A2Pico

The A2Pico hardware comes in two flavours: SMD and TH, see https://github.com/oliverschmidt/a2pico for details.

The other day, the design files for the most recent TH variant were published, see https://github.com/rallepalaveev/a2pico/tree/main/A2Pico.v2.6

2.6 is functionally identical to the previous design. However, it puts all "user serviable parts" on the top and comes with a nice switch to turn USB power delivery on/off. And it comes with enough clearance around the USB port to allow for even bulky types of USB-A adapters (which are necessary i.e. for connecting a USB-mouse).

SMD design files

Now the SMD design files are available too, see https://github.com/rallepalaveev/a2pico/tree/main/A2Pico.v2.7

The 2.7 is an SMD design that's functionally identical to the 2.6 TH design.

A2retroNET update

I just release a significantly enhanced A2retroNET firmware for A2Pico. A2retroNET implements (despite the name) a mass storage device.

  • Before, it was just a 2 drive ProDOS block device controller. Now it's a 8 drive SmartPort controller.
  • Before, it used only an SD Card as storage mendium. Now there's a variant that additionally uses a USB Thumb Drive as storage medium.
  • Before, the names of the 2 disk image files were fixed. Now there's a config (text) file for the names of the (up to) 8 disk image files.
