I once had a long conversation with a bloke at a party about Sonny Rollins, during which I was surprised to learn he had a punk period in the 80s. Years later I realised he was talking about Henry Rollins and neither of us knew who the other one was.

@RonsCompVids@bitbang.social My mum threw out all mine lol. Especially funny considering one of her saddest stories from when she was a kid was how her mum threw out all her Marvel comics

@whitequark@social.treehouse.systems yeah buying these cards for $15 each to get your hands on the CPLDs is actually a reasonable value proposition lol... Shame they're PLCC.

Haha of course the OSS toolchain is by @whitequark@social.treehouse.systems . Honestly if I had a penny for each time I was struggling with something (PCH GPIO was the last thing) and Catherine had a code snippet or whatever that saved me... -- https://whitequark.github.io/prjbureau/intro.html

@wildrikku@mastodon.gamedev.place this is *the* original graphics card lol. IBM CGA, introduced with the first ever PC

The CPLDs used are sort of interesting. They're still being manufactured and they run at 5v, so ideal for integration into retro hardware. Unfortunately last time I looked the toolchain was a complete nightmare to use. I believe there is an open source workflow now though

Turns out the cheapo AliExpress CGA card I've been using till now was pretty accurate, it has all the same bugs/snow etc. I suppose it's not too surprising, it has the same 6845 chip and that's sort of the most crucial component.

Oh crikey, there's an open-source FPGA implementation of the Voodoo1 - https://github.com/fayalalebrun/SpinalVoodoo

@stefano@mastodon.bsd.cafe I wonder how they generate a big enough power surge.
