Hi all. Adrian asked me to comment on why an adapter is needed to have the W65C02S work in a computer that expects the older 6502A. I explain it in this video: th-cam.com/video/XwWGl3z_IFQ/w-d-xo.html. But briefly: some of the new pins didn't exist in the 6502A and shouldn't be passed through to the main board. For instance, the new VPB pin would go to ground if you just plugged the new processor in the old socket, which would prevent the CPU from working. Another pin (RDY) needs a pull-up resistor in the new CPU, as it cannot be left undefined (this is specified in the data sheet). Yet another pin (BE) must be held high, as it enables the buses but didn't exist in the old CPU. The W65C02S is also not specified as compatible with TTL levels in its inputs. It will probably work most of the time, but the data sheet explicitly disclaims this. So a bus transceiver (whose DIR input is driven by the RWB output of the new CPU) is used to boost signal levels on the data bus at least. The W65C02S will drive the address bus hard, so no transceiver is needed there, as the address bus is always an output. Finally, there are six input control signals that, officially, should also be boosted, but these signals are not as loaded as the data bus, so the adapter will work fine without a second transceiver.
What about using the board in say an Atari 400 or 800? I can't remember if those used 6502A or B chips but they didn't use Atari's own "SALLY" version of the 6502 which was later used by the 5200, 7800, and the XL and XE computers.
@@TheJeremyHolloway It should be possible to use it in the first-generation Atari 8-bit computers, before the 'Sally' era. But I haven't tested it there yet. I am now also working on reverse-engineering the 'Sally' itself. I made another little daughterboard that fits into the 'Sally' socket, though a couple more ICs are required. See: th-cam.com/video/iTJLFSFqFeE/w-d-xo.html.
@@thebyteattic If you look at the socket cross bridge from one side to another, it looks like it's fouling with the header pin ends. 37:08 Also the header pins don't look right. Those are equal length either side of the plastic retainer, when it should be short on the PCB side - you can see Adrian had to solder them spaced off the PCB.
Adrian, your videos have given me continual motivation for restoring my VIC-20, C64's, and Xerox 820-II's Thank you from the bottom of my heart, and the bottom of my components drawers!
I definitely want to see the 64 glued together. AkBKukU's (Shelby's) method of using superglue and baking soda method seems to work the best on a budget.
@@yakskiis7426 Yeah, i wouldn't both to fix that case, but it would be handy to use to test out fixing methods. Although i think he has now already settled on the Acetone as being the way to go. There might be other methdods that work too.
I think you've nailed this mail call format and I personally find the length and content works well, some other channels do shorter mail call videos where they simply unbox, briefly mention what it is then thank the person and that's it until a future video where they feature the item I find fairly pointless. I like that you spend a bit of time looking at the product in these videos which makes them a good watch.
That pin former tool is the most useful thing I've ever bought, lol, so thanks for that reference on a video long ago! I also just picked up the Jonard chip puller, so now I just need to get myself a good hot air station and I should be actually set to destroy vintage systems like a pro! lol
I really hate to be "that guy", but that 9 pin connector is a DE9, not a DB9. ;) The connectors use different shell sizes that use letters to identify the size. A 25 pin d-sub connector uses a "B" shell, thus, "DB25". 9 pin d-sub connectors use the "E" size shell, thus "DE9". (sorry for pedantic nerd being pedantic. ;) )
Interesting mail call. Well with the 3 64's getting 2 working out of three isn't bad. The replica board will be a really neat project. Thanks for sharing.
That C64 should be reconstructed in an “exploded view” style. Maintain the fractures and smashed offsets and fasten it all with some internal skeleton. Let it function again but allow it to tell the story of the battles it’s fought.
I love the tings that are available today, in the eighties if something went wrong with your c64, prob. gonna buy a new one... and there were times I had to.... But fortunately there was the 128, the Amiga 500, 2000 and a bunch more.... Still I am pleased that so many people are still interested in computers, building, upgrading, getting old stuff in the picture again, but I had all these things, now I can do all with my pc, a lot better ....
You have to expect that your package is going to be thrown and dropped anymore. You have to put good packing material all the way around and in between.
Yep, nothing seemed to be wrapped properly. They were just sitting in the box with bubble wrap mixed in and a bunch of confetti (for whatever reason). No wonder it was a mess.
