====== Lord Nightmare ====== Jonathan “Lord Nightmare” Gevaryahu is a contributor to MESS, mostly in the forms of new dumps, new information, the occasional skeleton driver, and near constant IRC 'verbal diarrhea' commentary that drives MooglyGuy insane. :-P ===== Pending Skeleton Drivers, in Rough Priority Order ===== - Votrax PSS done. Driver needs work: PIT hookup, AY-3-8910 hookup, SC-01-A TP3(interpolation disable) emulation and clock input R/C filter PWMing. - Votrax TNT done. Driver needs work: needs SC-01-A A/R emulation for 6802 IRQ, needs 6850 UART hooked up for serial in/out. - DECTalk DTC-01 done. MC68681/MC68HC2681 core needs work to properly handle RTS/CTS flags and outputs. - Speak and Spell done, hap did the cpu and driver, and lots of people contributed roms and vsms and typing jobs. - Speak and Math done, hap typed the patent proto rom, sean riddle decapped another mcu and got the final cd2708 rom, still need the older cd2704 one. - Language Translator hap typed the patent (proto?) rom, needs more work to get running. - Touch and Tell hap typed the patent (proto?) rom, needs more work to get running. - Vtech/LASER Compumate 2done by Robbbert and Kale (needs ROMs dumped using fluke, Z80 is now socketed (Thanks kevtris!) but device doesn't like starting with the fluke in the z80 slot) - Vtech Socrates done. Toshiba PARCOR speech chip is not emulated. Interrupt masking is not emulated (assuming that's what the mystery I/O ports handle). Waitstates are not emulated causing driver to run at 3x the speed it should. - Franklin Language Master LM4000 (pending ROM dumps) - Telesensory/Speech Plus Prose 2000partly done, needs a little more uPD77c20 CPU/DSP core work involving interrupts and serial output; main cpu may need some minor I/O plumbing. - Victor 9000/Sirius 1 driver in progress by Curt Coder; (messy, requires SASI? drive support for the HDD, and proper emulation of the 8048-based Tandon-mechanism multispeed floppy drive); all ROMs for a universal ROM rev system are dumped (keyboard MCU, floppy MCU and main CPU ROMs); currently the keyboard comms between main unit and the keyboard don't work properly, may need tracing of the board. - Epson HX-20 skeleton driver done by Micko? sub processor dumped by kevtris; more ROM dumps needed for multiple revisions. 'Realvoice' add-on needs MCU trojaned. MALE voice ROMs need dump. - Rockwell AIM-65/40 skeleton done in its own driver. The Motorola display driver chip may need a segment table dump. - Heathkit ET3400A and ET3400 (trivial, most challenge is the artwork; ET3400 non-a needs ROM dump) skeleton done by Micko, finished by Robbbert - Intel SDK-86 (somewhat involved, lot of changable settings and I/O chips and stuff, mostly involving waitstates) skeleton done by Micko, driver mostly works after work by ?Robbbert? - C64DTV NTSC and PAL, plus the Hummer (needs BASIC program to dump BIOSes to IEC, or dumping of ROM chips; Guru has a PAL DTV sent from me via incog, needs dumping) - Olivetti M24 AKA AT&T PC6300: PC clone, lots of PAL dumps done; at least a dozen versions of the BIOS and various PALs/PROMs exist, driver has most of these in it; also need the Z8001? expansion board (which allows Olivetti M20 software to run?) dumped plus its pals - Epson Equity I+: PC clone, this is dumped. - DEC VT320: skeleton done by Micko using ROMs from someone else; need to dig ROMs out of unit, buried way below the CRT tube; several dumps of this exist - DEC/Boundless VT520: skeleton done by Micko. unit here needs vertical deflection amp circuit traced and repaired. - Intel SDK-85 (need ROMs, similar to KIM-1 but Intel hardware, predecessor to SDK-86; ROMs are on custom-masked MIOT-like ROM-RAM-I/O chips) skeleton done by ?Robbbert? ===== Low Priority ===== - PCM-12 minicomputer (ROM-less, PDP-8 clone) - Fluke 9010A (really! it has a CPU, and ROMs for v1.3 firmware are dumped already AFAIK. Older firmwares are needed dumps, dumps of 1.3a and 1.3b exist AFAIK.) - Wavetek/Digelec EP804 EPROM programmer (again, it has a CPU, and I need to back up the ROMs anyway. Have v1.4 ROMs on an old-MB unit at home which needs dumping; have 2.0? ROMs as well which need the newer MB. About 7 ROM revs exist total.) ROMs version 1.4, 1.6 fully dumped, 2.0 is dumped but missing the mapper PROM or PAL. Driver done by myself and Balrog. ---- ===== Specifications for Speech Synthesis LSI ===== ---- ^ Device ^ Manufacturer ^ Announced ^ Synthesis Algorithm ^ Process ^ Voltage (V) ^ Pins ^ Internal ROM (bit) ^ External ROM (bit) ^ Minimum Configuration ^ Bit rate (Kb/sec) ^ No. of Bits Encoded ^ Frame Period (ms) ^ Bits / Frame ^ Vocabulary Size ^ Std.
