ETI 681 - an S100 Programable Character Generator (PCG) card - ChickenMan - 02-08-2024
ETI magazine published a Programable Character Generator card for your S100 system, issued in their June 1980 magazine. Linked with the ETI-640 (or DG640) VDU you were able to create up to 128 characters. The board also contained a logic probe for debugging and fully implemented joysticks, up to 8, for that once dreamed of analog input. This was the basis of the PCG design used in the Microbee that followed a couple of years later.
It was produced by Applied Technology, this PROGRAMMABLE CHARACTER GENERATOR
will enable you to produce fine graphics with your DG640 VDU. Kit is supplied with
all components, 2 joysticks, top quality PCB, owners manual and sample software.
ETI 681 PCG kit. $140.00.
