New Work - Schematics and descriptions for Manic-1
Current mainboard layout - PNG image of mainboard. The current layout for the Manic-1's mainboard; Contains four registers and four stacks, as well as the second-stage control logic. I am in the process of finalizing the first-stage which generates control signals now. There are a little over fifty AC terminators that I haven't put on the board yet. The design utilizes mostly SOICs, with some SOT form factor single-gate chips. There are a couple dozen components, mostly bypass caps and single gates, on the far side of the board. I estimate the board will cost roughly $240 for a quantity-1 prototype from Advanced Materials. The smallest drill holes and clearances are 10 mil.
Old plans for memory card - I've finished it, and it does more or less work; I can click through memory and write bit patterns and read them back to an LED bar graph. Maybe some day I'll put 6 or 8 LED bar graphs together and hook it's 8-line control up to my antique computer's parallel port and scroll messages by.
