Alternative designs for a keyboard interface?
I use a PIC16F microcontroller. Schematics and PIC code in my HBC-56 repo. https://github.com/visrealm/hbc-56

After Wozmon I want to create a game - 6502
If you're keen to add a VDP as u/production-dave suggested, I have schematics and a bunch of code in my HBC-56 GitHub repo
-
using an atmega micro-controller for managing multiple interrupts?
Schematics are here https://github.com/visrealm/hbc-56/tree/master/schematics/6502

TSM9918A | Questions asked by a friend without Reddit
The schematics for my TMS9918A display card are in my github repo. It uses a single SRAM instead of the original DRAMs. The circuitry between the TMS9918A and the TV is just a simple transistor follower circuit (shown in the schematic): https://github.com/visrealm/hbc-56/tree/master/schematics/tms9918

Small PS2 adapter
So this is really just cobbled together from this project by u/visrealm https://github.com/visrealm/hbc-56

Is my new second hand ps/2 keyboard broken?
I've actually just ordered the perix perrino 409 that sends the AA after self test. The HP keyboard definitely doesn't seem to be working. My plan is to interface it with a PIC microcontroller by copying the setup here: https://github.com/visrealm/hbc-56. from u/visrealm

6522 Shift register?
It looks like a shift register can be used in connecting a NES controller but likely isn't the full story. Check out u/visrealm's HBC build. He uses separate shift register chip to connect to a NES but maybe the 6522 can be used in a similar way.

After watching Matt Heffernan's Mandelbrot Battle Royale, I thought I'd give it a go on my HBC-56 (65C02 @ 3.6864MHz + TMS9918A). Four modes: 32x24, 64x48, 64x192 and 256x192 (sort of). . I still need to work on improving color bleeding in the final Graphics II mode. A bit of fun.
It's Assembly. https://github.com/visrealm/hbc-56/tree/master/code/6502/mandlebrot

4 cards down, 1 to go. No real issues since the R/W switch on the CPU card.
I have most schematics, software, emulator, etc on github. https://github.com/visrealm/hbc-56
-
Five new cards arrived today. Hopefully I didn't make too many mistakes...
These are for a 6502 build. https://github.com/visrealm/hbc-56

Retro not Vintage Week entry, my Z80 RC2014 Pro with floppy drive, YM2149, CF, Wifi, etc.
The backplane is the RC2014(TM) Pro backplane, a 12 slot backplane. ROM/BIOS: RomWBW https://github.com/wwarthen/RomWBW - I usually run ZP/M, but as noted on Github I can also boot other OSes: CP/M 2.2, ZSDOS, CP/M 3, NZ-COM, and more
- ROMWBW - UART I/O?
- CP/Mish is an open source sort-of-CP/M distribution for Z80
-
Did CP/M also run on Zilog Z180 or Z280?
Also, a very nice kit for a Z180-based system using RomWBW
What are some alternatives?
