Spring has come, and with it insanity...
ZXNet echo conference «hardware.zx»
From Alexander Araktcheew → To All 29 April 2004
Hi, All!
In general Subj...
The project of finishing my computer is coming to an end, I hope not to
sad..
At the moment there are:
1. Adapter from the processor socket to the bus, let’s call it, for example, “zx.small”
2. QuadroAY + Sounddrive
3. NemoHDD
4. Kempston Mouse (ps/2 on avr) + Joystik + CMOS
All boards are routed and, except for the last one, assembled. I haven't tested it at work yet.
There are diagrams, drawings of boards in bmp 600dpi, photographs of assembled devices :).
I can upload it to someone’s page for everyone to see.
All these tops were collected using LUT, etched in acid with hydropyrite, drilled
manually with a 0.7 drill and soldered with a regular soldering iron. So it can be repeated
everyone who wants it, the only thing missing is someone who wants to repeat it...
And it’s desirable, because I may not notice all the glitches, and my interest may fade away...
The boards are double-sided, laid out manually in an attempt to facilitate the assembly of devices.
Minimum vias, minimum jumpers. Blocking containers are soldered
second floor... Soundrive is generally four-story with a bunch of bent resistors.
Whoever saw it will not forget :)
For those who don't know:
The "zx.small" bus is a piece of cable with
connectors from a 5"25 drive. Connects via an adapter to the processor
socket, expansion cards are plugged into slots on the cable.
Bye, All!
