Tims Retro Corner | Let's Make an 8-bit Adapter PCB - From Scratch! @TimsRetroCorner | Uploaded September 2022 | Updated October 2024, 4 hours ago.
What do you do when you can no longer get that PCB you desperately need? You make one! Thanks to pcbway.com for sponsoring this video, and also for providing the PCBs free of charge.
The 6530 RRIOT chip is used in all the Commodore IEEE disk drives. And if it dies, it's impossible to find a replacement. EXCEPT, with an adapter we can use a much more common 6532 in its place.
Today we will make that adapter, using our own PCB design.
This project is based on the original work of Ruud Baltissen, who came up with the schematic. The project page on his site is: baltissen.org/newhtm/6530repl.htm
