nikolaisen Posted April 14, 2021 Share Posted April 14, 2021 That PCB packs a punch! I’m still interested in several boards when the time comes. Very exciting to see the layout. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+ZuluGula Posted April 14, 2021 Share Posted April 14, 2021 There's a 8 pin DIN socket in place of stock 5 pin A/V socket. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Except for the two only needed signals "A4" and "BELL" near the Pokey ic, as to work for example the "Simple Stereo Upgrade" or something similar,... No. Now if someone not use the "VBXE" addon, it can choose two unused pins from the same 8 DIN connector, as to drive stereo signal from the same cable. This is one of the reasons who I decided to use a 2 row 10 pin connector. For all the other case, someone it can choose any place in the plastic shell it desire, as to drill and place the RCA connectors. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mathy Posted April 14, 2021 Share Posted April 14, 2021 Hello Panos If this isn't the final version yet, could you please add a pick up place for the extra signal the PokeyMax needs for Quad Pokey (to select the 3rd and 4th Pokey)? I'm not sure, but I guess that might be "A5". Sincerely Mathy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
santosp Posted April 15, 2021 Author Share Posted April 15, 2021 Hi Mathy, board is in the final version, but if I will order again I will try to add this also. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panther Posted April 19, 2021 Share Posted April 19, 2021 These new boards look great! I'm sure there are a lot of XE's that will be able to be restored with these. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

santosp Posted April 22, 2021 Author Share Posted April 22, 2021 (edited) Hi, The test period ended with success. All stages work properly! Now I can ship the rest of boards in any interested member. I have 6 more pieces available. Anyone who needs one, let me know in a personal message. Edited April 22, 2021 by santosp 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So from my side I would like to thank you who give this to us. ? 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atari_bbs_fan Posted April 24, 2021 Share Posted April 24, 2021 Hello Santosp, Curious, does your MB route the missing chroma line to the display connector? This would be useful for users wanting to use the S-video connection. Anyway, I do hope you do run another batch of motherboards as I'd love to get one as well. It was also requested above but is there a Digikey or other BOM pre-created to buy all the needed RAM, passives, connectors, sockets, etc? That's the route I would take and I guess the only other question is other than needing the custom silicon chips, is there anything else missing that would need to be scrounged up from an old board? --David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
