Commander X16

I copy/pasted the first post in this topic into the Uzebox forum X16 topic here: https://uzebox.org/forums/viewtopic.php?p=38507#p38507 CunningFellow is working on a SMD based "kitchen sink" version of the Uzebox that will have all of the possible ports and potential add ons and he asked ...

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...

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...

Several of us have suggested just that. I suggest popping in to the Discord and making your thoughts known to David in the hardware channel. I might have to do the same. Which is a pain because I’ve been diligently avoiding discord. Honestly I’d tell him to nix the console version as planned and ju...

I agree. My development for the X16 has come to a dead stop while I wait for this uncertainty to end. The whole joy and purpose of these types of systems is that they're all the same. Now we've got the possibility of incompatible system software versions and even different CPUs with different instr...

If the current allophones are 8-bit unsigned, they can be converted to signed by adding $80 to each sample before pushing it to the FIFO (or convert the raw files with this same arithmetic).

Which button is not working? Which kernel release are you using?

Somewhat related: I've been working on this module which uses the SiI9022ACNU, attaches to my VERA X5 boards, and provides a digital input to "HDMI compatible" output path. MIDH-Bean-Panels.jpg Unfortunately it doesn't fit so well in the system: MIDH-Bean-OtterX.jpg And not every TV wants ...

The TL866II+ can program both, but it seems to have trouble setting fuses on the SMC sometimes. Fortunately, recent improvements to the SMC code seem to allow it to work without enabling the PLL.

That said, my tool of choice for SMC programming is an Arduino UNO.

I have 50 boards left, but the labor involved in putting a kit together tends to put a damper on my enthusiasm. Most of that frustration is down to populating VERA and the YM replacements. Each VERA, OPM2151, and I2S DAC takes roughly one hour of labor (30 minutes for VERA, 10 minutes for each side ...
