Great result @dml !

@mrbombermillzy Should that be fledged rather than born?

:hide: :hide: :hide:

omg it’s alive! :cheers:

Pizzabox c-lab to the rescue :)
(such a nice machine, not at all jealous..)

Those old ceramic mfp’s really do look nice. Do yours run quite hot as well compared to the plastic ones?

:bravo:

:bravo: :girldance: :cheer: :girldance:

So what was the problem then ?

On the toasty side yes. I think they are 4 or 5MHz parts.

Not going to heatsink them - they can burn in style :p

Some complicated driver errors. Driver = person behind wheel.

First problem was finding a bad IC on wheebay instead of going premium.

Second problem was not soldering all the pins on the microscopic RAM chips - and then checking them with a microscope multiple times but not actually checking shoulder-to-pad continuity on all of them.

Third problem was trying to use a selection of PC USB-RS232 cables which don't understand how to RS232.


Or maybe it was just upset with me plugging PCs & Macs into it constantly. Things all started to go smoothly when the pizzabox Atari appeared. :D
