as hinted in https://www.atari-forum.com/viewtopic.p ... 19#p479319, there has been something cool in the works since the end of 2024 and finally, we can announce it publicly. I'll let you read the history and background on the website: https://mikrosk.github.io/decap.
Me (Miro Kropacek) and @ijor (Jorge Cwik) have been working on this together, with me funding the whole initiative and taking care of administrative tasks (like this one
) while ijor covered the technical part, patiently explaining to me every option and nuance of the steps to be taken. Without his help this would never emerge into reality, so thanks for that mate.Later we got help from @sigmate (Mathieu) and Dmitry, thanks to whom we are (will be) able to offer complete die shots not only for the Videl but also for the SDMA and Combel (we are still in talks how to finish these two with the best possible results, even though we have already received pretty cool images from him already).
As you can read on the website, this whole fun had its (literal) cost, which must be paid by myself. So when you read the website and like what you see, I appreciate any donation towards making the payment a bit less heavier. If it's not explicit enough on the website: the die shots will be released publicly, without any restrictions, in a few months' time so you are contributing for a public release for everyone's use (Apollo, SuperVidel, new Falcon boards, ... you name it).
Also, if you have any questions, ideas, offers for collaboration on the die shots, feel free to contact me here or via PM.
