Limitations of RND() function


Waaay back when I had a Vic-20 as a kid, I learned to seed using TI, at least I think that's what I used to do. Did a bit of googling and some use the negative value as a seed: RND(-TI)

No idea if it would work on the x16 though.

Power supply


Isn't part of the reason for an ATX power supply having +/-12V for serial communication? I also think these voltages were available on the expansion slots.

VIC-II FPGA prototype


Latest update - "final" VIC-II Kawari board is ready and Randy is looking for beta testers - Go check the video here.

If you haven't, go look at the previous videos - I especially liked seeing a nice 80 column mode on a C64.

X16 Team Member Update


Thank you for all the time and effort you've already given to the project; you also have my condolences - it's fine to take time for your own well-being after such a loss. I'm sorry if this sounds like platitudes but I do hope for happiness in your future.

Fake(?) Chips and Retro Projects

Update - since I'm still unsure about those AM9511 I got, I bought a couple of C8231As from ebay. Hopefully these are the real article. <a href="<fileStore.core_Attachment>/monthly_2021_06/c8231a.jpg.d5ecc62ed8f30a9905b130723bab63b4.jpg" class="ipsAttachLink ipsAttachLink_image"><img data-fileid="1...

What would you do if you were the CEO of Commodore Computers?


Increase the price of the Amiga 600 when released but with a 14 MHz CPU instead of 7 MHz (allowing it to run at the lower speed when necessary).

Otherwise, no development at all for the 300/600 and just sell the 500+ longer until the 1200 is ready.
