Hye Guys, here is the new and refined enclosure that ought to be used in the future with the new Upgrade.
Right view: Power Switch, Mouse PS2, Keyboard PS2, Joystick A, Joystick B, Power Input +12V
Back View:
(C64 Compatible) Extended Cartridge Connector, IEC Conector, DVI (Analog/Digital), MIDI IN, MIDI OUT, Audio Line Out and finally an almost 100% compatible C64/C128 user port.
Left View:
On the left side, a micro-USB for debug/development, next to it, "the" Reset Button. Then, the red panel that will
be customize-able, right now there is a IEEE Parallel and Standard Serial port. Since those 2 are connected inside with cables, they could be removed and the side panel could be redesign to fit a new connector that would be part of an expansion card inside. Soon more details about that..., Finally, on the right side, a 3.5mm jack for Headphones and a volume knob to enjoy the awesome greatness that will come out of that computer!
Front View:
From Revision A to Revision B, lot of stuff in the front has been removed. There is no SDCard slot in the front, the whole SDCard has been removed. A custom SD2IEC will be needed to be installed in the back (more detail soon). Creating long lines of colors in 3D printing was complicated, so I opted for a more simplistic (minimalist) design. So, only the front 3.5" inches internal floppy and LED power on remain.
If you have any question, please don't hesitate to post on the forum.
Cheers
Stefany
I might be replying to old news, but I like the parallel and serial ports provided by revision B. They provide the possibility of parallel printer support. Granted there are not many printers left in the world which support parallel. Since the SuperIO chip already provides parallel and serial functionality though, I think the system should keep the ports available. They really distinguish this project from other projects in that this is not condemned to being a gaming machine and nothing more. My memories of growing up, with an Apple II and IBM XT Clone of course included games. To only entertain the gaming specific memories would cut out the fun gathered from creative writing and other things done with those computers.
