It should take a little less than two weeks for them to arrive. During that time I’ll continue work on moving my 8B system from a temporary chassis to one of Corey’s custom chassis.
I started on the read card in December, so these two cards took about 7 months to do. I guess I might be slowing down a little bit. On the other hand, I’ve had a lot of other things in progress at the same time.
Assumming that these two boards work out, this leaves only the keyboard and the 2 oscilloscope cards left to do to complete the entire SCELBI board set. The keyboard and scope analog cards should go pretty fast, but the scope digital card is a fairly complex double wide card, so it will probably take a while.
Really incredible work – I’m looking forward to seeing the oscilloscope peripheral in action – I’ve never seen a working one!
Jack,
Outside a couple SCELBI employees and possibly a person or two at the CHM, you are the only one I know of, that has even seen an SCELBI oscilloscope peripheral in person, working or not. We will have to write new software, as no one has come up with original listings or PROMS. That is going to be a fun project. I’d have done it before the cassette stuff, but there a number of people especially interested in seeing MEA running on the SCELBI 8B and the cassette tape is integrated into the way the assembler works.
