Fast IEC ?

The good news is that even though little work has been done on testing the IEC functionality, on the X16 side it is purely a software issue.  So in theory the various fast loader techniques can all be supported. But yes, since the SD2IEC doesn’t really support running custom code it is the more lim...

100 MHz 6502

This would probably partially work on the X16 with the tricky area being the banked RAM and the zero page mapped Banking registers.  If it can be set to externally access $0000 and $0001 as external IO in addition to the main IO range, plus the entire banked range then it would work, but that’s thr...

Change of product direction, good and bad news!

Well a lot of this is why David put out polls. See if people are expecting a fully assembled unit we don’t have the manpower or logistics.

Change of product direction, good and bad news!

Change of product direction, good and bad news!

As one of the official team member I will say first. David has not thrown his hands up at all and if that’s how your are interpreted it, that means only that you concluded that first and are only hearing what you already believe and not what he said. Secondly David is really not that directly invol...

X16 visual novel games?
