Neil, his engineer, has completed the first few of the first run (first run of 100 boards), and Allan is awaiting his to test out. Allan will then check it out against the VDC Experience, a most difficult demo to display (only works with a German C128 and certain German 1084S monitors). If the C=VGA works well with the VDC Experience, then it will be pronounced fit to produce. 80 out of the first run of 100 C=VGA's have been spoken for. If the parts can be found again and at a reasonable price, there will be a second run. I asked Allan to see whether the C=VGA will be ready for a North American public premiere at the July 29-30 Commodore Vegas Expo (CommVEx). He agreed that would be a good time to show it off.

The last > time I did any programmable logic was in the OHDL days, and burning *snip* The new graphical layout tools are great.. Dont really *need* to learn VHDL, as long as you remember your gate logic.. True, its better if you can code directly.. im in the process of learning vhdl myself.

Troll the community for 3+ years then say maybe there will be one for you, oh wise person who did not pre-pay.

Of course I did'nt expect it to be true either. Joe

I've never heard of anything like that which will work with both C128 and C64's?????? Please clarify if such is true! Clarify a source. Joe |
