I'd love one of these but I have the feeling it'll be out of my league. Roughly, what are these worth? Sorry, I only saw your reply just now by accident. I'm having one here laying around doing nothing. "Here" = Heerlen, Netherlands. Make me a fair offer and it is yours. Sent a 1551 latel...

I received a DAM's IEEE card. Now I have both the C64 and VIC-20 version.

That is normal.

From CBM-Hackers I got this:

OHO-Elektronik's GODIL module even makes drop-in replacements for ancient 5V technology possible:

Looks very interesting!

Gabriel, to my knowledge there are very few or close to none. I would like to program one, but not particulary for the VIC-20. Soon after having a working version of 1541IDE, I found out that all copy programs except one couldn't cooperate with it :( The reason was that they all tried to address th...

I did download it, but I wasn't able to read it, and therefore could not discuss it :)

Vic to 64 adaptor - what can I do with it? Nope, IMHO more a C64-to-VIC20 adaptor. It enables you to use C64 cartridges on a VIC-20. For this you need to solder a socket on the C64 side of the PCB. Mirroring the PCB ie. making a VIC20-to C64 adaptor of it, makes less sense. IO2 of the C64 is only a...

I had an interesting conversation with Gideon Zweijtzer last Saturday. He proposed to use the 1541Utimate for replacing the 6502, 6510 (or any other CPU). It doesn't have as many free pins as I would like but for a starter.... All you need is to solder a small PCB with on one site a 44-pin connector...

Who should pay for it: the manfacturer, the reseller, the customer (via taxes), the recycling company who actually buy trash to convert it into new materials? In the Netherlands we pay a "removal contribution" when buying a device. So the buyer pays. He who doesn't, doesn't pay (in contra...

... so obviously it is possible to make an FPGA based board that will replicate only the CPU and running at the speed of your choice. I did some exercises in VHDL so I could program a CPLD. But I have no means (= hardware) to test VHDL that can replace the 6502. So I also haven't paid any attention...

6502 in FPGA

(Also posted in 6502.org) Hallo allemaal, Please have a look at this: http://www.baltissen.org/images/gideon2.jpg If you don't recognize it, this is FPGA replacing the 6510 of a Commodore 64. My question: is it possible for someone on this list to design, build and, most important, to sell a small b...

That's not the cap but the routine checking the RAM. JiffyDOS and SpeedDOS start up up much faster due to another RAM checking routine (or more by the lack of it).

Re: How do you find the instruction alignment when disassemb

How do disassemblers normally do this? My self written disassembler cheks what kind of instruction it is. In case of a branch it remembers this place. In case of a jump, it starts dissassembling from the new address. In case of a subroutine, it disassembles the subroutine and continues after the or...

Something went wrong and this was posted twice. But even after reading the FAQ I didn't see a button or whatever to delete it.

....Python......... Panda3d......Octave.....Matlab..... I'm not a newbee. I heard of Python, just heard, never saw it AFAIK. But never heard of the other three.
