I didn't realize there was a shortage of these things. Just a couple months ago, I bought a VIC IEC to IEEE-488 interface for around $25 on eBay, and ended up selling it back off for about the same.
This is probably faster, being that it connects directly to the Expansion Port (data / address busses, etc) but still the same function. That said, COOL! Glad to hear folks are doing stuff for the PET / VIC era. And hey, I just heard that VIC-20 is the 'new' C-64.. ;-) On Tue, Oct 6, 2015 at 8:25 PM, Jason T <[email protected]> wrote: > Some friends in the local 8-bit micro hobby have whipped up a clone of > Commodore's VIC-1112 IEEE interface for the VIC-20 computer.
