Today I (Henrik) finished soldering the SVEthLANa prototype and now we got the first life signs from it. The SVEthLANa performs autonegotiation automatically from poweron and the LEDs of the ethernet connector are now nicely lit to show a successful autoneg to 100Mbit. :) What remains now is instantiating

Meanwhile Torbjörn is trying to fix a problem with synchronizing the VBL from the old Videl with the VBL of the SuperVidel when running in compatibility mode.

Two days ago we fixed the 8bit chunky mode in the SuperVidel VHDL code, so now you don't have to do any more chunky to planar conversions. :)

And just now we fixed the 2bit falcon VGA mode and ST Low, Medium and High resolutions! :) So the falcon VGA mode emulation is now complete!

Today we updated the SuperVidel project page, with more up-to-date specs and an FAQ. You find it under Projects.

Yesterday we got home from our first Sommarhack i Dalarna, Sweden, were we met the DHS guys among other people. It was a really relaxed party atmosphere, but a bit too hot weather :P Our legs are swollen with mosquito bites...

We got the chance to take some picture of our SV card inside Evl's falcon, so now we can produce an FAQ regarding the constantly returning question about compatibility with the original falcon case. :P

Forgot to mention that the NVDI patch uses the new blitter in the FPGA of the SuperVidel, which is why we get smooth window movement even in high resolutions. We'll hopefully remember to make a demo video of this soon! :)

Now we're at NAS in Falköping, were we've teamed up with Pep and other people. The past week Pep has progressed on the NVDI patch code so now he's running 1280x1024x32bit and we're running 1680x1050x16bit, with very smooth window movement! :)
