Didier,
 
That would be amazing. I'm not sure if it's worth the effort though. The GDP chip looks complicated to try to emulate, and I don't know of any real software that would use it. Still, if you think you can do it, more power to you!
 
I find PET graphics cards facinating... I wish I had more ;-)
 
Steve

We should compare roms as well to see what differences, if any, there are to the 512x256 version that i have. Im going to try posting a d64 of the demo programs i typed out for my board. You can buy the thompson ef9366 chip for $15 on ebay, or the 65 like your board for about $50.
