alex_79 Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 I searched the forums, but I didn't find this mentioned.I just found out that the "Color Bar Generator" cartridge from Videosoft was published in the "Radio Electronics" magazine as a DIY project.The article can be found in the August 1984 issue, pages 41-43 (you can download it from here). In the article by Jerry Lawson and Dan McElroy there are PCB layouts to etch your own board, a list of components (which only consists in the eprom and inverter IC) and a brief overview about the VCS hardware (the TIA is referred to as VIC, which stands for Video Interface Circuit and it's how it is called on VCS documentation from Coleco ) and the Color Bar Generator functions.There's also the address and pricelist for ordering from VideoSoft.You could buy the fully assembled cartridge, the kit or, interestingly, the source code listing, in case you wanted to burn your own eprom. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fiddlepaddle Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 I wonder if the person who has that PO Box now ever gets any inquiries for Video Soft? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
