CBM 8296 with Supersoft Graphics Card

Post by PeterWard »

Hi All,

I have just finished restoring a CBM 8296 back to health, didn't take much work just a good clean really and a couple of dry joints.

The system originally came with a Supersoft Graphics board, although it wasn't physically installed when I got it.

Does anybody have any infomation relating to this board or know where to go for it, I have checked Funet, google and 6502.org with little success.

I would really like to get it installed and going, if only for curiosity.

Many thanks in advance for any help.

Pete.

The place to ask is the CBM Hackers mailing list, or the PET Alive forum...

It looks like an interesting board. I have the Commodore High Speed Grafix board myself. If you have no luck finding info I'd be willing to purchase it from you in order to try to reverse engineer it...

Oh, and you should cover up the EPROM window so the contents aren't lost. Do you have any way to dump those EPROMs? Disassembling the code could reveal something.
