+DrVenkman Posted June 16, 2019 Share Posted June 16, 2019 (edited) To get things kicked off, here are @mytek's original forum threads where he announced and developed both of these amazing boards: First, the original project, a mini-ATX 8-bit wonder: 1088XEL Next, the current project, a re-imagined A8, coming soon to a disused 1050 case near you! 1088XLD Third, Michael's own site, home to design details like schematics, PIC chip firmware, etc: Ataribits Fourth, general information and discussion on @flashjazzcat's incredible U1MB firmware, without which these boards simply cannot function (not an exaggeration!): U1MB "Alternate" BIOS Fifth, general discussion of MIDI on the A8 machines, via either stand-alone vintage MIDIMate interfaces, one of my Michael's SIO2MIDI boards, or through the 1088XLD's integrated MIDI interface: MIDI on the A8 Platform Tangentially-related, another link of interest: Compatible Media for XEL-CF interfaces and SID2 Carts If anyone else thinks of good links to try to collate into one easy-to-find thread, please feel free to post them in this thread.

+mytek Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 I sure could use a better translation of the following into English to update the posts on my MIDI page. MIDI Pattern Editor Original text file: MIDI Pattern Editor 2.3.txt My feeble attempt: Midi_Pattern_Editor_manual.odt MIDI Recorder Original text file: MIDIREC.TXT My feeble attempt: Midi_Recorder_manual.odt Thanks for any assistance on translating these documents . It would be good to get this MIDI stuff better sorted out, since it's now an integral part of the XLD, and very easy to add to the XEL. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wildstar87 Posted August 28, 2019 Share Posted August 28, 2019 I remember seeing some tests before I put in the Atari ICs, can you elaborate, so I don't have to crawl the entire thread? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
