If this computer had been cheaper, I certainly would have bought this. Oh, the 328. I hated the rubber keys on the 318. But,,,, I ended up with a Oric-1, which I later upgraded to an Atmos. The keyboard on the Atmos, was just amazing, compared to the Oric-1 knobs. I have had, some great computers, that was so much better than the C-64, but.... the majority chose the C-64. The Memotech MTX 512, was great. I had the one with the big case. I regret, selling that one. Then I had the Amstrad cpc 464, with the color monitor, disk drive, and some ok games. Plus a Football betting program. But I used it mostly as a Football betting computer. With the Amstrad Printer, I printed out the Coupongs. Actually, we won almost every week. But as we betted on the good teams, the prices, wasn't so high.
Nice job, thank you for the video. I probably would have overcomplicated the wiring by putting one of the ground wires to the ready pin so tha it is only pulled down when the casduino is plugged in
Was it a TOSEC file archive you downloaded? I have experienced the same loading problems with TOSEC files for the Dragon, due to extensively stripped headers on the files.
I'm sure you tried this - maybe you said - did you try just renaming the files from the website to TZX or whatever format you were using? Just curious.
@@thesuperdog Oh interesting. Was it how the Z80 implemented it's opcodes or that it had a smaller native set and had to do more sub operations to build up what is a native opcode in the 65xx? In other words the old CISC vs RISC trade off?
`I am very familiar with 6502 assembly but not Z80, but I believe that instructions used fewer cycles than on Z80 and that the A X and Y registers were more flexible in what operations you could do instead of having to move data between registers on the Z80 to do the same thing@@AndrewTubbiolo
There are several available for sale, BUT it's a hassle even though they're around $10US. Someone is working on a drop-in replacement with more capability (chooses to eliminate composite in favor of VGA). It's expensive though and still in development. My guess is that some clever person could make an FPGA to fix it if we run out. It's used on a few different machines.

Holy cow that Norwegian landscape you showed at the beginning was stunning in its beauty.
Thanks!
Thanks this helped me to mod my SV903 to work with MSX.
I believe that the later system SVI-728 is MSX compliant. The cart slots were made the same size to match MSX cart size.
Awesome video big fan of yourself and Noel keep up the awesome work
Thank you! Noel is great !
Very, very clean computer.. I am extremely envious.
Nice job, thank you for the video. I probably would have overcomplicated the wiring by putting one of the ground wires to the ready pin so tha it is only pulled down when the casduino is plugged in
Thanks :)
Afterwards the odd board connector soldering wires went into an edge connector to now have a nice adapter cable for the Maxduino, right? 😉
Nice video!
BTW, where did you buy the MaxDuino device?
I found it on eBay.
@@Arcticretro Ok, thanks!
I used to program text adventures for the 318.. =P The rubber keys.. ufff..

No, it was another archive. www.samdal.com/svsoftware.htm

take out the old-silly-scope ?
Were these 3+ MHz Z-80s faster than the 6502s? I'd love to see a real speed test comparison between the two.
3m z80 comparable to 1m 65xx. the 65xx was more efficient

@@thesuperdog Excellent! Thank you!
You may find this thread helpful regarding the SVI328 and its tape files.
Games are very similar to the Colecovision.
the TMS9918 is prone to overheating as I had a MEMOTECH MTX512 that had that same video encoder chip but once the chip overheated that was the end.

Hi where did you get the .tzx files?
Googled. Don't remember now
Is it just the SVI-328 being very picky.
