Hi, All,
We've talked about using a 4116 or 4164 for an image sensor, as was
done in the days of yore when CCD image sensors were exotic and
expensive, and I've tracked down some info (beyond just the Ciarcia
Circuit Celler articles in BYTE Sep/Oct 1983), but several forum posts
and a Russian webpage or two point to "kuckuck.zip", which I can't
find online nor via
archive.org.
One former location:
http://www.vampyr.msk.ru/electroniks/kuckuck.zip
Did anyone on this list happen to snag a copy? The oldest reference I
found to it was on a robotics forum in 1997. The newest is around
2007, with a mention that other links to that file were dead even
then. My best guess from browsing
archive.org is that the file was
there until 2008. It's not there now, and
archive.org didn't keep a
copy of it.
I decided to go digging because I did the "decapped 4116" in an Apple
II, 30 years ago (I still have that DRAM on my pads of ancient chips),
and a friend of mine has recently delved into retrocomputing on the
Apple II and I was telling him tales about hardware hacking the Apple.
Thanks for any assistance in tracking this down,
