After dinner I will find a power supply for the MIO. First I have to confirm it works on real hardware, and then yes, I will let you guys know if it works with CORE11 ... Stephen

Nir, I do have a 256kB MIO. Two issues. First I don't know if it works, as I don't believe I've ever even turned it on since I bought it. Second... Stephen

ST 09:26 PM EclaireXL Bug #44: CORE 11 - Bug in PBI - EclaireXL will not boot with IDE2+ Is connected and when Turbo Freezer connected goes directly to Cart EMU not main screen: I am also confirming that with Core 11, the exlaire will not boot with IDE2+ Rev C. A video signal is generated as my monitor picks up the 50Hz signal via HDMI, but when pressing F12 no text is visible.

Definitely interested. I haven't decided on a case for this yet. Stephen

Just wanted to say that so far core9 has been working fine for me. Stephen

ST 09:03 PM EclaireXL Developer: RE: v9 core available: How would these new modes be used? I read the message about the repurposed register $D400 to activate it, but I mean how would the pixels be addressed? With memory access being contiguous, I guess the code would all be the same and you... Stephen

ST 10:20 PM EclaireXL Developer: RE: v9 core available: Wow - that's absolutely perfect! I don't think I'd even request it in the HDMI/VGA resolutions. My real machines (I am in NTSC land) are all running via s-video, so I so everything to avoid it. It's just in the rare case I use a game ... Stephen
ST 09:46 PM EclaireXL Developer: RE: v9 core available: Thanks - the version I found worked perfectly the 1st time. I have upgraded to the v9 core. I can now switch into NTSC mode fine. I have a question about artifacting. Is this supported at all? If so, is it only through composite? N... Stephen
ST 09:27 PM EclaireXL Developer: RE: v9 core available: Wow - sorry, I'm new to this hardware stuff :) QuartusII download center is down this weekend for maintenance, but I managed to find v13 which I think has CycloneV support on a university page. I'll give that a shot. Stephen
ST 09:13 PM EclaireXL Developer: RE: v9 core available: Scratch that - I found the files I need. The version of the Quartus II software I am using is 11.1 sp1, Build 216. Stephen
ST 09:11 PM EclaireXL Developer: RE: v9 core available: I am having several issues. First of all, I don't seem to be able to find the files for flashing. Second, when I tried the v8.jic I previously downloaded, I select the file. The Quartus II software gives me the error code "Error (2100... Stephen

ST 02:14 AM EclaireXL Developer: Board safely arrived in the USA: I got to test a few things this evening. I was amazed at the clarity of the video signal via HDMI. I was also very happy to see that PAL blending works nicely. BugBiter (on AtariAge) created a great 256 colour image viewer and it look... Stephen
ST 02:09 AM EclaireXL Developer: RE: Which case are you getting?: When this board is installed in a mini-itx case, is there a way that the front power switch on the case can toggle power to the board? Or do we still need to use the toggle switch on the main PCB? Stephen
