Yup I have an Acorn Atom, I love that machine, as much as my Cosmac VIP. i used one of Zipsters boards (designed for the TRS-80 Colour computer) to get composite NTSC Colour output on the Acorn Atom. :)

howdy, I think there is either an IpsoFacto or Viper artical about adding a 6847 to your Elf, or VIP. I will try and dig it out, it might help. but those would be keywords to do additional searching with VIPER or IpsoFacto was an RCA1802 user group out of Hamilton, Ontario. so that...

Dang just passed by this area to go to VCF East 2023. Dang. :0).

maybe these files may help?

i replaced the 74LS273 and the 74LS123 when i had the same issue of it repeating the last key pressed. :) I think the solution was actually the 74LS123 you may want to try that first, if this is a clone keyboard that uses an eprom instead of a keyboard controler chip :)

Hi there, I am about to become the proud owner of a lovely encased Rockwell Aim65. :) It's arrived in Canada (according it it's tracking inf), and I should have it shortly :) I am looking forward to messing around with it, and trying the various language roms available for it. Once I have...

Yes very odd, but there in the corner was a rather nice guy showing some stuff. One of the things was a MacIntosh Colour Classic. Very nice condition, no yellowing, complete with keyboard mouse... :) I asked if it was for sale, expecting him to say "what, are you nuts?" but he said it was, I...

besides the ability to use a Smart 3.5" disk drive, and the self test, are there any other advantages to putting in a ROM0 or ROM3 in my A2S4000? i was able to use ADTPRO at 115200 speed without any issues...and I kinda like the ability to boot off the external drive 2. just wondering if I...

it appears to be auto repeating characters as soon as you press the key. if I tap any key, it will generate 5 letters... if i hold it down it will just keep generating that character. the issue is definately the keyboard... and the strobe seems to be producing 66.5 us pulses each time a...

Long story, and mostly done for fun... So i built an IA-1010 rev 2. running at 2.0 mhz. Works great, I hacked a bit so it will support a 2732 eprom, instead of a 2708. I added remote rom disable circuitry via PIN 70 (unused) on the board. Along with this board I build from scratch a 64K ram...
