New beta firmware v.24b4 released

New beta firmware v.24b4 released

The firmware “v.24 beta 4” for the RCT has been available for a few days now.

There are many minor and major improvements, such as
– a simple clock generator (300 Hz to 8 MHz in 46 steps)
– the identification of unknown logic ICs
– improved support for exotic SRAMs, such as the EMM4200

There is also a new adapter for the rather exotic DRAMs Motorola MCM6605 and Intersil IM7505A (the Gerber files will be released soon).

New firmware v.23 released

There are many minor and major improvements.

A feature that has been often requested is the loop mode for logic tests. This must be configured before use (see manual). I have not yet been able to test it with all 1200(!) supported logic ICs, so it cannot be ruled out that one or the other IC may have problems with the loop mode.

There are five new adapters available (the Gerbers have already been published), e,g. you can test the Intel 8155/8156 or the Mostek MK28000.

Some “new” memory ICs are supported (MM5298A/B DRAM and 720x FIFO RAM), and also several logic ICs have been added.
