I had been working for the past year on and off to encourage Joe Decuir to
provide a voiceover for Stella at 20 Volume 1. This was going to be a
layman's introduction to computers, and specifically the 2600.
That's probably not going to work out. Joe's sympathetic but apparently
too busy to focus on this. He may come through, but we're still at ground
zero with it and I need to move ahead.
Sooo....
For now I'm going to try to draft something myself, but I am merely a VCR
of everything I've observed here and there about the 2600. I'm not really
an IEEE type of guy and I'm not really an assembly language programmer. So
I'm concerned about inaccuracies and also leaving bits and pieces incomplete.
Therefore, in return for a credit and maybe more depending on what you are
looking for, I'm looking for volunteers to help me refine a voiceover
script and make sure my supporting visuals match what is being said.
As stated, it's a crash course intro to computers (not the PC kind, but the
bare bones 6502 variety of course) and then a somewhat simplified overview
of the 2600 architecture from the inside out. I was hoping for more of a
gate-level hardware explanation of how the 2600 works, but without Joe it
would have to be more of an explanation of how the 2600 reacts to software.
Depending on the opinions of those on the list, we can make this into a
public endeavor as we were doing with the FAQ creation, otherwise we can
branch off into private email discussions or a custom eGroups thing.
Opinions welcome!!
I should have an early rough draft ready for review during the weekend.
Thanks.
