Re: Calypso "Super Peripheral"
Is there any documentation available for this board? I am particularly interested in the WebDAV support. Check the documentation on Git repo for the firmware: https://codeberg.org/smrobtzz/x16-esp-fw/src/branch/main/doc I pretty much live by the WebDAV functionality these days. Unfortunately Window...

Re: Has Anyone Their CX16 in a "Real" 8-bit Retro Computer Case
That case was made for my OtterX. I still have a couple available up on Tindie (https://www.tindie.com/products/wavicle/otterx-8-bit-retro-computer/). Folks have also been using that Kickstarter C64 case with OtterX and Calypso for USB keyboard support. I'm not certain that I'm going to continue the...

Re: Blinkenlights for the X16 [request]
This is a circuit I posted on Discord a couple of years ago. You can use it directly for two rows of 8 lights, or you can replace the 7402 with a 74138 and get 8 rows of 8 lights. It's kinda expensive for what it does because it requires a 74273 latch for each group of 8 lights, but it has been used...

Re: The possibility of moving to a 65816 instead of a 6502
Capture? Yes. Meaningfully use? Most likely not.
The current bus decoding only considers the low 16 address bits. You would need a way to stop everything from responding any time the bank address is non-zero. E.g. you do not want the RAM bank register to change when you write to $10000.

Re: The possibility of moving to a 65816 instead of a 6502
There is no hardware to capture the bank address multiplexing. The memory map looks like 255 mirrors of the first 64K.TestPleaseIgnore wrote: ↑Sun Sep 29, 2024 6:49 am Since R47 the ROM detects and supports 65C816.
What is the memory map of the system in the 16-bit native mode?

Re: No PAL VERA... Then why Worry ?
I've spent a few days thinking on this. A PAL VERA is probably possible, but it will be a substantial amount of work. I looked at the scan timings, and they can definitely be accommodated by the existing hardware. The resulting VERA would have a 50Hz refresh rate and would not work with any programs...

Re: Calypso "Super Peripheral"
Right now, a custom Kernel is required. It is hoped that a strategy of allowing devices such as this to place a "driver" in some of the upper ROM banks will help future proof this. I'm talking with the Lazer3D folks. There is concern that the headers may be too tall. I'm considering puttin...

Calypso "Super Peripheral"
Hi Everyone, For a few months now, I've been working on a "Super Peripheral" named "Calypso" that addresses the most common complaints about what the X16 is missing. Those being: * No networking * Moving the SD card from the X16 to the computer is tedious * No support for USB key...
