Featurerequest: Support East German robotron PC
mgoegel opened this issue · comments
Hi Freddy,
this is not a real issue...
I started recently some projects for a robotron EC1834 8086 computer, which has a different bus connector.
In the Forum robotrontechnik.de someone announced your project and there was the question, if we could adopt it for these computers too.
I have no other idea, how to get in contact with you, so I choose this way.
If you want - we can discuss things via mail (m.goegel@gmail.com).

Hi,
It seems to be an extremely rare machine. 9% Chance I will not so a picomem for it.
Is there a way to do a converter between this bus and ISA ?
Hi Freddy, thanks for your response.
I know, it's a rare machine.
Yes, I have build an 8 and 16 bit ISA Adapter for it, the problem is, that, because of the form factor, you can't close the case with it. Your card looks high, probably too high, to add the adapter and want to close the case.
I started 2 years ago with restoration of 3 of these computers. If you look in my repo, you can see, that I sucessfully adopted a XTIDE and a NE2000 board (and other things) for that computer. So, I have at least some experience with creating these boards.
The only thing I need for that is schematics... ;)
I'm pretty sure, your Pico code would run on the computer as on any other.

I join the question, somewhere can see a schematic diagram of picomem. Or is this information unavailable?
Hi,
I am working on the PicoMEM Low profile version.
I received the prototypes and may test it this week end.
Regards,
