EDIT: an update is HERE
This time it is not a story but rather a piece of news. Willy/Lamers and me, we are working on a TED replacement project. As we all know, TED is very often fried in all those precious C16s, C116s or Plus/4s and there is no replacement. We aim to change it so we’ve started the ThED project.
We already have a working PoC but we still have a lot to do to get it fully working. We will show our PoC at SillyVenture party which happen to start tomorrow – 6th of Dec 2019
I will be writing updates on retrohax.net and on FaceBook fan page so if you are interested in this project, then make sure you are subscribed and follow us on FB 🙂
The ThED will be available through the retrohax.net webshop.
Here are some pics of a working PoC along with R&D desk 😀
Very nice! I just picked up a Commodore 16 (well two, a really good condition one with box, then one trashed one for parts) a few weeks ago, that’s in need of repairs. I think the TED on both might still be alright, but if a replacement is needed, it’s good to see something modern is coming up 🙂
Just curious, I see you’re using HDMI in the proof of concept version, is the replacement going to do analog video like composite and split Y/C too? HDMI will come in handy, but I still prefer the glow of my Commodore 1702 🙂
It is USB and is only a part of a dev kit. The final solution will be a drop-in replacement so you will only have a standard option like in stock computer 🙂
Wow i want some of those😎
Any price in mind?
Hi, not yet. This is very early phase of the project.

Wspaniała wiadomość! Trzymam kciuki i czekam na aktualizację 🙂
cool! hope it can give some of those retro commodores second life
Been following this and am very eager for more news! I would love to revive my c16
This looks promising. I have a few Plus4’s that need the TED.
