Schematics? #48

Open thetechknight opened 2 months ago

thetechknight commented 2 months ago

Where are the schematics for this particular card?

I am looking to figure out how to adapt this stuff to proprietary XT hardware such as the Toshiba series laptops, but I dont see any schematics available to determine which signals are used and not used.

Thanks.

They haven't open sourced the schematics because it's a cash grab.

@chadr I worked on Mod Master XT during 10 years and did no money at all with it. Source is published. I worked 2 years on the PicoMEM, if you add the cost of all the boards it emulate it is more than 200€. If I count the nb of hours spent on it, I am not sure it is a cash grab like you say....

@thetechknight Hi,

I don't release the schematics by now of course to keep control on the produced boards mainly for a support reason.

I may release the schematics of the Current PicoMEM Version when I have Pico2 design.

If you are motivated to do the design for the Toshiba, you are welcome to the Pico discord server and discuss about it.
