I see that myself and SpeedyG get a mention... I would add the SpeedyG list, Slot #4 is also the Mouse Card Slot too.. MarkO

Thank You for continuing to support this Software... MarkO

As a point of Clarification, Ed ( Zippster ) only Assembles and Ships the CoCoSDC.. The CoCoSDC was Designed by Darren Atkinson ( http://cocosdc.blogspot.com/), and Daren still does all the Firmware updates. http://www.cocopedia.com/wiki/index.php/CoCoSDC MarkO

My Second Computer was an Apple ][e, which I got in NOV-1983.. My dad bought a Star Gemini 10, ( SG10 ) and I knew from High School that the Epson MX-80 would slow the computer down while printing, so I started looking for options... I found the Microbuffer ][, and I "splurged" and got the one with 64K and both Parallel and Serial... ( This picture I found "On The 'Net" and looks to be just the Parallel Version ) That made a huge difference in Printing and moving on to "other work".... MarkO

I probably have a photo or three of my setup, BITD, but I would need to locate them... I do have posted here in my Gallery, a Photo of when I first got my ][e... MarkO

The ISPs in my area that offer this kind of service are using Point-to-Point Microwave with Fiber from the Towers to the ISP and then the Internet.. As an Individual User, you don't share the Bandwidth to the Tower, but do share it with all the other Point-to-Point Microwave Users to the ISP. For areas not served with Coaxial Cable or Fiber, it's way better than DSL, or Cellular Systems.. MarkO

I like your little label with the Battery Replacement Date... MarkO

There's a TransWarp in Slot #1, a Uthernet II in Slot #2, an Audio Card of some sort in Slot #3 and a CFFA3000 in Slot #6. The little card in Slot #5 is probably for Stereo Audio.. MarkO

Apple was also strong in the Educational Market in the U.S., Canada and Australia.. Especially in the Pre-College Market.. MarkO

No Problem... MarkO

I would be interested.... MarkO

This is the Composite Mod mentioned previously?? Or a different one?? My Uncle made a Joystick that mimicked the Keyboard.. MarkO

With all the "new" Vintage Computer "stuff" being made, last week I got a couple of the CoCoPSG cards for the Tandy Color Computer.. These are a new card made with a single Yamaha, YM2149 chip.. MarkO

The research I have done so far, indicates that FPGAs can work in Parallel, so the Programming Language reflect that.. And that Varilog is a lot like 'C', verses VHDL.... MarkO

For me it's the lack of knowing VHDL or Verilog.... I would suspect that it the Issue with most of the other adopters of the Carte Blanche II, so far.. MarkO

For Run #01, one of the options was to use the supplied WDC65815, but it was limited to 1MHz. Essentially the Carte Blanche II is setup as a Alternate Processor Card, with the WDC65816, ( Instead of a Z80 or the MC6809 ). This is the Schematic for the Carte Blanche II. This is found on the Carte Blanche II Developer Resources page. This is the WDC65816 Accelerator Card ( Project #41 ) in Altium Designer 10 (27009). This is found on the Carte Blanche II Demo Project, Page - 6. Because of the Zip Chip, the Rocket Chip and the Applied Engineering Trans Warp Cards, as well as the Modern Boards, making an Accelerator is totally feasible.. MarkO

Not that I have seen... Contact Steven directly or on UseNet. The Daughter Cards, like the I/O Board have Gerbers available. MarkO

While it should be possible to make an Accelerator out of the Carte Blanche II, no one has, ( yet ).. Run #01 shipped with a 14MHz 65816 chip, and if the ASIC Logic of the Zip Chip was implemented on the FPGA, it should be very possibly to make an Accelerator. VGA and HDMI were available when in originally shipped in JUL-2015.. I ordered my Unit with Option #4 ( out of 4 ): 4. IIe VGA video card + Apple speaker circuit + Mockingboard + 1Mhz 65C816 replacement processor (motherboard processor disabled and replaced with CBII's 65C816). MarkO

An FPGA is Programmable Hardware... The concept of making an Apple Accelerator, should be possible, but no one has attempted that yet.. These are the Projects, ( so far ) that would benefit the typical Apple ][ user: Project 25: ][gs VGA Video Card Project 31: Circuit Cellar's TMS9918A Video Card. Project 33: ALF Apple Music Card, MC1. Project 34: Z80 SoftCard with Z80 Softcore. Project 37: MockingBoard Audio Card. MarkO

In the last 48 Hours, Steven Howell of applelogic.org posted in comp.sys.apple2 that he is getting ready to make another run of the Carte Blanche II. This will be for the Card Only, no Extras... He is ESTIMATING a price of US$195.00, which would not include shipping... If you missed getting one from before, now is your chance--> Carte Blanche II MarkO

I have a couple DB25-DE9 adapters that I use.... I can MAP them out for you.... MarkO

I am still working on my Networked Games.... I have a good feeling that I can get something delivered this time.. MarkO

Very Interesting.... How do you find that out??? Do you know what Rev the Motherboard is?? MarkO

What was the Error in the Listing??? I have a 4K, Standard BASIC CoCo 1... MarkO
