Intro
This project started as a continuation of my previous CF adapter for Toshiba portables project. In using those I started to realize that there where more features that I wanted on my Toshiba's, like sound and analog joystick controls. Unfortunately most of the Toshiba models only have one expansion port (except T3200 & T5200 line). So it quickly became clear I had to integrate more features on the same boards.
Features
- Compact Flash adapter, bootable using the XTide BIOS
- Bootable or as second drive.
- Reconfigurable XTide BIOS from DOS.
- Ability to control Internal IDE controllers as well.
- PC Joystick port.
- Connect one or two joysticks for a total of 4 analog inputs and 4 buttons.
- Compatible with 4 button joysticks/gamepads like the Gravis Gamepad
- Adlib compatible soundcard
- Yamaha OPL3 soundchip (YAC512-M+YMF262-M).
- IO address selectable.
Where to buy?
In depth
Because of the fact that this is effectively 3 ISA cards in one I'll split this part up in 3 different sections
CF adapter
Based on Lo-tech's XT-CF cards
This is the same design used in my previous "CF adapter", I will not copy all info over to this page, so for info (and programming) on the CF adapter portion please refer back to that.
Soundcard
The soundcard portion is a copy of Texelec's excellent Resound 2card.
I made some small changes to allow for IO address selection based on "spark2k06" Internal OPL3 board.
Joystick adapter
The joystick portion is schematically the same as IBM's Game Control Adapter. I did only use SMD parts instead of TRH for the board layout to save space.
