    My next RC2014 compatible board build will be the TMS9918A video card by J B Langston. I've ordered 5 PCBs and have enough parts to make up all 5, although I only have 2 x TMS9918As.

    I'm thinking of making up all 5 boards and selling off 3 - WITHOUT the TMS chip* - for pretty much parts cost + a small amount for my time and solder + postage. Would anyone be interested?

    *You can get them from various places as pulls or NOS. I suppose I could source and test them too.

      @linker3000 I’d be interested, I actually have a 9918A kicking around in an old Apple 2 EZ Color board. Hadn’t been used in decades so might as well give it a new life!

        @chris Hi Chris, I'm waiting for the PCBs to arrive. Happy to do a kit or make up the board. Drop me a line at nigel@linker3000.com

          I suppose I'd better point out for postage etc. reasons, I'm in the UK.

            JB's GitHub page for the RC2014 board refers to an original article on the RetroBrew Computers site about a TMS9918 circuit, but that's been returning a 500 error for a while. The Internet Archive to the rescue: https://web.archive.org/web/20240117013003/https://retrobrewcomputers.org/n8vem-pbwiki-archive/0/35845334/48860720/33053543/SRAM%20Replacement%20for%20TMS99x8%20VRAM.pdf
