Hello, Since many of you think it would be difficult to build an Atari 2600, I have good news for you, IT'S NOT !!! The schematics, online are at: http://www.atarihq.com/danb/vcstech.htm at the bottom of the page. Parts required: All custom chips (and crystals) can be found at BEST electronics: http://www.best-electronics-ca.com/custom_i.htm All others can be found at Jameco. http://www.jameco.com /\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/ Now for a price sample: If we use a simple 6502, it's: Jameco Item #43191 "6502", 3.25$ (Stock > 1000) or a 6507 BEST electronics Item "STK6507 CPU", 5.00$ (Stock unknown) --- For the RIOT, we need Jameco Item #43297, "6532 128x8+timer+I/O", 3.25$ (Stock >1000) or BEST electronics Item "UM6532", 5.00$ (Stock unknown) BUT We can replace the RIOT by: Jameco Item #43254, "6522 VIA" (RIOT less the RAM) (Stock >1000) Plus Jameco Item #38738, "2016-12, 2k SRAM, 120ns", 1.49$ (Stock >1000) and a clever addressing trick. --- For the RF modulator: Jameco Item #141639, "12 VDC RF modulator", 3.95$ (stock > 1000) ---------------- * All the Jameco components cost less if we buy >10 of them. * If we make our own VCS, it will be able to have: * Internal ROM (Like Combat included) * Composite Video Out * Other neat stuff people might think about BTW, I'll soon be making a batch (5-10) CART readers (2-4-8k, non bank-switched) with software and parallel port connection... E-mail-me if you think it's a good idea (if I don't get enough mail about this, I will only make 1 for me and 1 for a friend, so hurry :) They'll be in plastic casing.
