- 91 11:12 PM EclaireXL Developer: RE: SIO devices which use clockin/clock out?
- I thought about that but these are pretty rare and somewhat valuable so I am reluctant to mod it.
- 91 07:27 AM EclaireXL Developer: RE: SIO devices which use clockin/clock out?
- Okay, so my Alien Group Voice Box is not going to work then, it is an earlier version without the external power jack.
- 91 03:28 AM EclaireXL Developer: RE: SIO devices which use clockin/clock out?
- So does pin 12 of the SIO jack carry +12v as it does on the 400/800?
- 91 08:58 AM EclaireXL Developer: RE: F10 and cartridge selected behavior
- Thanks Panos, that works. What do you think about having it automatically unload an existing cartridge if a new one is selected? Seems a little more intuitive that way.
- 91 03:15 AM EclaireXL Developer: RE: Custom keyboard designs for EclaireXL
- Thank you. It is fun doing these, although they do take a while to put together. I'm going to have the 400 set made as soon as the Eclaire keyboard layout is finalized and set in stone. I want to make sure everything looks good and li...

- Not that I know of, although that thought did cross my mind as well.
- 91 08:17 PM EclaireXL Developer: RE: Custom keyboard designs for EclaireXL
- My plan is to have keycaps made at the WASD site. I verified that they can do full-color (like the 400 design) printing on the keycaps as well as monochrome (like the XE design). I posted in another topic some keyboard changes/additions ...

- Hello,
I am finalizing my first WASD keyboard design for ISO keyboard and I have a few ideas I'd like to run past you guys...
1. Is there a key that works as a keyboard fire button? If not, would it be possible to make the key (|\... - I notice when I select a .CAR file from the system menu, it works the first time but it does not seem to survive a F10 cold boot and will boot into BASIC instead of the selected CAR. In fact it seems you have to do a physical reset for i...

- 91 09:50 PM EclaireXL Developer: RE: Anybody interested in some case badges?
- Yes on both Panos, that is the company I am thinking about using to make the case badges. The first design I am working on for the WASD keyboard is based on the Atari 400 keyboard which is about halfway complete so I should have somethin...

- I am going to have some case badges for the EclaireXL made up. I am working on a couple of different designs, anybody interested?

- Foft, you mentioned the serial port was ready to connect to a PC... can the serial port also be used as an R: device to interface RS232 serial devices?

- 91 09:39 AM EclaireXL Developer: RE: v8 Core - First NTSC Game Tests
- It's the version on the SDCARD.zip file in the files section.
- 91 09:06 AM EclaireXL Developer: RE: v8 Core - First NTSC Game Tests
- I tried a different power supply and seem to be having better luck getting these to run, I have now been able to successfully load and run Castle Crisis, Boulder Dash, Dig Dug, Pac-Man, and Popeye. YAY! Of the list above, only Bombjack s...
- 91 08:28 AM EclaireXL Developer: RE: v8 Core - First NTSC Game Tests

- 91 12:31 AM EclaireXL Developer: RE: SIO devices which use clockin/clock out?
- I have an Alien Group speech synthesizer which I think uses the clock lines. I'll see if I can get things up and running enough to test this.
- 91 12:29 AM EclaireXL Developer: RE: v9 core available
- Is there directions somewhere on how to flash the board?
Thanks

- Back from holiday so I should have some more time to spend on the project. I ordered the switch Panos recommended so that should arrive within the next few days. I think I am going to mount the daughter board to the rear of the main boa...
