Re: Pluggy Reloaded

Well, I have an update. Finally assembled mine at the weekend. Decided I hate desoldering, especially ground pins.

Re: Pluggy Reloaded

I should add that mine did arrive over the weekend (thanks @norgate!), and I've started to assemble it, but want to get a couple of pin headers so I don't have to solder the SD adapter or Ardiuno unit directly to it before continuing. Might be a while before I can actually use it, but I am looking f...

Re: Pluggy Reloaded

There's a lot to take in in this thread, but one question I immediately have. Are any of these still available, by any chance?

Re: My Gigatron Build

I checked out some of your blog article's, clear, concise, well laid out and easy to read. I am now even more jelly knowing that you received the last ever official Gigatron kit. Thanks! Although it's mostly concise because I'm too lazy to write more detail! I am indeed extremely lucky to have got ...

Re: PucMon

Interesting thread - not only a fantastic looking game, but a ROM upgrade. Hopefully something that might help pathe my way through a similar process... sometime in the not too distant future (I hope). Great work everyone!

Re: My Gigatron Build

Thanks! And also thanks for all the info. Hopefully I'll get a PS2 keyboard tomorrow - the USB adapter I got predictably failed to work, so hopefully I'll be able to do at least a "Hello World" this weekend. May take me quite some time, but I would really like to update the ROM, and try ou...

Re: gtBASIC

There is some truly impressive work (going on) here, and it's a fascinating read (although I'll need to study hard to understand it all)

Guess I'll need to upgrade the RAM at some point... and definitely I'm going to have to work on getting a loader working.
