Phoenix for TED: a MOS8360 port protector.... which also fix joystick failures!
Posted: Thu Oct 28, 2021 12:11 pm
Commodore C16 PLUS4
The Phoenix is a little card that protects the keyboard/joystick port of the TED,
allows you to disconnect/connect the joysticks without risk for the TED.
That's not enough:
Phoenix was designed with recent information uncovered by good guys:

Moving the jumper in Phoenix will enable a hardware register to mimic the broken one inside the TED correcting the joystick reading error!
If your TED work perfectly with the keyboard but it mix/fail the joystick reading, then Phoenix can help!
Test your joy ports with this simple BASIC program:
10 print joy(1),joy(2):goto10
If 1 joystick is read on both columns of numbers, the port is broken.
It fit C16 (if there is a metal shield it may need to be adapted) and PLUS4 (the metal cover will need to be removed).
15€/pc (minimum 30€ order, combined to other objects too) +shipping +(eventual)PayPal fees
