Hi Chris! >Manual wants to make a MIDI interface for the 2600! I love it!!!! >Am I right? Am I right? Well, almost. My name is spelled ManuEl :-) To be more precise, I want to turn the 2600 into a MIDI instrument, by providing a three-piece solution, with a MIDI-IN port plugged into the joystick port and a decoder cartridge for MIDI messages and some whatever- thing that extracts the audio signal directly. As far my calculations went, when feeding the ~32000 baud MIDI signal into the 2600, one'd have ~ 30 cycles between two bits, which probably might allow direct decoding & executing MIDI messages. Since I'm no hardware guy at all, here's an idea to provide 'A few cycles more'(Hehe) : - Maybe it's possible to turn the serial MIDI signal into sort of a parallel one? - Maybe I then could feed a whole byte at once into SWCHA by combinig both Joystick ports? Does this make any sense to you hardware guys? :-) Greetings, Manuel ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Archives (includes files) at http://www.biglist.com/lists/stella/archives/ Unsub & more at http://www.biglist.com/lists/stella/
