I have posted a Netronics COSMAC ELF II for sale on Ebay. This is from a kit that I built as a teenager, and have had since. I was a bit suprised to see it...
Lee, I guess that I was referring to full-screen editors that spoil us all. Character editors can be coded to run quickly. The old CP/M editor can edit very...
Hello everyone, I have a question about the ELF IIs video output. I've posted a link to a photo of the ELF video output that is distorted horizontally. My ...
Nice Elf II. I used to have one of those with a 4k ram board and my own cassette interface and pseudo-sound board using Q. I didn't have the Giant board or the...
Ok, If my math is working right we have enough interest to break that 10 board limit. Have we worked out whether Kat will do the boards for us? The boards I ...

Hello All, Thought I would tell, about some more about my master ROM code, That Mike mentioned earlyer. I had set it up to work with a 1 meg Rom. And the...
What if we borrow an idea from Mike and build a "mezzanine" card for the ELF 2K that plugs into the existing SRAM and EPROM sockets. This approach has a few...
There we go. That's what I was suggesting yesterday with a daughter card that uses the bus as well as plugging into dip headers where the RAM/ROM sockets are...
... Well... as an IF author and long-time Z-machine interpreter buff, the size of 512K was arrived at because a) I had some 512K SRAMs lying around from a...
What exactly is the purpose for having more memory? If it is to simulate a disk drive, maybe it would be better to use serial memory chips. For instance, a...
... Ooopss. Sorry - I must have missed that suggestion. Yes, you're right that the expansion bus would have to "pass thru" the memory card so that we could...
Lee, It sounds like fun to experiment with the serial devices at such a low cost and I would like to put a few on my next order. Have you actually tried any of...

I've been watching this thread happening, and personally can't see a use for the banks switching myself, but I was thinking about it this evening and have a ...
Bank switching just the lower half (16K) of the EPROM is an excellent idea. It's probably the best compromise of all the solutions discussed so far. It's...
You are describing pretty close to my original design, which placed the page frame from 8000-BFFF, which in essence provides for 48k of ram, with the top 16k...
Hi Guys, It looks like we have enough confirmed orders to break the 10 board minimum and we're ready to do an initial run. Before we go ahead I wanted to make...
