My new little project - CD32 Expansion Slot (prototype)
Expansion port and VGA connector designed for Amiga CD32.

Looks compact and nice. :great
And should be easy enough to 3d print a suitable cover for it. |
Nice... Any plans for peripherals for the pass-through slot? :)
|
Looks nice, what's the reasoning for vga?

That's cool for monitors, but as a console i think most people use them with their TV, RGB would have been better imo, sure you can get VGA to HDMi convertors, but then you need audio cables and connectors on your TV too.

@Amigajay
I don't think it's a scandoubler (though correct me if I'm wrong), so the output will be 15kHz RGB that just happens to be using a VGA connector. Since 23-pin connectors are scarce (and wouldn't fit there anyway), it makes sense to use a VGA connector and then hopefully a simple passive adaptor could be used to connect to SCART. Effectively it would simply be the same as current RGB-SCART cables for the Amiga with a different connector on the Amiga end. CSync and pull-up/switch voltages would need to be added, but with careful consideration of the VGA pinout and design, these could be passed along spare VGA pins in a similar way to how KVMs do it. |

Would those planned expansions work also with kipper2k's pass-through connector, which I already have? Quote:

@spidi: great work.
@everyone else: Please don't let this thread devolve into a feature request/wish list. Support spidi without asking him to fulfill your needs. If he wants suggestions I'm sure he'll ask for it. |
Nice work? open source it and save me from completing my riser?

I'm fine with just a pass-through if an expansion is made to go inside, anything else added or not, I don't care for. The main thing CD32 users need is a way for people to make expansions (RAM, IDE, etc) without having to rely in getting these annoying connectors. And this new adapter is a very welcome addition. I would definitely buy one even though I already have a kipper one. And if you are making an open source option, even better. |

Exactly. I posted that link for you, remember?

So yeah, I'd welcome any and all CD32 expansions, no matter how they are done. |
