Commander X16

In fairness this design really means you are plugging an entire Z80 computer into a card and hijacking the X16's IO for it's use. It would work and would even be economically feasible by todays standards. But it would have been complexly silly back in the day. Given that the Z80 has been discontinu...

Yeah, since this is not a completed tutorial or guide, we're going to move it to the WIP section for now. Once this is complete, then it would be ready to post in the Guides And Tutorials. Don't know if you've looked at any of OSK's work Tom. But the book is almost there. I know he's gotten a first...

And it gets better... Chinese goods are now being slapped with a 125% tariff, as the taxes on goods from other countries has been paused for 90 days. (Either that or set to 10%. I've heard both.) So ordering from PCBWay will be an issue, until this is resolved. Everything coming out of China is goin...

This is one of the many questions I still have. What's happening right now is unprecedented, which is why I'm hoping people will record their experiences here, so others will know what to expect.

Hi! Nice to meet another Altair lover in the group. I also don't own a real Altair, but I have several Altair-Duino units (5 at last count), and I've discovered that the X16 makes a pretty decent terminal for the Altair using the Serial/Network card from Texelec. This looks like a fun little program...

** Update: So far, no one is being charged tariffs on their imported Lazer 3D cases. We think this is due to the "de minimis exemption", which basically means you can buy up to $800 worth of imported items before tariffs kick in. ** Original Post: FYI, the US President just signed a sweepi...

It sounds to me like the MIDI files are playing through the FM chip, and either the FM chip, the DAC, or the pre-amp for the DAC is not working. The one thing that's easy to test is the power supply. The FM audio circuit relies on negative voltage from the power supply, so if you have a multimeter,...
