ZOE rev 2.0 Inty (Mattel Intellivision) RGB Interface.

Alcune informazioni di questa revisione:

• Il cavo flat che collega lo zoccolo maschio IDC DIP 10+10 al connettore femmina IDC 10+10 e’ lungo circa 15cm (nella foto sono: 20cm)
• Il cavo che collega i 7 connettori dupont alla presa da pannello femmina DIN 8 poli e’ lungo 30cm (nella foto sono: 20cm)
• Il cavo video con connettore SCART maschio da un capo e DIN maschio 8 poli dall’altro e’ lungo 2 metri.
• Il cavo audio con connettore dupont da un capo e a saldare dall’altro e’ lungo 20cm.
• La basetta ZOE va fissata con 3 supporti bioadesivi.
• LED di stato.
• Migliorata uscita audio, ci sono un po’ meno di rumori di fondo.

La presa da pannello femmina DIN 8 poli puo’ essere posizionata, previo foro, in qualsiasi punto. Io consiglio di utilizzare il foro uscita RF, rimuovendo il modulatore RF che dopo la modifica non è più utilizzabile.

Questa modifica come la precedente funziona SOLO su console Mattel Intellivision dotate di chip LM1886 (D/A Video Matrix Converter). Esempio: PAL/SECAM ma non UK/NTSC (USA). Per avere la massima certezza aprire la console e controllare.

Per tutto il resto dei collegamenti / rimozione LM1886 / disassemblaggio console si puo’ consultare la documentazione della versione precedente.

Presto disponibile per la vendita.

Jean-François DEL NERO (la persona che sta dietro lo sviluppo del Floppy emulator HxC SD) ha recentemente rilasciato una versione del firmware HxC compatibile con il chip STM32 utilizzato nel Floppy Drive Gotek.

Questo significa che possiamo godere di quasi tutte le features che il firmware HxC supporta anche per l’economico Floppy Drive Gotek.

Il bootloader per convertire il floppy drive Gotek in HxC compatibile va acquistato sul sito di HXC 2001 inviando un’email a Jean-François DEL NERO. Il prezzo del bootloader e’ di 10 euro una tantum per ogni Gotek che si vuole aggiornare/convertire. Gli aggiornamenti successivi del software sono gratuti e possono essere fatti da chiavetta USB.
