Greetings,

Nice to hear this! At the very first moment I could, I'd upgrade and test our Unit.

Thank you very much for your effort!!

I am currently looking for ICs that could be implemented in the next firmware.
When you have any suggestions please let me know.


Is anybody interested in these ICs (SNF/SNG series from Texas Instruments):

These series are from 1970/1971 (pre-74xx area). Does anyone know if these ICs have been used anywhere, so it makes sense to implement these?

Hi,

there is a new adapter for the RCT available that allows to dump 16k (2x 8k) C64 cartridges.

Tested with Simons Basic and Moon Patrol.

The Gerber files can be downloaded from my firmware site.

I have already a prototype for a VCS cart adapter. Unfortunately I ordered the wrong edge connectors, so I have to wait for these.
In the first time only 2 and 4 kb carts can be dumped, but I plan to implement some of the bank switched 8 kb carts.

btw
the manuals have already been updated with the c64 cart adapter.
And also the comparison html file has been updated and shows much more information now.

It is not RCT related but maybe you will find this useful.

You can now download Gerbers for following NOP Testers:
- Z80
- 6502 (incl. 65C02 and 6502C "Sally")
- 6510
- 6800
- 6801/6803
- 6802/6808
- 6809
- 6809E
https://8bit-museum.de/sonstiges/hardwa ... op-tester/

This will not test your CPU reliable of course but you can do a quick check if the CPU is "starting".

I have two "6809" CPUs in my collection which I marked defect some months ago. Just for fun I put these in all of the testers (of course this will maybe give Vcc/Gnd on outputs etc. which can destroy the CPU... but who cares it was already marked defect) and guess... in the 6502 Tester the addresses were counting up. These two CPUs where relabeled 6502 (they were bought on AliExpress). I will check these CPUs in the next days in a real computer to see if it is really working.

Greetings!

Have I missed the suggestions deadline?

I have a CBM-II cartridge. Unfortunately, those beasts are rarer than a hen's teeth and as such I have none of the required computers. How about a CBM-II cartridge adapter?
Recently, I have also been repairing a Neo Geo MV1FT for a week, your tool has proven invaluable again, yet I would like to humbly ask you if could add testing and dumping of the 27C301. I think that somehow would help the arcade side. :D

Regards

The 27C301 is now supported. Please send me an email so I can send you a test version.
