Nice work! Presumably the FDC sits at 0x0100 so the built-in RSC-FORTH routines can talk to it?

I've gotten it running, and reverse engineered the bodge board enough to replace it with a GAL (I've written the PALASM but have not yet dropped it in, it'll require one jumper modification). This board was also largely the inspiration for the R65X1Q SBC!

Final follow-up, the seller did send the chip missing from the initial order, and the one received is also genuine and not remarked.

Seller is going to ship the one they forgot, so I feel pretty OK recommending this one if folks want to grab a FORTH chip.

Is there a PCB to plug these into? Or are you planning on making one?

I have built a board around this chip, I posted some information at http://forum.6502.org/viewtopic ...

I'm working on a wire wrap project using the first one I'd gotten from a friend, a clock project using ...

These finally arrived! I tested them in my little R65F11 project board and they work; however, I ordered three and the seller only shipped two. I've contacted them to see if I can get the third shipped to me, as these are nice quality chips that haven't been "refurbished" (blacktopped or walnut ...

Very cool! I can understand wanting to use a VT-220 instead of emulation on the SE/30 -- you do end up having to use a LK201 though :P The Scholar definitely has some features that makes it nicer to use with a dumb terminal, too.

TangentDelta has been working on disassembling the ROM, and it's ...

Not my listing, and they're coming from China so who knows, but:

I've ordered three for myself, I'll test them in one of my projects once they come in, if folks want to wait on that before they pay. Usually I won't buy ICs from China, but these never come up!

Wouldn't be surprised! A friend who used to run a printer repair business said he's seen a lot of Rockwell QUIPs in old line printers, too.

Looks like BBCode IMG tags are off. What's up with that?

I picked up two of these last year because the lot came with the power adapter, which most of these seem to be missing. It's a triple-voltage wall wart (pinout in the writeup). I was expecting just another 2400 BPS non-Hayes command set ...

ITI Audio/Sontec is known for world-class analog mastering equipment, but in the 80s they designed and prototyped a FORTH computer based on the Rockwell R6500 series CPUs:

Here's a picture of the last assembled stage of prototyping:

I don't know if anyone has ported FLEX, but it should certainly be possible. With the CP/M versions, they of course boot in 6502 mode, but more interestingly, kick over to 6502 mode for the disk I/O routines! On the OSI, the floppy controller is very...primitive. It's basically a 6850 ACIA and some ...

Unfortunately mine is not one of yours. It's a Rev G.

And it has some seriously bad soldering on the underside that I am going to fix at some point....

Yeah, that's what I've got now, a Commodore branded Rev G. Works the same, and no ROR bug like you get with some of the no-rev boards...but also ...
