Happy new year to you and everyone on this forum! (I hope it's a good one )

Cheers, Happy New Year friends!
It's been a long time

It has...last time you posted was nearly two years ago.  You’ve been scarce around here, scarcer than unicorns. 

Haha, nice to see your project is still running BDD!
I was surprised to find out today 1 of my older video boards still work after a long move. It's part of the reason I posted. I moved to OH last November and am finally getting everything organized. Today I came across a few of my own creations and 1 even still works!
This past year I've been working on the speaker side of home speaker arrays. They sound sooo good incredible dynamic range... I think it's time to delve into the electronics side of things.

Thanks for noticing.  I’m busy putting the final touches on V1.4.1 before send the Gerbers off to JLCPCB.  I’ve been running V1.3 for more than four years and with some heavy-duty software stuff coming up, decided I needed to increase available RAM—V1.3 only has 128KB.  That prompted me to come up with a new design POC unit, which will have 256KB.
Unless something is dependent on a battery and that battery has run down, no reason why it shouldn’t work after a long period of down time.  A couple of weeks ago, I dragged out an ancient WYSE 60 terminal to check something and despite having been in storage for over a decade, the old green-screen (actually white) relic powered up just fine.

Notable exceptions are old Commodore 64s and 128s, whose PLAs are famous for developing amnesia.
If I ever did something like that, I’m sure my wife would be in an uproar.    She sometimes wigs out when I’m doing my Captain Nemo thing on my digital keyboard.
