Cool thanks, I've got plenty of those I think.DoG wrote: 12 Jan 2020 20:52 You need a 2,2KOhm resistor as pullup on the BGACK as well. It's not part of the BOM since it's a fix. So easy to forget to order if you not have it at home already?
Yeah, I hate 'em too, they drive me insane!PhilC wrote: 12 Jan 2020 20:31 At least you only have one value lect to worry about RJ :D
The discrete components are the ones I hate most.
It's required. Just cut the traces or lift/don't solder the three pins in question and the output is perfect.rubber_jonnie wrote: 17 Jan 2020 09:44 @exxos I have put off installing the Falcon DAC because of the brightness issue that was reported. Is the DAC required for output to the standard Atari video connector, or will it work without?
@derkom Thanks I will do that, much appreciated :)derkom wrote: 17 Jan 2020 09:57It's required.

In Smonson's build he shows a picture of where he cut the traces. So good luck with finishing the build and post some more pictures. Hey you may finish before @PhilC 's second board. He appears to be stalled with a massive memory issue. :dizzy:rubber_jonnie wrote: 17 Jan 2020 09:44 So, last missing part arrived yesterday, so I will attempt to finish this weekend :)
Once built I'll apply the H4 patches.

@rubber_jonnie , looks good. There's a 33 ohm resister that goes under the from of the dam chip. I couldn't see it but I assume it's there. I had to file away a little bit of the socket and used a 1/8 watt resister. Check if you installed it. :)rubber_jonnie wrote: 18 Jan 2020 15:59 Ok, physical build is done, bar patches in the other post. They are coming happening now :)
