[Robbbert]

 

-vidbrain: Added expansion port interface. [Curt Coder]

 

-vidbrain: Added expansion port pinout. (nw)

 

-llc: modernised ; LLC2 added support for reverse video & added missing

pio. [Robbbert]

 

-vk100: Some improvement to the HLE vector generator, now properly

emulates the down counter so the "blue screen" part of the POST looks

correct, as does the cursor width. [Lord Nightmare]

 

-vk100: broke the vram access logic/math out of the vector generator

callback and into its own functions; fixed? the systat_a register to

read the vram nybble the x and y regs are currently pointing to.

[Lord Nightmare]

 

-abc800c: Added character display, promoted driver to working.

[Curt Coder]

 

-pcm: connected the k7659 keyboard, fixed screen size [Robbbert]

 

-abc800c: Added high resolution graphics. [Curt Coder]

 

-abc80: Added serial interface. [Curt Coder]

 

-a6809: Added ASCII keyboard. [Curt Coder]

 

-abc806: Used correct HRUII PROM. [Curt Coder]

 

-socrates: document that an MCU dump is missing of the 4-bit TMP42C40P

that decodes the IR signal from the keyboard and buffers the 'second

stage' of the keyboard input. Changed code slightly to reflect this.

[Lord Nightmare, Balrog]

 

-z9001 : added 2xpio, ctc, daisy-chain, beeper-sound, cassout

[Robbbert]

 

-v6809 : various video improvements. [Robbbert]

 

-abc80: Refactored legacy code, moved DOS ROMs to ABC bus DOS card,

added BASIC V1 dump, added ABC 890 bus expander device. [Curt Coder]

 

-abc80x: Refactored legacy code, cleaned up keyboard interface, added

ABC894 bus expander device, added ABC 55 keyboard for ABC 802.

[Curt Coder]

 

-vt100: add the GPO (aka VT125 mono board) roms and proms as a mix of

NO_DUMP and copies of the vk100 ones where identical [Lord Nightmare]

 

-vk100: further comment updates, got rid of LASTVRAM in favor of doing

a single read at the current nybble pointed to by the X and Y

registers. [Lord Nightmare]

 

-vk100: Implemented baud generator LUT for i8251, not hooked up yet;

added RTS callback which doesn't seem to work yet. [Lord Nightmare]

 

-vk100: Doing further vector rom tracing with a meter on the board

using the vt125 schematics as a guide, figured out what all the vector

rom pins do (except perhaps D LOAD). [Lord Nightmare]

 

-vip: Added VP-620 ASCII keyboard cable, VP-570 RAM expansion board,

and VP-575 bus expander board. [Curt Coder]

 

-plus4: Rewrite of the C16/Plus+4 driver with improved memory mapping

and cartridge support. Refactored the Commodore 1551 floppy drive to

connect to the expansion port. [Curt Coder]

 

-vk100: Documented all the inputs and enables of the RAS/ERASE prom

through tracing. Documented that the MSB bit of the SYNC prom is ...

SYNC. The VT125 Schematics were invaluable for this.

[Lord Nightmare, Al Kossow]

 

-sbc6510: Connected up the keyboard and added ay-3-8910 chip [Robbbert]

 

-vii: Fixing some warnings. Not 100% sure of the intended

functionality, but IRQ & IRQ_MASK & line seems probable and seems to

work. [MooglyGuy]

 

-c64: Fixed C1541 and FSD-2, added Dolphin DOS 2.0 and

Professional-DOS V1 hardware. [Curt Coder]

 

-plus4: Added SID card emulation. [Curt Coder]

 

-c64: Emulated the digital read circuitry of the Commodore 1541 disk

drive according to the long board schematics. This will allow

independent setting of the bitrate of incoming data and the sample

rate. Passing more advanced copy protections require a cycle exact

rewrite of the 6502 and VIA, but this is the first step toward proper

emulation. [Curt Coder]

 

-vip: Added VP-700 Tiny BASIC board. [ekeefe, Curt Coder]

 

-c64: Added support for per-byte speed zones in G64 images.

[Curt Coder]
