[2019-11-03 19:58:13 CET] the one who is hoping to build an ace one day ;-) [2019-11-03 19:59:16 CET] Yes, the Mk1 board will need corrections/modifications [2019-11-03 19:59:25 CET] But I think its 90%+ there [2019-11-03 19:59:54 CET] It would be good to add vDrive connections [2019-11-03 20:00:24 CET] But the Jupiter Ace site guy is designing a 96K card with compact Flash connector [2019-11-03 20:00:35 CET] He hasnt started to modify the rom yet [2019-11-03 20:00:42 CET] sounds good! and old keys can be used? [2019-11-03 20:00:53 CET] Yes, Cherry MX type [2019-11-03 20:01:08 CET] You can buy from China new, 3.00 for 10 [2019-11-03 20:01:40 CET] Hello both. [2019-11-03 20:01:49 CET] Hello H [2019-11-03 20:02:32 CET] where is the info on the compact flash connector? [2019-11-03 20:02:56 CET] https://jupiter-ace.co.uk/Acechip_loctaion.html [2019-11-03 20:03:10 CET] thank you :-) [2019-11-03 20:03:13 CET] Check the hardware section for all sort of good stuff [2019-11-03 20:03:38 CET] yes, i had missed an alternative for the vdrive [2019-11-03 20:04:07 CET] Using tape would be a pain today. [2019-11-03 20:05:32 CET] Heinz, I have lots of BC183 and 2N3904 transistors. Do you need any [2019-11-03 20:07:03 CET] anyone there? [2019-11-03 20:07:23 CET] Thank you for the offer, but I have enough transistors of any kind, NPN, PNP,...and even dual MOSFETs now. [2019-11-03 20:07:54 CET] OK, I got a load of stuff to when the computer place at work shut down [2019-11-03 20:08:18 CET] rune, I did not find something concerning CF-cards on the mentioned source. [2019-11-03 20:08:28 CET] hold on [2019-11-03 20:08:58 CET] https://jupiter-ace.co.uk/hardware_ACF.html [2019-11-03 20:09:11 CET] look at bottom of page [2019-11-03 20:09:27 CET] thank you, going there [2019-11-03 20:11:11 CET] Nothing about CF cards, only the layout. [2019-11-03 20:11:12 CET] There is also a speech project. Heinz could have the zeddy and ace talking to each other [2019-11-03 20:11:36 CET] No definitely there. Im looking at it [2019-11-03 20:11:43 CET] that would be great!! [2019-11-03 20:11:51 CET] Under ACF 5 [2019-11-03 20:12:18 CET] Itrs even got the PCB from Eagle CAD [2019-11-03 20:13:22 CET] Got it yet? [2019-11-03 20:14:04 CET] Found it. But: "The extension to the Aces ROM to save and load tape files to the CF card are next to be worked on." [2019-11-03 20:14:14 CET] Was it finished? [2019-11-03 20:14:21 CET] i got it, is it like the expansiand card you are working on? [2019-11-03 20:14:55 CET] Heinz, I think they are working on it just npow [2019-11-03 20:15:04 CET] I don't think so. [2019-11-03 20:15:30 CET] If the project was finished, then it would be the easiest way to copy it. [2019-11-03 20:15:49 CET] Bokje, https://jupiter-ace.co.uk/hardware_96kram_ay_module.html [2019-11-03 20:16:10 CET] i see, thanks! [2019-11-03 20:16:12 CET] I will contact the site owner and ask [2019-11-03 20:16:29 CET] AY chip on mine ay AY-8912 [2019-11-03 20:18:27 CET] There are lots of good things on that site [2019-11-03 20:19:11 CET] yes, it is a great site! [2019-11-03 20:19:47 CET] I am confused. Is the CF card project alreaDY FINISHED OR UNDER CONSTRUCTIONß [2019-11-03 20:21:08 CET] rune: is http://rullf2.xs4all.nl/jsace/jsace.html interesting? [2019-11-03 20:24:01 CET] Heinz, the hardware is finish. The ROM extensions have to be written. I've emailed the site owner. Wil ltell you when I know something [2019-11-03 20:25:40 CET] The last dates are from 2006. Strange. [2019-11-03 20:25:43 CET] Bokje, is that an emulator. Im having trouble entering stuff [2019-11-03 20:26:10 CET] I never saw dates. Maybe its finished but not updated? [2019-11-03 20:26:36 CET] he has kept the site live for 13 years [2019-11-03 20:27:08 CET] Dates: Look "update" december 2006 [2019-11-03 20:27:39 CET] rune: is the keyboard timing wrong or not working at all? [2019-11-03 20:28:07 CET] The emulator runs on my PC. Try vlist [2019-11-03 20:28:08 CET] Home page, copyright 2004-2019 so something is still live [2019-11-03 20:28:19 CET] and it is off by default, need to be started first [2019-11-03 20:28:58 CET] Would be nice to get the modified ROM for the CF project. [2019-11-03 20:29:25 CET] I dont get any response from my keyboard. Just when I click on the screen [2019-11-03 20:29:48 CET] Then I get letters displayed when I dont click on them, just "near" them [2019-11-03 20:30:01 CET] i studied load and save a bit, now it works with the hex notepad [2019-11-03 20:30:26 CET] Yes, agree. Or even a hint on how its implemented [2019-11-03 20:30:33 CET] ah yes, that sometimes happens and i have no idea why [2019-11-03 20:31:44 CET] Do I type commands into the Forth Notepad then compile [2019-11-03 20:32:58 CET] thats a special feature, on the wa way to load forth in ascii rather than the default binary [2019-11-03 20:33:51 CET] Got it working now. No idea what was different. URL saved for later :) [2019-11-03 20:34:27 CET] i will check the coordinates of the clicks [2019-11-03 20:35:10 CET] Is any additional hardware (ICs etc) needed to use a vDrive, or does it connect directly to the existing componnents [2019-11-03 20:35:54 CET] two extra chips (logical ones) are needed. [2019-11-03 20:36:26 CET] An LS138 and a buffer. [2019-11-03 20:37:18 CET] Would it be worth adding these to Mk2? [2019-11-03 20:37:45 CET] Oh, also on that site is a board allowing external ROMs to be paged in [2019-11-03 20:40:15 CET] yes, there may not be much space in the ace rom only for alternative file i/o and that could be paged in [2019-11-03 20:40:24 CET] There is a modification on the board needed to page external ROMs in. [2019-11-03 20:41:02 CET] Two diodes and two resistors. [2019-11-03 20:41:04 CET] At least it can be done. If this pcb works we have something to modify and expand [2019-11-03 20:41:35 CET] My son is calling, I have to leave. [2019-11-03 20:41:38 CET] Bye. [2019-11-03 20:41:41 CET] Bye [2019-11-03 20:41:46 CET] * Heinz quit (CGI:IRC 0.5.12) [2019-11-03 20:41:46 CET] bye h [2019-11-03 20:42:16 CET] I will sto too now I have to get ready for work tomorrow. [2019-11-03 20:42:34 CET] Nice talking to you Bokje. Im sure we will talk more in the future [2019-11-03 20:42:43 CET] ok talk to you next time, have a good evening! [2019-11-03 20:42:49 CET] You too. bye [2019-11-03 20:42:54 CET] * rune quit (Leaving) [2019-11-03 21:28:55 CET] * bokje quit (EOT)
