Re: Little Project: GAL/SPLD programmer

If you don't want to go the diy route, the tl866cs seems to be the most cost-effective solution?

Re: Little Project: GAL/SPLD programmer

Uh...maybe there is some misunderstanding. I do not want replace a GAL by an Arduino. I just want to program the logic chip with the Arduino. Transfer the data via USB from PC go Arduino and then let the Arduino program the logic IC.

Re: Little Project: GAL/SPLD programmer

Interesting argument. I'm working on a eprom writer (struggling with too many distractions, though), and I've never thought about this problem. A 16 MHz 328 Arduino seems to be faster than a parallel connection, I thought? And if it was too slow, just use a stm32?

Re: Little Project: GAL/SPLD programmer

I do understand, that you want to minimize the number of complex IC's, but I also think that an Arduino plus step-up leads to an overall simpler design?

Re: 28C64 in 2364 socket (28 pin to 26 pin)

Could you sand the black plastic spacers a bit shorter and then cut the pins by 1 or 2 millimeter? With a dremel and diamond disc maybe?

Re: Improving Timex/Sinclair Tape Loading

http://www.stm32duino.com/viewtopic.php?t=107 The hantek 6022be /bl scopes are also an option. I think one of those salae clones + sigrok might also be better than your probe: https://m.ebay.com/itm/24MHz-8CH-USB-Logic-Analyzer-24MHz-8-Channel-Compatible-to-Saleae-ARM-FPGA-M100/272337085235?hash=ite...

Re: What is the going price to have EPROMs burnt?

Just just want a cheap way to burn a 25 V eprom? I have a schematic for a Arduino based solution, although it still needs some testing.

Re: Explain this behavior

Very cool! I like C and the zx81in general, so I appreciate your efforts.

First optimization, that caught my eye was this *(screen+i)= ...

Why not *screen++ = ... ?

Re: Create ULA for €5?

Was this board already posted? http://gnarlygrey.atspace.cc/development-platform.html#upduino It's a nice small form factor board with 5k LE and even quite some ram. It's not 5$ , but 8$ is not _that_ much more. No clue, if the IO pins are where they are needed, but an adapter socket might fix this ...
