Closed CptnRoughnight closed 9 months ago

CptnRoughnight commented 1 year ago

Hi,

can you pls add support for the Foenix Retro Systems (https://c256foenix.com). These are interesting machines, my C256jr will arrive in the next few weeks, so I can support with testing.

Foenix Retro Systems has several different computers in its lineup but the main focus is the F256 (formerly called the C256Jr when it was in development). The F256 comes in 2 flavors, the F256Jr and F256K, and utilizes a 65c02 but is also drop-in compatible with a modern 65c816. The differences are the form factor and audio. The "Jr" is the no frills version with a single SN76489 and two empty SID sockets on a mini-ITX motherboard while the "K" has dual SN76489, dual emulated SIDs (Gideon) and a YMF262 OPL3 chip enclosed in a keyboard case.

Well.. after having forgotten about this request, I managed to add support for the Foenix today in TRSE. I'll add a couple of tutorials and start work on some units (based on https://github.com/pweingar/F256Manual/tree/main/examples), but I'd appreciate if I could have some technical support on how the vicky works!
