Hi guys!
Today I finally received the two old C64 IEEE-488 interface modules that I
ordered a few weeks ago. After opening them, I guess they look pretty
interesting. Before I got the pack, I thought I should receive two standard
C= IEEE interfaces with the well known circuitry (based on a 6525? or
something similarly rare MOS chip). But no. The interfaces were manufactured
by Novotrade Fotoelektronik Gt. (a well-known Hungarian C= hardware support
company in the middle '80s). Inside, I see a 6821 PIA, a 2732 EPROM, a
74ls04 and a 74ls139.
Anyone ever seen such thingy?... ...Maybe I'm just naive :-(
My personal opinion is BTW that they should be just slightly "economized"
variants of the original C= IEEE-488 interface. ...Will have to dump out the
EPROMs, but for that, I should desolder them :-/ (...or check the board and
see if I can read them with the C64 itself).
