Icky looks great. What is the floppy power leads going over to the simm? Just curious.

Well I tried out the HDMI / DVI Shifter from @Smonson today on the H4. I am not going back :) it works and the screen quality is superb. https://www.exxosforum.co.uk/forum/viewt ... =330#p2021

A photo just doesn't do it justice.

That really looks great, haven't seen any movement on for a while. @Smonson is this something that's going to be available to a wider audience? Anyway it really looks good in the picture! Nice job. :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:

I made a prototype for the version 6 of the mod, which has everything on one board (no mating boards anymore) - but for some reason, it didn't work. I've made a few changes for the next version, but Christmas wiped out all my cash, and so did my H4 mouser order :D

Just checking to see if it might become available at a later date. :) Looks like ya did a really nice job Smonson. Let me know if there's anything I can do to help.

Thanks Paul! The plan is 100% for people to be able to get hold of these mods, I just ran into technical issues that are outside my skill set. The other thread is up to date with the state of the project.

Perfect Sunday morning for a coffee and contemplating how to start building the next H4 board ready for the FPGA and Amigo boards.