19:10 - I'd love to see you try several different methods of crack repair on that C64 top. It can't be saved so using it for research so we can know what works best would be good in my opinion. Thanks for doing these vids! I appreciate it!
That honey colored tape is Kapton Tape, DuPont invented it in the 60s and it is used in flexible electronics and spacecraft because it stands up to a vide range of temperatures. It was used for the Apollo missions. Kapton tape is also used the 3D printing because it gives the extruded filaments a surface to adhere to for easy removal on heated printing beds.
Or maybe to replace that "sad broken c64", which even though is working, if i remember from the the video, the PCB had was in bad shape and had a lot of bodge wires to fix it.
When you said Boyce, Louisiana I thought you said "Boise, Louisiana" and I was like "Huh. You never know :\" And that open glass of OJ (excuse me, Mango Tang :) ) on your repair desk is gutsy :D
My Samsung Syncmaster 940MW actually has a SCART port on it, although it's called RGB MULTI on the back. It was designed as a multistandard TV/video monitor and as such the antenna connector on the back is a European one. It also has VGA, DVI, composite, S-Video and component video inputs. As such it's a nice old LCD for retro gaming. It is currently in use as the monitor for my media center setup.
Yeah it's Wednesday. Your mail call videos are the best. Love that you take a good look at each item and don't say "Hey you'll see this again in a video next year". Also, always love to see a call out to other TH-cam channels with good content.
Adrian, use some freeze spray (r134a) in a can to remove the labels off the broken top cover on the C64. Just be gentle as it could make them emblem very brittle but will preserve the sticky side so you can reuse and stick on another bread 🍞 board. 👍
Just a little tip, you should have the LED connected to see if the board is getting power at all. I had a machine where the switch was corroded and one of the 2 lines didn't make contact (I guess the 5V because the LED didn't came on) and there was one machine where only the fuse was blown.
That's an interesting implementation of SCART. That is a connector standard, so I would have expected it to have a SCART connector so you can use existing cables. And SCART supports S-Video and RGB in addition to composite video.
Exactly! The pay so much money to ship that equipment... Why not spend a little bit of effort on packing things properly? If you don't want to spend any effort, then better just bring that stuff to the dumpster!
It could have been the mail-shop that packed it. I've seen how some places do, and it's infuriating since they often try to weasel out of damage claims.
Protip: you can buy old hilti polycarbonate boxes on ebay if you want a really strong box for shipping c64 sized computers and similar sized chunky stuff I've bought 2 large hilti tools before, and these things were HEAVY, and the shippers just wrapped duck tape around the catches, stuck a label on the box, and posted them! Both arrived fine, probably dented the postal truck....
How lucky that they were willing to ship your SixtyClone motherboard to your UPS store mailbox! I attempted to order two of those, and they canceled my order and informed me that they don't ship to UPS stores, so I guess I'm not allowed to order from them.
about the sixtyclone 466 board - it might have a small error at the cart. port.. you can check if your board has it, by checking pin 1 and pin 7 in cart port.. if those are connected then you board need a small fix to get the cart port up an running ;)
I hope you're still going to build up that board. Would love to see a video on it, even if it's just of the finished product with the assembly done off camera.
Roland S50/550/330 and the S7XX series samplers can use very simple (resistors only) TTL to SCART adaptors for their video outputs, handy as the S50/550/330 only have a mono composite out and a screen is pretty much required to do anything easily on them or to use the Director-S sequencer , the later S7XX series have the addition of a colour S-Video output (along side mono composite and Digital RGB) so it's not as necessary. Gives me a nice crisp output to a cheapo Technika (Vestel for Tesco) LED LCD TV.
40:20 You should get the shields, mosfets, etc. copper or bronze plated. That'd make them super shiny and pop out on that cool looking blue & gold color scheme. :) And make sure to use those gold ceramic RAM chips!
You can definitely get DIN connectors like the ones C64 needs, but maybe the pin pattern and spacing is a bit different - I'm not sure. So the new replica mainboard can accomodate the brand new modern DIN connectors perfectly.
Shorting pins 1 and 3 on the user port resets the machine, so that's what those switches on those two 64s probably do. I installed one or two of those myself way back when.
My C64 was modded with a reset button and 128K of RAM. I also had fans on the disk drive, although the computer itself seemed to generate more heat that the disk drive.
Since the top of that Commodore 64 is smashes that would make for a cool custom one! A different color would look really cool like a crisp white, silver, or black.
