Colour me interested too.

Some VERY interesting chips in that list.

Rememorizer tested and working fine with the 2 monitors I tried it on: CIBOX 19" Widescreen monitor - model no LW1922C, and Samsung Syncmaster 720N 17" monitor also works fine on a my father's Panasonic Viera 32 Widescreen TV (well he'd not played Hawkwars for 25 years+ so I "tested&q...

The Simple answer is that the MTX "PSU" is a multi voltage transformer.

The AC it supplies is converted to DC on the main board.

It needs more than one regulator as the Video ram chips need 12v, 5v and -5v

I expect Dave to pop up shortly with the links to the schematics etc. ....

Have you considered using any Dual-Port Static RAM? I did consider dual port ram. A while back, I built a Z80 co-processor to fit in my RiscPC, that uses an IDT7132 2k dual part ram for communications. However, although I've got it running BBC Basic Z80, I can type in program lines and run then, th...

Well the smallest capacity ever MTX memory expansion would seem to be working. Up to 16 bytes can be fed into the fifo by writing to an output port, and read back from the same port, in the order they were written. The status port that can be checked to read the status of the empty and full flags ap...

Reverse BBC Micro anyone ??? I've had limited success so I didn't really want to say anything, but (big) Dave want forum post so ........ An MTX Tube Interface - great idea . . . And just look at all that extra board space you have to add a Motorola 6845 BBC (and Memotech FDX) CRT controller in add...

fifo 1-20 wiring.jpg fifo1-20 top.jpg I've been playing with FiFo's ! The 2, 16 pin chips, are 4 bits by 16 fifo's, that's right folks a 16 byte memory card. A fun occupation, however, if I can get my head around a memory device with no address bus, then I'm told it's the best way to communicate wi...

Have you tried touching the chips on the board, to see if any are running hot?

Welcome

If you're handy with a soldering iron, you could always remove the BNC socket, and fit an RCA one instead
