Bringing up multicomp stuff on RetroShield6809 #8

Hi Neal,

Would it be possible if I reuse some of your OS files on my open-source hw project? I didn't see a license file, so wanted to check with you.

I started an Arduino project called "RetroShield for Arduino Mega":

www.8bitforce.com/projects/retroshield www.gitlab.com/8bitforce/retroshield-hw www.gitlab.com/8bitforce/retroshield6809

Basically I hooked up a 6809 to Arduino Mega and emulate all system hw in Arduino except the real processor executes code. Similar to your fpga design. I ported the Buggy monitor code that I modified for my older Simon6809 project. Next step is to port the Flex09. Ultimate goal is to use SDCard as HDD and a VGA/Keyboard shield for Arduino for a stand-alone computer :)

If you like to bring up the OS together, I'll be up for that too.

Thank you, Erturk

Hi Erturk, the stuff on my multicomp pages comes from a lot of different places so I could not specify a license. Also, some of it (like the Flex binaries) does not belong to me, it is just "abandonware".

Having said that, yes: you are welcome to use any of the files for your project. I had read about your "Retroshield" project on one of the forums, but it is only now that I realise that you also created "simon6809" which I read about long ago.

Ever since I read about https://hackaday.io/project/159973-z80-mbc2-4ics-homemade-z80-computer I have thought about doing a 6809 version, so I am pleased that you are doing it.

FLEX should be straightforward to port, and I hope that the guide on my WIKI helps you through some of the steps. I do have 2 63B08E chips in the drawer so I will add this to my list of "things to build". Let me know if you get stuck on anything.

Neal.

Great, thanks Neal. Wiki will be super helpful. You put allot of work into it. What is your address? I will send you pcbs for those two 6309. Don't let them sit idle. Plus you can help me when I get stuck :)You can email me at erturkk at 8bitforce dot Com. Enjoy your weekend, Erturk On Aug 24, 2019 7:17 AM, Neal Crook notifications@github.com wrote:Hi Erturk, the stuff on my multicomp pages comes from a lot of different places so I could not specify a license.
