Re: RGB to VGA for MZ-700

If I recall well, I cannot use the MZ-700 CSYNC for SCART VIDEO. I had to use CVIDEO. That's because I use an Amiga DB23-to-SCART cable and CVIDEO is connected to SCART pin #20 (composite video). If I want to use CSYNC, to which SCART pin it should be connected? For MZ-800, what is your opinion abou...

Re: Introduction

That's awesome! I wonder how it performs compared to an Unicard. Some questions: 1) It looks like the CPU is soldered. I certainly would prefer a low-profile "socket" (I have special pins for that). Especially I have some KL5C8400 CPUs which need a PCB+GAL to make it possible to replace a ...

How to read the 16-bit counter #2 of PIT8253?

If I program the counter #2 as a byte counter, it works fine when I read $E006: LD HL,$E006 LD C,(HL) If I program the counter #2 as a 16-bit word counter, it doesn't work when I try to read the lower byte first then the upper byte. LD HL,$E006 LD C,(HL) LD B,(HL) A note mentions: The 8253 provides ...

Re: Joy Stick MZ-1X03

While I have one, I wasn't confortable to dismantle it as I may break it by trying to dislodge the PCB (one main and two smaller for switches).
