- the 250425 board should in fact boot to the familiar blue BASIC screen just fine without U1 and/or U2. (However, with U1 gone, e.g. the keyboard obviously won't work and with U2 gone, e.g. the serial port won't work).
VIC-II
- [1] - £23.84 (AUD$45.19)
- Commodore 64 VIC-II MOS 8565 R2 PAL video chip 5v (*TESTED*)! WRONG CHIP. Also dodgy and more expensive...
RF Mod
TODO
- Black Screen. Pulses monitor/pops when turned on.
- Power supply seems ok (5.18v). Fuse replaced (I managed to blow it while poking around with the multimeter :/)
- Nothing shows up when toggling on and of rapidly (PLA check).
- Disk drive spins up when turning on.
- Load "$",8 does nothing (not sure the disk drive is working, had to replace a capacitor). Tried poke commands to make sound without success.
Check VIC-II Vcc is 5v. pin 40 is 5vyou're looking for the RESET line to be grounded for half a second during powerup. Pin 3 of userport.RST line goes high after half a sec (and stays high)- No ram chips over heat. Only hotish chip is 6510
- Clock in on 6510 (pin 1) *seems* to be toggling (unsure, multimeter measures it lower than 5v but not ground).
- Clock out from 6510 seems to be stuck at 5v
- Address lines 0-11, seem to be under 5v but not GND. Except for pin 12, 13, 14, 15 which are 5v.
- Can I use Chroma/Luma on a composite monitor (ie for just black & white image)?
