    Recreating the Mac's CUDA / EGRET microcontroller chips - can it be done?

    Truth be told I don't know how it works - it isn't my tool at the end of the day! Regardless, I will say it works very well - and it has been able to dump the CUDA lite from a 4400, which as MMU Man mentioned in his excellent excel sheet, is an E5 rather than an E1 - so it can access the...

    Recreating the Mac's CUDA / EGRET microcontroller chips - can it be done?

    Wait did you? I completely missed that! Truth be told I didn't go through this thread until I was asked to add my work on the Raven Proframmer!

    Recreating the Mac's CUDA / EGRET microcontroller chips - can it be done?

    Hey how was I supposed to ask if I didn't know it existed! I'm okay with the idea of flashing an EEPROM whenever I need to flash a new EGRET or CUDA, I'm only ever likely to need to flash a new 68hc705e1 once in a blue moon - so flashing the AT28C64 with a Ti866 and then installing it into...

    Hah thanks for catching the typo

    Recreating the Mac's CUDA / EGRET microcontroller chips - can it be done?

    What is the other variant? I'm only aware of the EGRET/CUDA (68HC705e1) and the CUDA Lite (68HC705e5). I'm more than happy to build two other programmers!

    Recreating the Mac's CUDA / EGRET microcontroller chips - can it be done?

    Hey all! I was poked by @Kai Robinson and @bakkus to do a bit more of a write up/explanation of what the hell I managed to do! [Wow I rambled for a bit] Bottom line is - we are able to make new CUDAs and EGRETs using 68HC705e1s. I'm lead to believe in the vast majority of the cases the CUDA...

    Reproducing the Lisa 2 Card Stack: The CPU Card

    That is amazing to hear, now the race is on to see who will be the first person to make a completely brand new Lisa in almost 40 years!

    That is amazing news!! Really hoping that error logic issue is something simple - at least it's not getting in the way of booting LOS. Now all that's left is to test the ram card and you've got a complete stack Lisa stack!

    Did you ever get the chance to patch and retest your CPU card?

    Oh god! Easy mistake to make I guess? Also relatively easy to repair hopefully 😬😬

    Reproducing the Lisa 2 Card Stack: The CPU Card

    Ah I just checked my ROM archive, the only Sun SCSI ROM I have is 341-8007, which I'm guessing isn't the quick boot ROM!

    Unfortunately as far as I can tell the Lisa clock doesn't divide down at all :/ you need a custom clock for it.

    Reproducing the Lisa 2 Card Stack: The CPU Card

    Heh I would worry too much about the schematics and designs being a mess - so long as they're functional it doesn't matter! You can always clean them up later. The COP would be neat to reverse engineer, but I think there are enough ROMless version of the COP (and the soviet clones!) It's not a...

    Reproducing the Lisa 2 Card Stack: The CPU Card

    Wow. Just... Wow! That is more or less exactly the same objectives I was planning to complete. You even cloned the SunRem 2mb RAM card!! Even the idea of replacing the power supply with an ATX PSU - I guess great minds do think alike! I suppose in a way that my end goal is marginally...

    Reproducing the Lisa 2 Card Stack: The CPU Card

    Impressive work! Have the current schematics/gerbers been uploaded to github yet? I'm still a bit in awe that I started this exact same project, and I've only just found out I've been beaten to it!
