Mega videl development thread

[foft]

I started a project a few months ago for a new expansion board for the CT60/CT63.

The thread on Atari forum is:
https://www.atari-forum.com/viewtopic.php?t=46347
& the repo:
https://github.com/scrameta/mega_videl

I just ordered prototype boards, hopefully I didn't screw anything up.

Anyway Steve (stormy) suggested I pop back here to mention the project and perhaps we can talk about debugging problems when I start to bring up the board. There are plenty of things I haven't tried before, notably DDR3 routing, impedance control, using transceivers etc.

Looking forward to seeing the development of this, I'm sure everyone here will be keen to help

Interesting project

Are there images of the project as AF don't allow guests to view images

Looks cool. I wish people would stop using SMT connectors though. Unplug at the wrong angle and the whole connector rips off the PCB.
