So what happens when you turn on your Sentinel 65X board?

First up, the CPU boots up. This is complex compared to the plain W65C816S, but the short version is that it begins clocked by the 32KHz timer oscillator. It then probes the ROM, looking for the string "WDC" at 0x008000; if it finds it, it jumps to 0x008004 and that lets the ROM take over. Otherwise, it switches to the ~1.8MHz clock, and calls the ROM monitor, which uses the serial port for I/O.

The system ROM is supposed to take over, and instead switch to the 8MHz clock.

Meanwhile, the FPGA loads its bitstream from the serial flash ROM, and becomes the VERA, outputting 640x480 256 colour video. Once that's done, it pulls the CDONE output high, which goes to some logic that moves the select output from the serial flash ROM to the SD card port, thus enabling hardware-accelerated SPI for SD card access.

Hehe funny dino~

I’m Nata - book illustrator and artist drawn to dark, gothic themes. In love with Victorian vibes, vampires, and poisons. I’m an avid reader. I come from a small seaside town in Crimea,but the war first took me to Kyiv, and now I’ve found refuge in Valencia, Spain. Here by the sea, under the sun, I’m slowly healing, recovering my mind and spirit. I’ve always loved Spain -and I’m happy to be here. I’ve picked up my paints again, and I’ll be sharing my art with you

Anyone who is blind, or who has worked with the blind, knows how expensive our technology can be. This couldn't be more true with relation to braille displays. Even the cheapest costs at least $799, and it's already behind the newest in that line, at $899. This is the Orbit Reader 20 and 20+. Now, a student in India wants to change that by creating a display that is truly affordable (under $50)! Please pass this on, so that we can give him greater recognition within the blind community. Even if it costs a bit more than he initially suspected it would, there is no excuse for the $2,000 to $5,000 average price of such technology when cheaper alternatives can be designed! He is determined to bring this to market, so let's help him do it and show our appreciation for his hard work on this life-changing project!

disassembly is second nature to us reversers, so it's easy to forget that the average person probably only knows the basics of the win32 api and one or two instruction sets

...and x86 calling conventions, of course

whoaaa its like microsoft paint but for teletext

Ok, I have an odd quasi mutual aid request:

Are there folks who would like to send me their old corded (not bluetooth) headphones and/or earbuds? Like just mail me kit you don't use.

I don't have any backups any more and my fav headphones need repairs, so want to stock up on other options.

I am in Ontario Canada, fyi for shipping feasibility.

Tagging #actuallyAutistic because ya'll know how important headphones are. 💛
