Briel Computers support forum

It seems that Vince tends to disappear from the forums from time to time, but he comes back again. I don't know why. His last post here was in July.

Not that I know of. What did you have in mind - maybe something similar to the original Ohio Scientific 610 expansion board that added support for a floppy drive? There was some discussion here about ways to add a floppy drive.

You can download the files that come on the SuperBoard 3 CD from here:

Yes, that adaptor should work (it looks identical to the one I use). I don't believe there is any newer official firmware. Don't use the Propeller firmware for the Replica 1 TEN or Replica 1 Plus as the hardware is different. Here is a link to the latest CD: http://www.brielcomputers.com/files/repli...

All I have is what came on the CD, which is the same as is available here as Current Altair 8800micro CD: http://www.brielcomputers.com/wordpress/?cat=13 It seems to have the source code and AV Studio project files: AltairDisk.aps altairdisk.aws Disk.asm Since AVR Studio is free you should be able t...

Click on Downloads on the main page for this site and you will find a link for "Current replica 1 plus CD". It should be included there. I haven't checked as I do not have a Replica 1 Plus.

Yes, that is correct. I confirmed it on my board.

Just an update: All of the programs from the Games and Utilities chapters are now there. Also the KIM-1 ROMs and Microchess.
See https://github.com/jefftranter/6502/tre ... /asm/KIM-1

I also created a quick reference: https://github.com/jefftranter/6502/blo ... erence.pdf

Just an FYI: Support for the Ohio Scientific C1P computer (which the Superboard /// replicates) was recently added to CC65, which is a 6502 cross-assembler, C compiler, linker, and other tools.
See http://www.cc65.org/ and http://cc65.github.io/doc/osi.html

As a simple solution, I mounted a piece of plastic on the board using nylon standoffs. Some more details can be found here:

Just an FYI: I don't own a Micro-KIM but I have a real KIM-1 and I have been entering source code for the programs from The First Book of KIM. You can find it at https://github.com/jefftranter/6502/tree/master/asm/KIM-1/TheFirstBookOfKIM. These versions build using the CC65 6502 assembler. Paper tap...

Other than the instructions in the manual, I found that the orientation of the clip seemed to matter, and I needed to leave some slack in the wires and not mount it tight to the board or the switch may be activated. See the attached picture.

As well as the YouTube videos https://www.youtube.com/user/jefftranter (I've made three of them now), I have been making some posts to my blog http://jefftranter.blogspot.ca about my experiences with the Superboard ///.

My kit is now assembled and is up and running.




I made a short unboxing video and will shortly have a video on the assembly:

I received a USPS shipping notice when it was shipped.
