Re: D32 keyboard....

Hitek keyboard sticking down keys normally means that the key-slider is split, so check that first of all. You may have to pull spares from a junk keyboard and try and replace them in your good-ish board. Note... pulling them without damaging them is hard!

Xroar profiling tools

Hi all, After bugging Ciaran to add a new feature to xroar trace output, I finally got around to making the bits and pieces to allow the output to be used nicely: xroar-trace-profiler is a couple of little tools that allow you to profile what exactly is taking up all the time when your Dragon/Coco (...

Re: microvitec cub monitor

I think it's difficult. Cubs are RGB-TTL only, unless you have an unusual model. That means you need an RGB output solution, and one that's tweaked for TTL levels.
