I have had some spare time on my hands and started to do a little
reading on PICS.. I have been looking at the propellerchip (
parallax.com ) and this is one hell of a chip for 13 USD..
The Dev/demo board (130 USD) has composite out, vga out, stereo out
with amplifier, a usb port for programming 64K memory 32 ram/ 32 rom
and even 2k of processor memory .. this thing has 8 processors or what
they call cogs.. and 32 i/o lines..
something like this is amazing .. has anyone else seen this / used this
etc..
I am curious, couldn't a unit like this be used to watch the apple ][
memory bus and internally convert it to a vga signal??
Same thing goes for the usb portion..
Comments?
