Where I can find a BOM list?

The BOM is in the STBlitter_RevA.zip on his site. In the readme.txt. I attached a bom which I generated from Eagle and added the missing values. But you really should use readme.txt. Lots of other info there.

---EDIT---
and agranlund's website for the record:
http://www.happydaze.se/stblitter/

Does anyone have any insight as to what is necessary for the ROM portion of this upgrade? I can see a somewhat blurry picture of two larger EEPROMS on the high / low sockets, but can't make out anything useful otherwise. Also if anyone knows, can the IDE be disabled but the ROM portion kept?

I'm going to build a few and have a go.

Thanks!

Hi @Oldskool

Did you have success with your blitter boards?

If you have one spare and want to sell then I can take it off your hands. If not then i think ill order some made.

Cheers
Matt

Look pretty nice pcb. PNG

Exxos no longer can source the ST PLCC blitter (C101643 / I60611 / MM9092V), but the STE/Mega ST blitter can still be found fairly cheep.

STE Mega STE SMT MCU + Glue + Blitter 144 Pin IC C302183-002

This chip combines the features of several chips into a single package, and I wonder if the daughter board approach could be used to adapt the C302182 to the older ST. As far as I know, the blitter hardware has the same software interface across all implementations. That should mean that as long as the electrical / signal difference are accounted for, it should be possible to access the blitter hardware in the C302183 on an ST.

Best still has blitters for the original line:

$40.

I tried Best for a blitter and some help with my double spring keyboard - they won't post to the UK because of some virus or other.

Has anyone used the STE chip just for the blitter?


I was thinking of using this project for the blitter:

What would be cool if this was added directly to @agranlund 's Blitter IDE card by someone with more skills and time than I.

All the blitters are the same IC...

They meant the integrated MCU/BLiTTER, used in the late STe/Mega STe units...
