Good grief, have I really been hanging around here for 20 years? I was fresh out of high school when I joined.

Ahh well, here's to 20 more!

Played it a bit tonight and it's still slow, not surprised. I'm planning to isolate the 486SLC clock signal so I can increase it without altering the FM synthesizer pitch. If I can get it to 20MHz I'll be happy.

SIG X68000 / classicpc.org keyboard adapter...
Last post by bobrocks95 - May 07, 2024, 11:13:34 AM
One more thread and hopefully I'm done- I'm looking at getting a keyboard adapter from classicpc.org - https://classicpc.org/x68000%e3%82%b7%e3%83%aa%e3%83%bc%e3%82%ba%e3%81%b8ps2%e3%82%ad%e3%83%bc%e3%83%9c%e3%83%bc%e3%83%89%e3%82%92%e6%8e%a5%e7%b6%9a%e3%81%99%e3%82%8b%e5%a4%89%e6%8f%9b%e6%a9%9f/

However, certain X68000 keys, in particular XF2 and XF3, require Japanese-keyboard-exclusive keys to be pressed ("convert" and "don't convert" for kana input, to the left and right of the spacebar on a Japanese keyboard).

Are these keys usable in any way, or should I avoid the classicpc adapter and just make my own?  Or are there any other readily available options that have some sort of case or enclosure?  Fine with the soldering DIY for this one but I'd prefer it to not look so crappy sitting there exposed.

Thanks!

Having trouble finding a BlueSCSI V1. Any thoughts on Arananet's SCSI2SD Tiny?

Nice work! I have an FMT Marty with 486 CPU and Doc Brown disc drive emulator. I'll give this a try!

Good point.
Cost is very low si I give it a try, if it's too bad I'll order a better quality one.

Are those properly shielded though? You never know with aliexpress products. I guess since the cable length is limited interference might not be so bad even if the quality is poor.

Well I did Snatcher on the PC-88 last year, so it was only logical that I also do Policenauts on the PC-9821. Finally got around to it. This was an especially difficult and time-consuming video for me to make, so please check it out if you have the time!
