Tom Pittman’s “A Short Course in Programming” for the RCA 1802

Tom’s A Short Course In Programming (1980) is a good introduction for new 1802 programmers. Print copies are rare, so someone on the cosmacelf group asked if it existed as a printable PDF. We…

Good news: Got my RCA VP3301 video terminal with #CDP1802 CPU and RCA VIS chipset this weekend!

Bad news: DIN plug I ordered from Digi-Key for power input was missing one of the pieces needed to assemble it.

Good news: Raised the issue on the Digi-Key web site, and notice of replacement part shipment being approved arrived very quickly, even though it's late Sunday evening!

Bad news: I have not powered up the terminal yet.

Good news: I did dump the terminal's ROM, which is not believed to be archived yet by the #COSMAC community! It was even my first time actually using my #glasgowinterfaceexplorer for a real purpose.

Bad news: While the terminal came with a user's manual and a schematic of the UART subsystem, it didn't include a full schematic, so it'll take some work to figure out the address map and whatnot.

Good news: Reverse engineering old computers is fun!

I bought an RCA VP-3301 terminal based on the #CDP1802 #COSMAC the other day on eBay. It just occurred to me that I have the same model of TV shown in this ad, except branded as the TRS-80 Color Video Receiver and marketed for the TRS-80 Color Computer. Are y’all thinking what I’m thinking?

Falling down the #RCA #CDP1802 #COSMAC rabbit hole again. Updated 1802 Membership Card and VIP2K kits are on their way to me, as well as an RCA VP3301 terminal that I paid too much for on eBay. Can't wait to see that stunning 40x20 text in several colors!

A System For The Sixties: The RCA Studio II

Did you ever hear of the tragedy of the Capacitance Electronic Disc? I thought not. It’s not a story MCA would tell you. It’s an RCA legend. It’s said they h...

My CDP1802-equivalent RTL core can run at 166 Mhz in an XCKU5P Kintex Ultrascale+ FPGA (-1 speed grade). Given that my core takes exactly 1/8 as many clocks per instruction as a real CDP1802, this means that it will run at the equivalent speed of a 1.33 GHz CDP1802.
The real CDP1802 typically ran at 2.0 to 3.2 MHz.

"The COSMAC (Complementary Symmetry Monolithic Array Computer) is an 8-bit microprocessor family introduced by RCA. It is historically notable as the first CMOS microprocessor."

"Successors to the 1802 [ . . . ] have [ . . . ] enhanced features [ . . . ] There are also some minor pin function changes, but the line continues to be produced in its original 40-pin dual in-line package (DIP) format."

That's pretty cool! Just learned about the #COSMAC from @requiem 's comment hackers.town/@requiem/11209580… .
