- FO 07:22 PM EclaireXL Developer: RE: XC12 power usage?
- On a related note Ijor, did you see the issue about the voltage level of 5V USB supplies. I checked a few and they are not great, which causes touch tablet level issues. http://www.64kib.com/redmine/issues/47
- FO 07:19 PM EclaireXL Developer: RE: SIO devices which use clockin/clock out?
- So... any Indus GTs out there to try? I guess if its just counting clock pulses to check baud it will work even if my timing isn't quite correct.

- Yeah I've so far not done anything on my holiday. I was thinking I'd have more time ... but in fact I have less time!
- FO 06:59 PM EclaireXL Developer: RE: Which case are you getting?
- Yeah those both seem large. This is the one Panos and I bought: https://www.minipc.de/en/catalog/il/1226
It should fit in any standard mini-ITX case. The standard mini ITX IO area is actually as defined by micro ATX. Note that there i...

- FO 09:06 PM EclaireXL Bug #56: Galaxian Cartridge crash
- This works on the latest core I'm using (lets call it v15 - address decoder rework!)
- FO 09:04 PM EclaireXL Address decoding rewrite - tricky, tricky!
- So I decided to rewrite the address decoding and priority access to fix the timing issues. Currently the 'address decoder' has a load of random stuff in it. Multiple bus masters come in (6502, dma and antic) and it chooses who has priori...

- FO 08:14 PM EclaireXL Feature #55 (New): Replace main CPU
- I really find the stack based zpu annoying to debug. Also as its setup the rom is full.
Consider replacing with something newer, also with gcc support, such as https://github.com/SpinalHDL/VexRiscv.

- FO 08:21 PM EclaireXL Developer: RE: Relocate that cartridge slot - Cartridge slot extender available to order.
- Do you know how to use Eagle? The free version is good enough and its not that hard. You could load the existing sub-board as a base schematic. Then order somewhere like this: http://dirtypcbs.com/store/pcbs
- FO 08:11 PM EclaireXL 917k's setup!
- I'm sure you've already seen Steve's great setup, but if not go and see here. Very nice work:-)

- FO 09:47 PM EclaireXL Bug #25: F10 Hard Reset Ignore inserted cartridge (Core v7)
- This is the last thing remaining for V15. In order to do it (simply) I decided to allow off PBI access from turbo mode and zpu. That seems to work now, except its failing timing. I think I need to plumb the internal freezer in differentl...
