Subject: What to use a 4.5" B&W TV for?
Hi,
Throw some ideas at me. I've got an old 4.5" B&W portable television which
I
can use for something fun, such as a portable Pong game, portable TRS-80, or
whatever.
What would you like seen done with it? I'm all ears.
Alexis.
With an embedded CRT controller (e.g. 6845) and some memory you could build
an tiny / cool / goofy terminal ;-) You probably also need a small CPU in it.
Attach a mini keyboard, build it together in one housing, wrote some software.
AFAIK, the vt4 project from Bob Armstrong connects to a VGA monitor. Pity,
because the vt4 will also connect a PS/2 keyboard.
Maybe a vt4 plus VGA->composite conversion?
