Yes, that part will work. Also, I recommend Garth's advice and switch from 74LS to 74HC parts.

I also recommend his suggestion to buy larger pin headers and then snap them apart to fit the correct size. You can buy two of these 2x36 headers (649-77313-122-72LF) for $4.58 and get rid of these:
2x3 headers 855-M22-2020705 2 $1.02 $2.04 J1 ROM OPTS & OPT2
2x5 pin header 649-77313-122-10LF 2 $0.59 $1.18 JP1 & OPT1
2x7 pin header 649-77313-101-14LF 4 $0.53 $2.12 P-1 to P-4
2x25 pin header - Expansion Port 517-929665-01-25-I 1 $3.50 $3.50 J12 Expansion Port

The 2x25 and 2 2x5's will fit on one and the rest will fit on the second.

@all, thanks for the suggestions. I've modified the parts list to contain the HC logic parts, and two 2x36 header pins. This reduced the price by about $4. My goal in compiling the parts list was to get a feel for the cost, and see if all the parts were available before I considered organizing a bulk order for the PCB. But I've noticed a problem with the 32 KB EEPROM:

http://www.mouser.com/ProductDetail/Atm ... NJX6vDw%3d

The price went up by a dollar and it is back ordered for eight weeks! It also looks like is the only parallel EEPROM in that size that Mouser carries.

After I started building this parts list, I heard from Jac Goudsmit that he still had Propeedle kits available (see http://propeddle.com/ ). I have a Propeller platform board and know how to program one, and because the Propeller chip acts as the EEPROM and address decoder, its fairly flexible for experimentation. So I ordered one and we'll see if I can get it to do what. I'll need to program the Propeller to simulate a 6551, and I'll need to add a 65c22.

It does feel a little like cheating to use a 32 bit MCU to control an 8 bit microprocessor. So depending upon how the Propeedle works out I may still build a 6502 SBC, so in any event here's the updated CSV:

I guess you didn't get the hint about using the code function to organize your list into a readable format. :lol:

BTW, you may have better luck in getting parallel EEPROMs from Jameco.

250ns 32Kx8 EEPROM in 28-pin DIP, $4.95 in singles: http://www.jameco.com/webapp/wcs/stores ... 1_74878_-1
same thing in 150ns, at $5.49 in singles: http://www.jameco.com/webapp/wcs/stores ... 1_74843_-1

Jameco might be a good place to get the pin headers too. They sell a gold-plated 80-pin (2x40 cat. no. 117197) for $1.25 in singles, or a tin-plated one (cat. no. 2120284) for $0.85. For things that don't go into harsh conditions, I have never had any problem with tin-plated ones, even after they've been in service for 20+ years; so while gold plating is nice, I don't insist on it. See the pin-header catalog page at http://www.jameco.com/Jameco/catalogs/c141/P57.pdf

I've never had much trouble with tinplate, provided the connector is removed and reinstalled every so often. Automobile manufacturers ran into trouble with tinplate connections back when they started to get electronics involved in engine control. We used to periodically unplug connectors while troubleshooting engine problems, just in case a flaky connection was in there. Many times, that was all that was required to get things working again. The adoption of gold plated connectors did a lot to eliminate those sorts of problems.

Guys --

I'm in the process of validating an updated version of Daryl's SBC2 that I re-drew in DipTrace. I've done a 4-board prototype run because I've made a bunch of random changes to the design to enhance it a bit. Functionally, it's the same, but I did the following: added a power jack, RS232 DE9 for the console, bypass capacitors, a reset switch, a power LED and I added a Commodore-compatible IEC interface (which takes up a lot of board real estate). The board size changed to Eurocard+ (6.325" x 4") from the current size. As a trade-off, I removed the 7805 regulator and made it a 5v only board. The picture I attached is of the prototype...in the final version I shifted the power jack and compressed the board a bit.

I have some changes to EhBASIC 2.22 in order to support the IEC interface...that's what I'm working on now. Hopefully in a few weeks I can finalize the design and code and make it available. There are a few good board shops that we use in the N8VEM project that I'm going to try. For the prototypes, I used AP Circuits' $33 each service. In low production volumes, the boards are kind of expensive. I expect that the other board service will be much cheaper.

There is a description of the board on my Web site: http://www.classiccmp.org/cini/6502proj.htm

Interesting project. I like your modifications to the board. Please keep us posted because I would be interested in buying a pcb or kit if you ever make one available.

Interesting.

You could further shrink the board by using PLCC44 packages with the 65C02 and 65C22. On average, such packages use about 60 percent of the boar real estate consumed by the PDIP equivalents.

True. The N8VEM group I belong to uses the ECB format for all of their cards (100mm x 160mm), so that's what I'm familiar with and I was able to get it close with PDIP chips (I'm off by about 0.32" on the length). I did not change the ordering of the expansion buss pinout from Daryl's design.

I can tell you that I carry mostly PDIP devices in my parts bins in my shop rather than PLCC. I'm sure it would be easy, other than creating custom library parts, to make a version of the board using PLCC devices for all four 65xx chips. I wanted to keep it simple by using PDIP parts that people would more likely have in their parts bins.

Let me make the library parts for DipTrace and see what a PLCC board would look like. Thanks for the suggestion.

Just a word of caution on the 65C51... your parts list is showing new stock from Mouser for the WDC part. These are the new ones with the xmit bit stuck on in the status register, i.e., they won't work with standard coding... polled or IRQ driven.

Well, I can say they caused me some grief and some time to figure it out. Here's a post that outlines it: viewtopic.php?f=4&t=2543

As far as I know, WDC hasn't released any new chips that correct the problem. A shame.... would be nice to run at 12+ MHz, but not with 6551 parts it would seem. I have one Synertek 6551 that runs reliably at 6MHz and an AMI that's solid at 4MHz.

I'm working on fitting a SCC2691 replacement... still a ways off due to lack of free time.

Just to add this slightly, based on the feedback, I'm going to work on a version of my board using PLCC for the CPU and VIAs but PDIP for the 6551. Hopefully that will free enough board real estate to accommodate an on-board SD2IEC interface.

More to come...

All --

Latest board plot is attached. I added a 2x3 header for an SD2IEC device and removed the barrel-style power connector in favor of a USB Mini-B. I moved some things around but have kept it to 6.375" x 4". I'm still working on a PLCC version but DipTrace doesn't have a 44-pin PGA socket footprint -- only SMD.

The Serial IEC works fine and now I'm working on building Commodore BASIC 4.0 disk commands into BASIC itself. I've got STAT and CATALOG done. The others will be more difficult since they have string parameters.

More to come!
