Building kit would be awesome!

The more sound cards, the better.

Maybe i will make a limited amount of kits.

These cards look really nice. I would be interested in a fully assembled card. Please let me know when you are ready to prepare one. Thanks for the offer.

Based on sentence structure, I suspect your business trip has you thinking in German? 🤣

around 35€ ~ i don't have made excact calculations until now.

i have a few of the last batch avaible (ready cards), which i can give away.
The difference between the building kit version will be minor 😀
just some small adjustments.

In a few weeks I will also have two cards. One will stay with me. If the second works as well, I will create a little giveaway contest. 😀

That's a fair price. I can't buy one right now but i'll definitely want one in the future. I think i have spare SN76489 chips laying around in my parts bin.

Don't connect PC-Speaker Input wrong, + is on the edge of the card.

PC-Speaker Mix In does not work on more modern Boards.
Seems they are optimized to drive Piezo Speaker.
(Using 2 Driving Pins..)
For example my Super7 - K6-2 (Commate A7SX).

there is still some work todo 😀

Thanks!

Dreamblaster also helped me a lot, he send me many parts so i could build prototypes 😀
Maybe in few months you will find the Final Tandy SN76489 Card at the Serdaco Shop and can enjoy a lot of Patched Games and also native ones.
Fratzengeballer from dosreloaded.de forum will also help, patching more Games 😀
And Thanks to pdw for working on the TSR for more modern Computers.

This community is amazing.
If everyone works together we can move mountains.

I finally got around to soldering the two prototype boards you sent me. All went well, except for two things:

1. I can't flash the attiny13. Verification step always fails. Using an usbasp clone with avrdude. Any ideas here what to do? Got the pullup between reset and Vcc, but it doesn't help.

2. The BOM said 47uF on C8. However the LM386 datasheet says there should be a 0.05uF there, so rather 47nF...?

Hope to get some answers. Can't wait to try out the card!

Hi,

this is right, C8 is 47nf yes. (Errata in BOM)

It seems you have ATTIny13A choose the right MCU 😀 Tiny13 and Tiny13A differs.

Ok, will find some 47nF ones.

Concerning the ATTINY: I have this one:

Doesn't look like the A variant...? I will try avrdude with 13A anyway.

What if you simply use usbasp as programmer not -clone ?

i have seen this message before, but only with defective tiny's or bad/loose wiring.

It was the -D parameter... The erase cycle did not seem to be necessary or did not work. After specifying -D the verification succeeded. I will buy two 47nF tomorrow and finish the boards. Then I can try them out...

What do I need softwarewise? Can I simply fire up Zak McKracken or Maniac Mansion and it will detect the card?
