Many of the 8-bit ones go for quite a bit more. There was an SB 1.5 that
went for $200 recently, and a Game Blaster went for $400! Once you go past
the SB Pro the prices drop a lot, SB 16s (especially the Vibras) are dirt
cheap. I think people have a fascination for the old Creative CMS chips
I've gone through this a few times myself. There are a few approaches.
One is to use a schematic tool like Kicad to place all the ICs first, then
add the wires and rearrange things as you buzz out the connections.
Another approach uses an intermediate step where you enter all the buzzed
out
I have some old Targa 1.0 video boards (dating back to their AT days) but
no driver diskettes. Does anyone happen to have some? I think they should
work with Targa 16 drivers.
It only supports mode 7 since it's an MDA card. :)
The QBASIC COLOR statement doesn't bother to range check the arguments, it
just copies them into the attribute byte in video memory. This is why the
trick works.
Other programs *know* that you clearly have a monochrome card so they won't
use the
I'm not that lucky! But yes, an early card with the light pen connector
should work.
The card I used for the demo is a somewhat later revision. I added rework
wires to match the schematic in the technical reference manual of the
earlier revision.
With either an early MDA card or a modded card,
The NEC Multisync monitor thread reminded me that I used one to produce a
video, and I thought a few of you might enjoy it.

The model number is JC-1401 if that helps.

Yesterday I dug out my prototype IBM DemiDiskette drive and took some
photos: https://twitter.com/TubeTimeUS/status/1032066215647166464. It
caused a bit of interest on Twitter so I figured some of you here may also
like seeing it.
I don't really know a whole lot about it other than what my
This is awesome! I've had an idea on the back burner that would require
some fairly custom plastic punched tape. I was thinking of using a laser
engraver but this would be a lot better -- no scorched edges.

It'd be interesting to find out how well that PRM-85 works. I've laid out a
board for a rough equivalent but I haven't fabbed it out. It may be cheaper
for me to buy that instead.
I've also got a 9122C but I don't have the mass storage ROM so I can't use
it with my 85. Right now I'm using it with
12 matches
