Testing testing...

Testing is going well, I have most of the boards assembled now. I am starting to mail people who have already contacted me, and then I will see how many boards are left. I am about to order some more, so there should be plenty available. The first core to be released will be the Amiga AGA, but there are still...

The atx-power board connects the power supply in a mini-itx box to the Replay board, and has...

Replay power fixed
Wed, 2 Feb 2011

The replacement regulators work well and solve the power off problem. I've been testing the luma trap response with burst test patterns generated in the FPGA. The hardware is working well, but I am starting to think the trap may not be worth it for retro-computing. It softens the edges of the characters a little, but does reduce the colour...
