So, two weeks have passed. 27/29 have been requested, which means I'll order 30pcs later today. Everybody that placed an order should have received a PM by now. If you have not and think you should have, please let me know.

Current status is 26/28, so I'll probably order 30 pcs tomorrow.

If I'm not mistaken, MyIDE II does load ROM files, too. It has 512kB SRAM on board which can be switched read-only and simulate 8K/16K ans several banked ROM types.

Check out the trailer. There's this woman that has PCBs dangling from her ears! Which brought me to google... pcb earrings

I suspect it writes a non-zero value to $D21E (IRQEN on second pokey). But the question remains, why?

Could you elaborate on what problems occurred? I tried searching for it, but couldn't find anything.

Status update: not including Tillek's request yet, we have reached 18 boards, or 20 boards including optional extra boards to reach a multiple of 10.

I don't think the second Pokey will start firing interrupts when it is just powered on and not initialized. But if you want to be safe, you could perhaps hide it behind a jumper?

You are right, I did not use any dithering. With uniform backgrounds and dithering of the foreground you get blocks at the edges of your subject very quickly and they don't go away after a few billion iterations. Here's the original Delfador: I selected this one because our Atari is good at purples. I made a cut-out with a 4:3 aspect ratio and resized it to 320x240 and increased the colour saturation extensively: Command line: (I used a similar command line for all the other images) rastaconv /i=delf.png /pal=Palettes/laoo.act \ /dither=none /filter=box /o=output.png \ /s=10000 /threads=8 /init=smart \ /save=1000000 I tried using dithering with the following details image: The idea was that rastaconv would not extend blocks of colour and underlays beyond the silhouette, but that failed. edit: I ran these conversions on a 3.5GHz octa-core CPU overnight.

Thanks! I did try to use different images with different palettes. Could have done all the grayish and greenish elves of Wesnoth, but that would have been boring Good idea to use Image Search. That's indeed the original image

Last one. Some priest I found at deviantart but I cannot ehm... refind it for proper credit :/ 76 colours. ivop-priest.xex

High Lord from Wesnoth again. 48 colours. ivop-highloard.xex

Here's a fan rendition of Turrican. Original by ecsk0620. 67 colours. ivop-turrican.xex

And Konrad. 53 colours. ivop-konrad.xex

Here's Delfador from the Battle of Wesnoth. 72 colours. Slight banding, but after 2.2 billion evaluations it doesn't get much better. ivop-delfador.xex

Have you thought about connecting the second pokey's ~irq line? It would be nice to have three more timers (or two extra 16-bit timers).

Postage and packaging inside The Netherlands can be a euro cheaper.

Hi all, Recently I sold a few MultiJoy8 PCBs through here: http://atariage.com/forums/topic/260287-multijoy8-pcb/ It turned out I had to disappoint quite a few people and only sent one each. So, here's my offer to do a second run. I have to order them in multiples of 10, so let's see how many "slots" we can fill. Price will be the same, i.e. €4,= per PCB plus €4,= international shipping for 1 PCB. For 2 or 3 PCBs the shipping cost will be €6,=. So, total cost, including postage and packaging worldwide: 1 PCB €8,= 2 PCBs €14,= 3 PCBs €18,= As stated in the previous thread, this is an unpopulated PCB and you need to source and solder the components yourself. If you are interested, please leave a message below or PM me. I'll probably order the boards in a week or two.

All orders have been sent out. In case somebody digs up this thread in a few months or years, I still have a bunch of them left if you need one.

It does only peripheral emulation. As per the current paypal exchange rate: 10,39 USD (1 EUR = 1,03938 USD)

Perhaps you can try one of these to clean up the clock signals? http://www.nxp.com/documents/data_sheet/74HC7014.pdf

It converts RS232 levels (+3...+12V for binary 0, -3V...-12V for binary 1) to TTL levels (0V for binary 0, 5V for binary 1), and vice versa.

Hi! I have 18 spare SIO2PC RS232 PCBs including components. I'd like to sell those as a kit if anybody is interested. Note that this is not the USB version. It's an unpopulated PCB and components to solder yourself. The only thing you need to add is (half) a SIO cable or if you build it inside your Atari you need a DB9 male-female serial RS232 cable. If necessary I can chuck in a pin header as seen below. Price will be €6,= plus €4,= international shipping and packaging. This includes: 1 PCB 1 DB9 female connector 1 MAX232EPE 5 1uF capacitors 1 10K resistor 1 1N4148 diode 1 16p socket Here are some pictures of the finished product:

I don't have any left, but I am considering doing a second run, seeing that six people have already shown interest. I do need a multiple of ten though. I'll start a separate thread for that. I have not built any with a standard LS138, but as the circuit does not depend on very fast switching, I see no reason why a normal LS138 wouldn't work.
