PIO interface with t.v. help

If you think its obsolete then what other CRT controllers are there that don't smash my bank.

I asked for information on the 8276 ages ago here, but the closest I got to it was the 8275. A member was kind enough to scan the datasheet.

Why does it matter if its obsolete? This is the Vintage Compuer forums...

6845 or 6545 (pretty well equivalents) they were so well used that when there aren't any real ones left, there are verilog descriptions available for making your own from a PLD.

thrashbarg your link sends me to the page but its blank.

The link worked for me - it took a while, but it finally succeeded. It is a PDF file, so make sure you have a suitable reader.

Now, onto something less pleasant.

I need to remind everybody to use the private message system for messages that are not of general interest to the rest of the group. The last post about the page being blank probably should have been sent privately, and if it truely was blank then a correction could be publicly posted.

Also, if you .sig is longer than your message, you probably shouldn't have posted the message.

Lets try to keep the noise to signal ratio to something tolerable.

I'm only on a 64k upload here. Give me a break.

I've taken the datasheet down because a bot decided to download it a few dozen times, if someone wants it please PM me.
