PCB for the (Z80) adapter board #24

Closed scott8 closed 2 years ago

scott8 commented 2 years ago

Dave, I'd like a PCB for the (Z80) adapter board. Do you still have these?

Thanks, Scott

hoglet67 commented 2 years ago

Looking at my spreadsheet, I should have 3 boards left.

Where abouts in the world are you?

Do you already have the FPGA board? I don't believe these are available at the moment.

scott8 commented 2 years ago

David, I think the new alias @." is not working. If you'll email me directly at @., I'll show you what I found. I don't want to put the location out on the github web site so I'd like you to email me privately.

Thanks, Scott m: 602-309-8216

Will this board work?

You email address above has been obfuscated.

I also don't see the attached imaged, but the description matches this board: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32887046050.html

Sorry no, that won't work, because the connector pinouts are different.

scott8 commented 2 years ago

That's the one. What's it take to make that work? It appears to be the only game in town.

The adapter PCB board would need to be redesigned to match the form factor/connector pinout, and then the FPGA pinout (the .UCF file) would likely need to be updated as well. It's alot of work, and by that time there are no guarantees the FPGA board will still be available.

It's a mugs game at this point! I'm not doing any more work on this project until the situation stabllises.

I don't mean to be dismissive, but there is just not enough information to tell.

You need to get hold of:

To be honest, it's very unlikely that you'll find an exact match to the eepizza board, unless someone has literally cloned the design (which I don't think has happened).

This issue here is that the FPGA in pretty much unobtainable at the moment. Anyone who has stocks is selling the FPGA alone for ~$100. Once the FPGA becomes available again, then it's likely that the eepizza board will become available.

Have you reached out to eepizza? Depending on how much you are wiling to pay, he may be able to source parts to make a small number of boards.

hoglet67 commented 2 years ago

My only other suggestion is to make a wanted post on the stardot forum. I know several folk there bought this board and are possibly not using it. Again, depending on you much you are prepared to pay, someone may be willing to move theirs on.

scott8 commented 2 years ago

Thanks. I understand. I have 6 of these: XILINX XC9536 VQG44AM1049 F4336248A 10C

I don't know if they are the right chip. I emailed the maker of the GODIL board to find out.

I will get on the forum and put up a wanted post as you suggested.

Thanks, Scott

No, they are not the right chip.

Those are small Xilinx CPLDs.

The FPGA on the eepizza is an XC6SLX9-2TQG144C

The GODIL is irrelvant to this, that was an even older version of the ICE.

scott8 commented 2 years ago

Please send me your email address. I have something to send you that I think you're going to want to see, regarding the public domain CP/M license.

Thanks, Scott

Sorry, I try not to share my email address...

If you want me to see it, then you can post it here, or on stardot.

scott8 commented 2 years ago

No problem.

See the attached PDF. Post this far and wide.

Happy Trails, Scott

No. It apparently won't go through. That's why I wanted your email address.

I have access to one a few. I need to discuss details with you. Please email me at @.*** so we can discuss this offline.

Scott,

It's not economic for me to post boards to the US.

This project is open source, and the gerbers for the Z80 board are linked to here: https://github.com/hoglet67/AtomBusMon/wiki/Z80-CPU-Adapter

It would be cheaper for you to order a batch of 5 boards directly from JLCPCB.

regards

Dave
