C256_Stef

I don't believe the 256 will be like a C-one. Graphic Controller wise, it ought to be closer to an A500 than anything else. For the sound, I too would like to come up with something that would be more than just 3 voices. A 6 Voices SID Per Channel, like a 6586 or 8586 would be great!

As far as know, the C-one was abandoned or never completely finished... Was it?

Otherwise, I am sorry if the information is sparse right now, the whole SnapEDA interview caught me off guard. I wasn't quite ready to deal with that kind of attention. Not now, anyway! Cheers, Stefany

I love your enthusiasm! C'mon! let's stay positive! The worst that can happen is that I will fail miserably and I will be forgotten immediately and then people will rejoice around their Mega65! cheers! Stefany
Maybe because they don't pay attention! ;)
Yes, I am actually a girl! ;o)

Yes, I am aware of the Mega65.

Like I wrote before. 2 different computer with 2 different approaches...

I don't know why people come back with this comment... Like one 8bit music creator will stop creating music because someone else is doing it too? What's up with that?

I am glad you appreciate the discipline I am trying to put on the design. However, I do have to take into account these facts. This is 2018 and there just so much I can do to emulate this philosophy. So, I will do as much as I can without destroying the practical aspect of things. Also, the idea is to create it in a way, someone could actually build it (solder it) by hand... So I need to take that into account as well...

Two different computer from 2 different visions...

My take on it, in a nutshell, is really to come up with a bridge in between the C128 and the Amiga500... With the design restriction of the time. At least as much as I can with the resources I have. I won't go about creating a new mold... Cheers!
