Where did you score the Matrix Display Software?

Here’s the setup at VCFMW

I’m bringing 3 to VCFMW with various options, f18a, tn-vdp, floppy controller, working 5.25” drives, GoTek drives and a variety of adapters. I’m curious what you learned from doing this, what went well, and what didn’t? What would you do differently if you did it again? How’d you handle network ...

I’ll second the Hyperkin, I like the dpad style one.

Did you make any progress with this? I get very similar results. I've built two boards (used the same Tang Nano though) and neither work, twice I got a NABU screen, but it never progressed. Mostly I get the tv vdp splash screen, sometimes a corrupted screen.

I am flashing with openfpgaloader on a ...

Update:

This is just weird. Took the NABU back to stock, no FDC, original ROM, TMS chip, works on cycle 2. Put in the tn_vdp and get inconsistent results. Sometimes it’ll show the vdp screen on the hdmi monitor, other times at power on it doesn’t, nor is the light on the nano on. Oddly at the same ...

Built up a vdp board, the V1 version, got it programmed, and it displays on the HDMI attached monitor (still connected usb). The NABU I’m testing it in has an FDC & serial board (both known working), patched ROM V14, and runs off both Cycle 2 and locally off CP/M via the GoTek.

I put the new vdp in ...

Ideas I’m full of…

It’d be neat to be able to take a NABU network adapter, have a board in it with a Pi running nabud (the easy part). Then, on the front of the adapter, have an OLED screen, decently sized, and a rotary encoder to select the channel config on nabud.

Well, after a month, at least 2 Digikey, 5 Amazon, 2 eBay, and 1 Mouser order, my FDC is alive.



Is it weird the first thing I wondered after seeing it work was “think a second one can go in there”.

No mono. That’s a different version that no longer exists. Do not install mono :)

There’s set by step instructions on the internet adapter download page. Scroll down and you’ll see the Linux installation instructions for ya

Also, do not use the desktop mode on the pi zero. Uninstall desktop or ...
