All,
As discussed on commodore128.org, I am making available a new run of Richard42's video DAC board, which, along with a GBS-8220 (or similar) CGA-VGA converter, will enable high-quality 80-column RGB output, from the Commodore 128, to a VGA monitor.
There is a good picture of the output from the original run of these boards, at Commodore128.org.
My prices are as follows:
1. Bare PCB
Total (US): $10.00
2. Kit
Contains: bare PCB and components
Requires: soldering of component, GBS-8220 and power supply
Total (US): $40.00
3. Completed Board
Contains: populated PCB
What you need to do: Connect with your own CGA->VGA converter and power supply.
Total (US): $55.00
Thanks again to Richard42 for such a great design! I couldn't have done any of this without him. Sorry for the price increases over Richard, but a number of the parts have gone up in price, and so has shipping. I might be able to do better, if I get a number of orders.
This board will also work for IBM CGA, quite well.
Thanks!
