Hi Vincent, that's the tutorial I used myself to get started. Btw the MACH9 project runs now on my 6809 MECB and I've started making a command list document for it.

Hi Vincent, sorry to hear you are having problems. Although minicom seems to be the default linux terminal emulator and works very well, I find it a PITA to use its user interface. I much prefer GTKTerm as it has some advantages for me, it lets me know when the USB serial adapter isnt conected and ...

Hi Vincent, although I learnt 68008 assembler as one of the first micros I ever used I have not written any for probably more than forty years. Looking at it again just now remind of how neat it is. I'd be tempted to wait until you can get a simple monitor working with serial I/O as an initial ...

Hi Vincent, welcome onboard. I think the MECB is a very suitable host for recreating systems. I'm not familiar with the Thompson, it will be interesting to see what you devise. Best regards, David.

Hi, The new boards should add a lot of otherwise missing flexibility to MECB, I'll be interested to see what you come up with out of all the possibilities existing for both memory and storage options. Ive been working on a lower density storage option this week playing with a paper tape punch and ...

It's taken a while but now have the new Tuscan board operational, albeit only under control from romwbw at present. The limitation is because I haven't yet managed to get the address trampoline working in the z80 pld, due mainly by lack of knowledge in pld design.

I have an external keyboard, dot ...

Greetings Paul, thanks for posting your informative articles, I enjoyed reading them
I need to get a better understanding of pld design and programming. I'm pleased to see you have a simple way to program the larger devices since not having anything to do this has put me off exploring them.
I'd ...

Greetings, As part of a project to get an old Transam Tuscan S100 Z80 system up and running I have recreated its machine code monitor from the source code listing found in the back of the manual, This runs in a z80 emulator but I want to try it on an actual Z80 cpu. To achieve this I need a ...

Wow, it looks as if you have made my wish come true. Ive been wanting, meaning to get around, to making a flex system. and you've just handed it to me on a plate. must get back to doing some MECB stuff soon now.

(ive been working on some old bus station led matrix displays for last few weeks ...

Well done Emil, a great achievement. looking forward to seeing all the details of how you did it.
Best Regards, David.
