I have just confirmed that a SanDisk 8GB SDHC (microSD) formatted as FAT32 works although boot time is about 10% slower than 1GB FAT16. This may be due to the FAT32 directory structure and therefore may not slow-down ZiCog.

The cost of the microSD is due to my labour and since I am not stocking them I have to go to the retail shop to buy authentic cards. You can of course buy yourself and download the files.

So together with the 1-pin video, we can use the 2 serial I/O pins on the RamBlade instead to make an SBC with PS2 Keyboard and mono video (composite video TV) terminal onboard. I will detail the modifications to the RamBlade pcb for this a little later.

I have been overwhelmed by orders. The first panel is sold so I am getting another panel done assembled and should be able to ship them next week. Beyond that I will have to order some more parts, so there will be a delay. However, I do not want to order more until I know they will be required. It is a hobby for me.
A few have asked about assembling them themselves. I have a lot of experience in hand assembling smt and I have troubles with this pcb (my eyes are not what they used to be). My son, who also worked in our previous assembly business, can pick a bad joint in seconds (he fixed one of my failed assembled pcbs). He assembles the RamBlades for me. I did send a few kits out to people who I know assemble their own pcbs. The Prop chip is easy (a walk in the park as they say here) compared to the resistor network, SOT23 and SOIC8 (eeprom).

Albeit that you are space constrained, a microscope is invaluable for SMT work. I'm highly myopic, but have also hit the point where it's getting hard to focus close up. I use the microscope for everything, these days.

Back in the late 70s I was introduced to the first sort of SM I had ever seen. It was made by Plessey and consisted of a pair of milled out brass plates sandwitching two layers of ptfe. One of the layers had the tansmission lines and active components on it, the second just completed the dialectic. This "state of the art" would be gigantic now, but then most of the stuff on the tansmitters had bolts at either end. I could see them, even now.

hinv: Presuming no failures, next panel is due sometime next week and I have 4 RamBlades spare. First come, first served. After that, it is likely to be 2-3+ weeks as I have to order more parts.
re 8-bit data bus. No. Serial will be quite sufficient running ultra-fast. By adding a bus, it would be required to slow down the pcb which defeats the purpose.
▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔ Links to other interesting threads:
If, for instance, a second prop was in need of a large data transfer from the RamBlade, and you had the Databus connected, you could have the second prop monitor the data bus. The only thing the RamBlade would have to do is to send a signal that the data on the bus is good, which would be a whole lot faster than a 14MBit serial connection, not much slower than the ramblade's local transfer, just the time needed to set the bit to tel the second prop that data on the buss is valid. Of course, there would be setup times, especially if you serially sent over the addresses. It would get a bit more complicated for writes, but since you don't have enough pins for VGA or an LCD ($18 4.3inch one, for instance), it would be nice to just pass that out in parallel prop to prop, using the RamBlade as frame buffer, graphic generator, and the 2nd prop for the LCD driver and other IO.
Do any of those DataBus pins come out to any of those holes?
First of all, apologies to those I was shipping RamBlades to today. I found a bug at the last minute in the Eeprom Bootloader.
What happens is that the SD driver loads the SD binary file into hub ram and disables the SD card. However, the driver does not force the SD card to release the DO pin. This is the same issue I have overcome with the drivers I use in ZiCog for both the TriBlade and RamBlade. I need to fix the SD driver I used for the SD bootloader. Under normal conditions, this may not be seen.
How did I find it? Well, I have a test routine for the RamBlade to test the hardware. It ensures all pins are as they should be at powerup, pullups, no shorts or opens, able to read/write a bit pattern to SRAM, and read the microSD card. I placed this test program on the SD and allowed the RamBlade to boot it's Eeprom loader which called the test program, and it failed indicating that the pullup was not working because the SD card was driving DO (even though the -CS was inactive).
The moment I write to the SD card again, all would be fixed. However, this could lead to some obscure faults. I use this as a bus with the SRAM.
However, if anyone uses this with multiple SPI devices connected, the same issues would occur.
IMHO, this is really a bug in the SD card (but we will not change that) so we must therefore ensure when -CS is returned inactive, all SD drivers force the SD card to release DO. This should no longer be a patch just for TriBlade and RamBlade.

I think the answer is probably yes, though some of the Catalina drivers would need to be modified to support Cluso's memory and simple TX/RX for stdout and stdin. Should be doable but Ross will probably need to chime in on the complexity of changing the dirvers for Catalina.
I have not had the time yet to look at Catalina. Ross has it running on the TriBlade using 2 of the onboard props, so I would expect it is a simple matter of substituting the SRAM driver and pin assignments.
Ross could answer this question.

I prefer to keep the sales issues out of the forum, but a few have asked about availability, so here goes...
RamBlades are built in panels of 10 pcbs.
The first panel·were sent out unassembled (total 7 including my 2). Remainder not built.
The second panel (first production panel) has been built and shipped 11 Jan and have begun arriving.
The third panel (only 8 because I only ordered 25 kits first up) are being assembled now. The are all sold and paid for.
The fourth panel I am waiting for the remainder of parts (another 25 kits) and are due 19Jan. Hopefully they will be assembled the week of 25Jan. I am quoting 2-3 weeks but hopefully can be sooner. Of these, 8 are sold and paid for, so 2 spare.
The fifth panel hopefully will be assembled a week later (depends on my son and his work commitments).

I have not looked at Triblade so I am unsure, if I can run Catalina (out of the Box) on your SBC. I am only using P31..30 for I/O to my Laptop( VT100) so that should be Ok but I think you have made some changes the the SRam Driver. If so what what are the changes.

I have not looked at Triblade so I am unsure, if I can run Catalina (out of the Box) on your SBC. I am only using P31..30 for I/O to my Laptop( VT100) so that should be Ok but I think you have made some changes the the SRam Driver. If so what what are the changes.
I would like to get Catalina up on the SBC.
