Zaccaria Invaders Freeplay
11/05/08 in: Website
A new
page has been added with a software modification to add a freeplay
mode to the Zaccaria version of Space Invaders (called "The
Invaders"). This machine was prolific throughout the UK and Europe
around 1980 and well beyond. The page has been added to the "Misc
Stuff" section of the site.
9100 Adapter update
Okay, as
promised, v1.1 of the 9100 keyboard adapter is here. Quite a lot
has changed in this version so please read through the project page
thoroughly. New in this version is a new USA keyboard layout,
circuit compatibility with in-circuit programming and debugging
and, in order to facilitate this, the PIC has changed (although I
have maintained circuit compatibility with the old one).

9100 Keyboard adapter progress
v1.1 is
on the way...
Just for anyone that's keeping an eye out for this, the source code has been recovered / rebuilt and I now have a US key map as well. I've also modified the circuit so the reset line from the 9100 is no longer directly connected to the /MCLR line of the 16F84A. Read More...

Fluke 9100 Keyboard Adapter
After
months of inactivity I'm back with an interesting little project
for anyone that owns a Fluke 9100 digital test system. I was
recently able to get one of these from the US but as with so many
of them, although it came with the video card (many don't) there
was no sign of it's long lost programmers keyboard. Not to be put
off, I set about making an adapter to allow me to use a standard PC
keyboard with a 9100 to PS2 interface. Check out all the details in
the projects section.

Computers, games, apples, and big cats...
Okay, so
what exactly have I been doing lately if all the arcade stuff is
packed away? Well, this has been going on for a few months now and
to start off with I found myself actually watching the TV,
something I don't normally do too much of. Stargate Atlantis had
started back up, as had A Town Called Eureka. One afternoon we
stumbled across a catch up weekend of Heroes entirely by accident
out of boredom and that quickly got added to the list, but there's
only so much TV that someone who doesn't normally watch it can
take!

Moving house sucks!
Well,
what can we say? The UK house purchase system just plain and simply
doesn't work!! We've been trying to move for a while now. Compared
to some people we know of our problems have been minimal too!

A date with Ms Pacman
25/06/07 in: Repairs
Been
doing a huge amount of board repairs lately and on the whole I've
been too busy with it to be able to document them and put them up
on the website. This evening however I fixed a Ms PacMan board and
figured I'd write it up while it was fresh on my mind! It's "Pacman
3" on the left.
