Amiga Video Slot Adapter

This adapter builds on the ideas from the Amiga Denise adapter V2, adapted for use in big box Amiga video slots.

The main differences are:

  • The 7MHZ signal is derived via C1 XNOR C3 since 7MHZ is not available directly from the video slot
  • Two button connectors allow for both a rear slot cover bracket button and another to be used, mounted wherever desired

The card edge connector used is from Amiga-KiCad-Library (https://github.com/JustinBaldock/Amiga-KiCad-Library). Approximately 1mm of space is left between the fingers and the PCB edge to allow for beveling.

Assembly

Installation notes

  • Set the Denise jumper according to which Denise is in your Amiga (Super Denise for 8373, Denise for 8362)
  • Orient the PCB such that the end with bracket mounting holes faces the rear of the machine

Version History

  • V1.1:
    • Routing changes that eliminate "sparkling" on certain image patterns
    • Excessive overclocking and the extra 47pf capacitor should no longer be necessary
    • Make use of unused gates on the original 74LVC86 instead of adding another
  • V1.01 Added spot for 47pf capacitor (C6) to ensure no sparkling on image, and grounded unused inputs on U5 per data sheet recommendation.
  • V1.00 Initial version.
