@brouhaha @NF6X Here is the link to the Github repository. All the files you need are there. The gerbers, and the firmware and the 3D printable models. :) This is a joint project from Josh Bensadon, Con Skardis and I. Cheers. :) https://github.com/cskordis/VIP-S-Computer
I've been working on a project kinda since 2015 when I built my own COSMAC VIP, it was wire wrapped and worked great. Now with a little help from my friends, I have a PCB version. So I decided to design and print an enclosure for it. :)
@scruss Hope you are feeling better soon :) let me know when you are, so we can get together. :)
There was a lovely more or less complete final prototype on ebay a week or so ago. It was from Ed's collection, he made it along with Marcel. We have the schematic and a couple of bareboards. Josh B. is going to re-work it (like he did with Ed's ELF II and Hyperboard) and make the gerbers available. We dont have gerbers for the board that was sold on ebay, but basic aspects of it were tested, and Ed has some pictures of it playing games from the boards roms. It was fun playing with it.
there was also an FTDI based storage solution for the Comix-35. It required a modified firmware but it did work. :)
Could I be that friend? Could you be that friend who had a Commodore 64? The Acorn Atom was sold at Gladstone Electronics in Toronto. I got mine second hand from a friend with British Mom. Oddly enough I currently have 2 Acorn Atoms, a BBC Model B+, and a Master128 :) I love me some British computers. Oh and Apples, and a few Commodore machines as well. :) Currently messing around a few, on the dining room table...waiting for my Econet upgrades to arrive from UK.
