Hi Glenn,
Nope, Sorry I dont have any contacts for Killy. Its been a while since
I ordered from them. The klips were left over from an internal SCSI
adaptor product (run) I did for the Mac Plus in 87. I was lucky I had
them left over and on hand to test Patrick Schaefer's Z80 card for the
IIc on Carte Blanche (which is mostly working now, bar a few timing
bugs (Alex!!) - However my enthusiastic focus has been more on my new
son Jesse, who arrived on April the 23rd.
Steve, Congratulations!! :)
Hopefully over the next few
weeks my next steps is to bring Carte Blanche into production until
its shipping) - so I wont be back on the IIc for a while yet.
But with Carte Blanche for the IIc, I have moved away from the Killy
Klip, and have decided on a "remove CPU", "plug on Carte Blanche",
Plug CPU onto Carte Blanche" approach. This allows me to use standard
products, as the CPU in the IIc seems to be mostly socketed. (
Yes that seemed to be the preferred approach on the //c. Moving the MMU
on board while adding cost might make more things possible as well.
The IIc Plus - I have no idea as yet).
The CGGA (Cache Glue Gate Array - PLCC-84) socket could prove to be a
bit of a hindrance with this approach .. as the PLCC socket sticks up
another 5mm higher then the CPU socket, so a pin extension of some sort
would be in order.
I am already hacking a Apple 50 bin bus to Apple IIc memory expansion
bus bridge (strictly for experimental purposes) so I can plug one of my
CB's (when it arrives) into the //c to check it out.
;-)

Steve

Hi folks,
The IIc version of CB would be in a form that simply had a
killy clip and would plug onto the existing processor - all other
aspects of CB would remain the same to allow the same code to be used
on either a II or IIc.
Hi Steve do you have source for killy clip's?
Thanks
Glenn
