool. Small, just enough pins (exactly 20), and same price as pico. It has some components on bottom so when installing on a pcb I would have to use pins to install it a bit above, or just make hole in my pcb.
Thanks for advice!

Hey @GUNHED , what about a Unidos node for Dobertin HD20 ?

Quote from: Prodatron on 11:54, 14 May 24What is the problem to open an own thread for this off-topic stuff?
How is unidos nvram off topic to the unidos thread?
Well, iirc the Nova nvRAM was made for Unidos. For Unidos users who do not have the Albireo. That's what I did read from the Nova thread from PulkoMandy:
