Does anyone have the Schematics/PCB layout in CAD form (Eagle etc) for either the Powertran or the small PCB described above ..?

Have you got many people interested ??

Go for it ... You've got nothing to loose by giving it go !

Sounds like a great project... though too ambitious for my skill level... Good Luck !

There's a good Article on counterfeit ICs here : http://primrosebank.net/computers/mtx/projects/mtxplus/notes/mtxplus_fakes.htm Also avoid the exorbitantly price TMS9995s etc Just because they have stupidly high price doesn't guarantee they'll work. I got some Z84C0020PECs from ebay.com and they turned out to be Z80Hs that had been remarked.. they all worked.. I did however get a full refund when I expalined to the suplier and sent Photos...

Got quite a bit of stuff from this supplier (Funkward-tech) and they are good to deal with.. however make sure they pack the ICs with Anti-static foam as they don't always use Anti-Staic handling.. but all the Chips I got worked fine.. however be patient as it does take some time to arrive!

What might be Cool ! A self-build Colecovision II to build yourself from parts, PCB, ICs, resistors etc then test and get working would be cool ! Like the Old Sinclair ZX 81 kits ! It would be cheaper to use the V9958 in any new CV console, the V9958 is cheaper and easier to source than the original TMS9918A.? and still fit into an original case !

Hi. I'm looking for Colecovision Service manuals and technical documents, schematics etc? Any pointers where to look ?

I've heard/read that rumour !! I've also read a lot about opcode games being somewhat lethargic Somebody needs to go down to OPCODE games and do some serious Ass-Kicking ...

Hi. Has anyone made a Colecovision Hardware forum for people into Z80 and Colecovision hardware design etc ? I'm sure there must be people that are interested in homebrew Colecovision hardware ? For making your own homebrew PCBs, Breadboarding, Hardware add-ons and even complete Z80 systems ! Anyone interest just leave a message.

Hi. I've recently heard some rumours of a Colecovision II console soon to be released ?? The new console wil also have partial MSX 2 compatability !! Has anyone got more information ?
