DosFox on Nostr: With the #MacintoshPlusClone RTC now working, and the Mac Plus now fully working with ...
With the #MacintoshPlusClone RTC now working, and the Mac Plus now fully working with zero apple parts - I've had a weird realisation.
This entire thing has been a broadly British affair.
The Logic board - was reverse engineered by a Brit.
The PALs were mostly reverse engineered by a Brit (except for the LAG and TSM, which were both dumped by two ex apple engineers [and the lag was forward engineered *TWICE*] - still the maddest part of this project)
The Sony SND was designed by me - also a Brit
The Pico Analogue Board hardware was designed by me, but based off another design *by another Brit*
The SCHWIM hardware was also designed by me, and based off research by yet another Brit
And finally the final incarnation of the RTC, was again, implemented by a Brit.
