Fixes:
-
pokey_800_keyboard.html: The Atari 800 has glitches on the KR1/KR2 line which confuse pokeymax. This fix proposes adding a resistor to reduce the size of the glitches so they do not affect reading the keyboard.
-
pokeymax_600xl_improvement.html:
- Removal of filter capacitors, should be done on all systems where you want reliable high speed SIO (even on original pokey)
- Proposes adding resistors for pokeymax to handle out of spec SIO devices
-
1.XX_YYYYMMDD: Core updates, you need to find your version then you can take core.bin and flash it using the update tools.
-
Software: Example code, software that plays covox and sid. Some demos of PSG, stereo covox, gtia tunes etc.
-
pokeymax_jtag_adaptor: Allows attaching an Altera/Intel usb blaster JTAG to the pokeymax v2/v3. It has a non-standard pinout due to space restrictions. This is needed if you have a failed core.bin upgrade for instance, you'll also need to contact me(foft on atariage) or Retronics to get the required .pof file.