You should glue the case back together. You should be able to use the superglue + baking soda method to form a strong enough bond. Not sure what to do about the missing piece though. You could try to mold the missing piece using resin and then painting it. If you can tape a fairly stiff piece of plastic to conform to the shape where the missing piece goes you can pour the resin onto it using it as a mold.
The section about W65C02S reminded me that there is another source of 6502. There is CP630P processors that was clone of 6502, used in COMECON (aka the Soviet Block) in the 80's. It seems that it is a drop-in replacement for the original 6502. I found "TechJump" video where he uses CP630P in VIC-2 directly without any conversion boards. Of course, these CP630P are also in limited supply and the ones on sale are likely second hand/salvaged, but it is still a way to get more of the real thing.
Strange, I thought the W65C02S was a drop in replacement for the 6502 (Cmos vs Nmos). They did make a W65C802 (discontinued) and a W65C816 (current production), both of which are psudeo 16 bit processors, the latter has an expanded memory address to 16 mb. The latter two are NOT pin compatible with the 6502 (close, but no cigar), but can be used as replacements with an adapter.
I reckon you should try gluing the broken case, clean up the cracks with some filler and see if you can mix up some paint to respray it an original colour

I think he forgot to trim the header pin ends, because the socket looked crooked, ie, it wasn't sitting flat.
@@TheJeremyHolloway It should be possible to use it in the first-generation Atari 8-bit computers, before the 'Sally' era. But I haven't tested it there yet.

See: th-cam.com/video/iTJLFSFqFeE/w-d-xo.html.
@@SidneyCritic In principle, there should be no need to trim the header pins. The socket should be tall enough to fit on top.
@@thebyteattic If you look at the socket cross bridge from one side to another, it looks like it's fouling with the header pin ends. 37:08
Also the header pins don't look right. Those are equal length either side of the plastic retainer, when it should be short on the PCB side - you can see Adrian had to solder them spaced off the PCB.
I love that you still call them "mini" mail call. Can't wait for the full-size mail call. It'll be a six hour stream, no doubt. I'd watch it!
That "burn" on the back is probably where someone left a cable touching it. Over a very long time it causes a kind of chemical burn.
It looks to me like someone has in fact tried to repair the crack in the case with a soldering iron to weld the plastic.
"Hey, that's a nice Commodore 64!"
Adrian: "Thanks, it has sockets!"
Adrian, your videos have given me continual motivation for restoring my VIC-20, C64's, and Xerox 820-II's
Thank you from the bottom of my heart, and the bottom of my components drawers!
Yay for the Xerox 820-II! I'm aching for more CP/M content on the retro channels. Alas, no one else seems to care.
Adrian, you've managed to awaken a retro computing love I didn't knew I had. Keep up the good work! Greetings from the other tip of America
Same dude.
I definitely want to see the 64 glued together. AkBKukU's (Shelby's) method of using superglue and baking soda method seems to work the best on a budget.
I think he should do it just for the practise alone. Maybe learn something to do or not do when he has a case with a smaller crack worth fixing.
My mind was blown when I first saw that method...
@@yakskiis7426 Yeah, i wouldn't both to fix that case, but it would be handy to use to test out fixing methods. Although i think he has now already settled on the Acetone as being the way to go. There might be other methdods that work too.
Hey Adrian, really happy how you rock this genre. No one makes Mail call videos as entertaining as you. Keep up with your great work.
Yay! Looking forward to *your* future SixtyClone build. I know there are others to see but we want to see Adrian's!
Thanks Adrian !! For all that you do for us !! Never asking any $ from us and doing it ALL for the love of the hobby !!!

Thanks for pointing to the tindie site, now I can bring my old 64 back to life. (hopefully)
I like the mango tang name above the glass off orange fluid in the background , explaining the rgb to scart converter thingy
Man, who ever packed that first package, did a really bad job.
Not necessarily. You don't know what can happen to a package in transit, the machinery it can go through.
You have to expect that your package is going to be thrown and dropped anymore. You have to put good packing material all the way around and in between.

34:50 you know, the n in Bernardo's signature does look a bit like an m -- I can see why it might have gotten mixed up on the packing slip.
Hey, whoever sent the C64:
You need to use the packing material around the items. Otherwise, the items become the packing material.
And use thick chunky polystyrene foam. Bubblewrap, foam peanuts etc can really only be expected to fill gaps and add finer protection.
