Someone has made an FPGA version of the Tandy CoCo 3 and plans to release the source code. With a little work the 6847 graphics modes could be extracted and...
Field Programmable Gate Array http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Field-programmable_gate_array Basically a programmable logic device. Usually the application is...
Not sure if this link has been posted - its a pic of the CoCo 3 FPGA. Pretty damn impressive A great project for fooling around with the hardware side of...
The project uses a standard FPGA developer board and the base VZ should be easy to implement since there's already source for an FPGA TRS-80 Model I. The...
... Thanks. I'm bidding on one now but it's far from complete and I have no idea if it even works. But the VZ looks easy to fix if it's not working... all...
BTW, I'd rather lose an auction to one of the people here than some "Computer Museum" where the machine will be photographed for bragging rights and probably...
Well, the cost of the machine on ebay + shipping to the states is nearing half the cost of the FPGA dev board... so I'm just going to bite the bullet and learn...
Hi James, are you in the United States? How did you come to be a VZ fan, I didn't think the VZ200 got to the USA, or am I wrong? I would say try looking at...
... Off the top of my dopey old memory.... The VZ-200/Laser 210 was sold as the Texet TX8000a both in the UK and for a very short period in the states. Forget...
Pretty sure it was the "Fellow" in Finland. I never knew any of this until this group started and links popped up on the internet, back in the day I thought...
... Yes, I'm in the US. There were a limited number of "Laser" machines shipped to the USA but I think only a handful of NTSC machines still exist and I only...
On Wed, 05 Sep 2007 05:31:39 +0100, David Maunder ... The VZ-200 and its clones never reached the U.K. I think. I've never seen a 'Texet' of any kind and I've...
Definitely was sold in the UK under the Texet label according to the research. http://www.gondolin.org.uk/hchof/reviews/yc-texet.html Given the review I am not...
... Well, given how bad the review was they may have killed off the release. There's certainly not much else on the internet about them apart from the two...
Well, there were definitely several Laser models released. I'm guessing the Texet was just a rebadged Laser a separate company was going to distribute as...
Thought I would post this here for interests sake. http://www.ti994.com/demonstration/ Remember there is an old Steve Ciarcia article on hooking up the...
It has already been done. Ever heard of MSX? BTW there are a couple videos on youtube that demonstrate the video modes of the Ti chip. It would be a big...
Oopsy! My fault, got some cross-talk there. My comment "Cool. So who's gonna have a crack at this for the VZ?" was in relation to the simple task of the site...
