  1. There's still about 40 Minutes left of the auction. Check it out while it's available 😁
  2. You can check it here at ebay: https://www.ebay.com/itm/225612481148
  3. Just cut them out with a sharp pointy cutter, carefully remove the remaining pins using a soldering iron, clean the holes and install a socket and finally insert the new flip-flop. /P
  4. I have a cart with an extremely early prototype of my own Monsteroids game. It's super rare and must be worth a fortune
  5. http://www.aipco.com is the distributor. I was just referencing the memory usage since you will need somewhere to store all sampled sounds such as a program disk, cartridge, APE server or whatever. The 64KByte sound ram needs to be fed
  6. The 5503 is a powerful device indeed, the biggest problem is the size of the wave tables. The smallest buffer entry is 256 bytes and the biggest is 32KByte. If I wanted to do a piano I would sample a piano for each octave (maybe three to be a bit skimpy), that would be 96Kbyte with the highest quality, and if we half the sample rate 48KByte and if we half it again 24 KByte. Still quite a lot for a 64K/128 KByte machine. 256 bytes can be awesome for gun shot sounds etc. With moderate sample rates and wave table entries you could probable make some really nice music as well. Still it would be really fun to play with such a device, i found a Canadian distributor that has the devices in stock..... Anyone.......
  7. I'm not exactly sure why you would want to breadboard it. When I was doing some research on the Atari 8-bit architecture I simply took apart an 800XL and put some DIP extenders on the chips and hooked a logic analyzer to them. This way I could load any software I needed and also simply develop and try out program that set all the chips to their respective desired mode of operation. It was great fun though and extremely rewarding.
  8. Just PM me with what you need and I will dig out the stuff and see if I can assist you guys.
  9. I have several complete cases just laying around. You could have one for the cost of shipping.
  10. Have you tried Tile Studio ? It's not perfect for 8-bit development but it works fairly well. /P
  11. Aren't there any pragma directives that can be used to control this behavior ? I seem to recall this but it has been ages since I used the cc65 compiler.
  12. But the 5200 is soooo beautiful
