Revision as of 11:31, 23 January 2023
The F256 Jr is a 65C02 based system that includes the following features:
- 512K of Shared System & Video RAM (256k on the Rev A)
- 256k of flash
- 256k of cartridge ram/rom
- TinyVICKY Graphic Chip (CFP9599)
- 1x Simple 3-wire UART (RS-232 Port, Feather ESP8266 wifi, or Feather MIDI)
- 2x Atari Style Joystick Ports, 1x DB9 to interface to NES/SNES Adapter (For Rev B Only)
- 1x IEC Port to interface to Commodore Drives
- 2x Internal PSG Sound Chip
- 2x External SID Sockets
Hardware Setup
Kernels
There are two kernels for the Jr.
