Life in 8-bits

[Iggy]

Are you guys kidding?
I'm still using one 8 bit computer.
 
I've got an Atari 130XE with a Hitachi 63B09E processor,
installed via this adapter:

Antic is a little cruder then a Color Computer VDG as it steals CPU cycles, but it also supports sprites and other graphic functions not available on a Coco.
 
Its been kind of fun playing around with this and a Sega Genesis gamepad.
 
Eventually, I may create a few games or a simple GUI.

Just one?
 
Still have a Vic-20 and C64 (OK, the C64 is broken at the moment, but it did work when I got it.).
Also have an Apple //e and //c.
And I have a Tandy Model 100 (8K only).
 
I use all (except the C64 obviously) to varying degrees.
Mostly the Vic-20 and //c.
 
I enjoy my Amigas the most, but the 8-bitters are still great!

No, I've got several (and i've disposed of many more - including an MPM system I should have kept), but I only use the modified 130XE and a seriously modified Coco3.
 
I've also got some HD63C09EP and some WDC65C816 processors sitting around waiting to be used in retro projects.
 
8 bit is still fun to code on.

Indeed. It's sad, really - the TMS-9900 would've put it so far ahead of any of its contemporaries that it should've done so much better than it did...only the C64 would've stood a chance against a properly-designed TI-99, and that mostly because of the SID and VIC-II...

Yep, I was really fond of the VDP in that unit.
Its a shame that TI didn't take advantage of the fact that it could do video overlay.
Many sprite boards for the Apple II were based on that component.
 
I even had one (and a sales offer from TI), while I was investigating building a similar overlay board for Tandy computers.
