That's true. Maybe I should just make the CGA cable for my PVM and stop using composite

I don't have a way to program PALs, but 0603/TSSOP are not a problem for me. Same with desoldering the existing chip. From what I can tell, PAL programmers are not hard to build. Alternatively, maybe we can redesign this using small SMT 74 series logic to make it easier to assemble (not requiring pr...

Chuckphd53 - did you ever put together any of these?

What was happening is that it would hang, sometimes with graphic corruption, when it started to boot. I assumed it was just a boot loader issue, but it actually turned out that files on the disk were corrupted too. Something's not right with this CF card because another one works fine (I should have...

Has anyone been successful in getting this to work with a jrIDE? I have a floppy that boots no problem, but I cannot for the life of me get it to work via a 1GB Compact Flash card.

Is it possible to get a version of the BIOS that disables the NTSC colorburst (e.g., mode bw80)? There would be no effect on RGBI displays, but those of us using composite will get readable text... and you could always switch it back just before loading the bootsector.

I bought the last one

I'm interested in this board, though I don't need tools or assembly (yes, even the SMDs) if you want to save the preassembled boards/tools for someone else who doesn't have experience with this stuff.
