Now that you have a commodore 128d, would you like the chameleon 64 to work with it?


It would be nice, but the existing Chameleon64 will not (and supposedly never will) work with the C128 without a redesign.

While I'd rather have mine plugged into a C128 than my C64C (mainly for the keypad), I'm honestly more than happy with it as it is.  Besides, there is always the possibility that someone might port a C128 core.  Imagine having a C64 boot into C128 mode instead of the other way around.  :D

Who would do it?

I made one of the monochrome cables for my 128 before I got my 1902 monitor, and it works fine.  I used it with CPM, and didn't have any problems.  I am not sure what monitors will work with the 128, as it has the digital RGB output, but I know the 1902 does, as that is what I use.  I also have made one of the S-video cables for mine and have it hooked to a small LCD TV for 40 column use.  It works fine as well.  I know this isn't much help, but just thought I would add my experiences to the mix.  If I can help with testing or anything, let me know.

Anybody who wishes to.  That's the beauty of the FPGA cores.  :)

Thanks Jeff.  It confirms that the C128 works with the s-video cable, so it must be an issue with my C128D signal in C128 mode or my TV/Monitor.  :)

This way shipping should not to bad?
