This is a project kit containing all of the components needed to create a Necroware MCE adapter. I have pre-programmed the GAL chip with the latest firmware (currently v0.10.1). This comes with all of the components shown, but does not include a manual, instructions, or support. This is a prototype project, so your mileage may vary. Please see the GitHub link below for more information. Will be carefully packaged for safe shipment.
The MCA-Adapter is a device, which can convert MDA (and Hercules), EGA and CGA
to analogue RGBS signal. It supports following features.
- Converts digital MDA, Hercules, CGA and EGA to analog RGBS or RGBHV/VGA signal
- Color DAC for 3, 4, 16 and 64 color modes
- Switchable composite sync from H- and V-Sync
- Loop through HV-Sync, colors conversion only mode
- Includes IBM's "brown-hack"for CGA and 16-colors EGA modes
- Hi/Low resolution EGA mode autodect for proper color representation
- Switchable green, white and amber monochrome screen emulation
Important Note:
If you intend to use a monitor that does not support horizontal frequencies down to 15kHz, you will also need to use a GBS-8200 in conjunction with this adapter.
Thanks to Necroware for this amazing project!
