Hi! I think its time to update the N8VEM projects list. Any
updates or corrections? Are we missing any projects? Thanks and have a nice day! Planned ECB Active Terminator - status: not started. Has anyone built
one of the ECB extended backplanes? Do they work? Do we even need
an active terminator for the new backplane? ECB WD2793 FDC - status: not started. It has been
a while for this one. John is working on an S-100 ZFDC board which uses
the WD2793 so it probably makes sense to let this one wait until the S-100 ZFDC
is done ECB Dual GIDE - status: not started. Max, we
were working on this at one point, I seem to recall. Any progress? ISA Prototyping Board - status: not started. This
project is low priority and waiting for some of these others to clear out
first. Active ECB Host Processor Redesign - status: PCB completed, awaiting
manufactured PCB order ECB RAM-Floppy - status: in work. Wolfgang
requested to hold the ordering the prototypes until after December so he can do
some updates. On hold pending resolution. ECB uPD7220 GDC second prototype - status: second prototype PCBs
ordered. Should arrive late Dec 2010. Home Computer - status: initial prototype PCB designed
and trace route optimization underway. No estimate for completion yet. S-100 Console IO - status: first prototype board ordered
and sent to builder team. Build and test underway with expected rework in
progress. Second prototype PCB looks likely given scope of changes. S-100 ZFDC Intelligent Floppy Controller - status: second prototype board ordered
and en route to John. Fixed the numerous problems with first
prototype. Looks solid and probably a manufactured PCB will be ordered in
couple weeks or so. S-100 68K CPU - status: first prototype board ordered
and distributed to builder team. Initial build and test under way.
See Douglas Goodall wiki for update on status. PICE - status: Nothing on PCB, prototype is
in construction. No progress recently. SCSI2IDE - status: concept board designed.
Ready for prototype but likely OBE. Probably headed for permanent stasis. MSX cartridge reader: - status: initial prototype board status
ordered. Should arrive in late Dec 2010. MSX cartridge board: - status: designing board in work. SBC-188 rev 1 - status: Rev 1 PCBs on order.
Expect delivery in late Dec 2010 4MEM - status: Initial PCBs on order.
Expect delivery in late Dec 2010 Under Consideration S-100 Propeller prototyping board S-100 Bus Exerciser S-100 SCSI Interface > -----Original Message----- > From: Andrew Lynch [mailto:lyn...@yahoo.com] > Sent: Saturday, November 06, 2010 1:25 PM > To: ' > Subject: RE: N8VEM projects > > Hi!
