22.07.2021 - Exploring 1982's Commodore B128-80 aka CBM 610 - new Video from '8-Bit Show And Tell'
Commodore News - cascade64.de - external linkRight as Commodore was launching the Commodore 64 in 1982, they released another machine with 128K of RAM, 80 column display, 2 MHz CPU, a SID chip, an extended keyboard with numeric keypad.

22.07.2021 - Found! The Lost Lemmings Disk [Tech Nibble] - new video from 'RMC'
Commodore News - cascade64.de - external linkOne of the favourite parts of exploring and restoring old systems is finding software that hasn't been seen before, and isn't archived even on the furthest corners of the internet.

22.07.2021 - 'Amiga 2000 EATX PCB' revision 1.2 finished
Commodore News - cascade64.de - external linkThe purpose of this project is to develop an open source Amiga 2000 PCB in the EATX form factor, an ATX variant that allows slightly deeper PCBs. There are one-to-one board replacement projects for the Amiga 2000, but none to change the layout to meet current form factor standards. In addition, the Amiga 2000 made use of connectors and custom parts that are no longer commercially manufactured. This often requires parts to be pulled from existing machines. As such, this project will make use of only actively supported components when possible. New in Rev. 1.2: - Fixed traces on the keyboard connector (error on the C= schematic), - Added missing _COPCFG trace, - Deleted some extra traces that were not needed, - Added HSYNC/COMPSYNC selection jumper, - Cleaned up parts of the schematics, - Widened U801 footprint (RTC62423 is wider than the standard SOIC package), - Added support for 1 and 2 MB Kickstart ROMs (512k still supported), - Added some space around the external ports...they were crowded
