I see my VIC-II adapter for the #Commodore #MaxMachine has found it's way to eBay.
This is not my listing and the price is insane, even with the MOS6567 included. The license is actually non-commercial, but at least I was given proper credit.🤷🏻‍♂️

I'm totally intrigued by this #Commodore #MaxMachine on an auction site.
It comes in a box that I have never seen before and which is absolutely unusual for this model.😍
Seems to be from an era shortly before the #C64.

Eureka it works!🥳
This adapter replacement for the MOS6566 can either use a MOS6567 or a MOS8562.
With the latter the picture quality is even better and since it runs on 5V there's less heat.
Next step: Create an SMD variant.

A generous friend sent me a MOS8562 for testing in my adapter.
I've already confirmed it works with a MOS6567, but these are harder to come by by the minute.
Should be an interesting test.🤞

I am opensourcing my MOS6566 adapter board for the #Commodore #MaxMachine.

Success! The MOS6567/MOS8562 to MOS6566 adapter is working.🥳
So far I was only able to test it with a 6567 but I have a 8562 on the way.🤞

The prototype pcbs for the MOS6566 to MOS8562 adapter have arrived. Aaand of course I missed something.🙄
Just cosmetics really, but the silkscreen writings for MOS6566 and MOS8562 are inverted.
#Commodore #MaxMachine #C64 #RetroGaming #RetroComputing

Added a logo to the MOS6566 adapter and ordered the pcbs.
Maybe I should put a warning near the jumpers that closing both will send 12V through your #MaxMachine.🤔

Finished routing the pcb for the MOS6566 to MOS8562 adapter.
I did it with a mixed approach, autorouter with manual cleanup.
Turned out quite OK, the 3D rendering isn't accurate though, because of overlapping footprints.

It's quite crowded on the board and I'm considering going SMD with this one. Well maybe I'll just make two versions.
