Subject: Getting Sidewise to work with GoMMC and SVideo output
Hihi
[Sidewise and GoMMC]
There are two routes, one if you want the ATPL sidewise and one if you
don't.
Route 1: Switchable sideways RAM/GoMMC
If you want it, it's very simple, fit a switch to EI and EO, short
when you want to use GoMMC, open when you want to write data to the
Sidewise RAM bank (which you'd better do from floppy since you won't
be using GoMMC while it's open)
(although you could load a file into memory from GoMMC then move the
switch I suppose)
Route 2: make Socket 15A ROM (15B is then unused) and have no sideways RAM
Bridge EI and EO
Cut S4
Bridge S5
Cut S8 East
Bridge S8 West
Remove the two RAM chips, put one in your Canon X-07 :-)
this will disable the RAM writes on the board and give you a 12 socket
Sideways ROM board essentially.
[S-Video]
Not sure if everyone is aware of this already but you can take S-Video
from the BBC board to drive your Commodore 1084 or whatever
The composite video socket (monochrome) has the video/ground, you can
take the chroma from the east pin of S39 (near the modulator)
No composite dot crawl, yay!
