Thanks god! I almost thought something very bad (even worse than
abovementioned system casualty) has happened.
I have been unable to reach Jeff/Chuck lately, had anybody more luck? Any
inside info, how the iTv box is progressing, somebody?
In
http://www.dnai.com/~jfox/f21stat.html
it is stated:
"A limited number of F21b prototype chips and F21 PCBv1 are available
from Ultra Technology".
Has anybody ordered/used these? What was your experience so far?
I have built a POP biotracker, a wearable (D)GPS/biosignature telemetry
device. Now I'd like to build a fully working prototype. However, as the
project financers are pushing for speed, and there are different
(non-FORTH :(( developer fraction in the tentative team, I am somewhat
strained in legitimizing my indended use of Forth/MISC/F21. I believe
need a true killer demo.
I'd very like to make it a true MISC Forth box. However, the F21
developer board is still not available, so I consider starting on the
Dr. Ting's MuP21 board. Alas, I have not found any details about this
beast. An URL, anybody?
What I need:
- a PAL output (NTSC is useless in Europe, I know MuP21 can do PAL in
theory)
- a standard PC keyboard input
- a serial port (best 2 x RS232, but I'd settle for one)
- some kind of mass storage, e.g. a flash memory card
- some digital I/O lines
- a small prototype area (optional)
Does the Offete system qualify?
Thanks a lot in advance,
