Re: Dick Smith Wizzard on Display in Sydney

Hey Amagni, Good to see you here :-) Have a look in the hardware section for solutions for controllers from both myself and from Tom. If you're interested, I might have some PCBs for the controller replacements somewhere I can mail across. I'll also see if I have enough parts to make ACMS a basic mu...

If you're hitting the 6821 directly for your controller solution, I was wondering if you could do something clever with a Teensy 2, or some other similarly embedded microprocessor?

That way you can have a programme loading while music or speech plays out of the other channel. It's bizarre loading a programme and having Dick Smith himself gush about how gre...

Re: Derivavision - a Creativision clone
