It's not my blog post, but I can answer questions about the chip.
- classichasclass 4y agoThanks again, Ken, for your help with this!
- philistine 4y agoHow close is it to the chip in the VCS? Was it a step towards the 6507?
- kens 4y agoThe 6507 chip was essentially a repackaged 6502 microprocessor. The game chip is pretty weird, with a custom microcontroller and a bunch of specialized circuitry. So I don't think there is any connection between them.
- TedDoesntTalk 4y agoI had the Coleco Telstar arcade and all its cartridges, thanks to my parents. I was just a young kid at the time. Thank you for this deep dive into a chip that shaped my childhood.
- chclau 4y agoIf I were you, I would try to reach to the blog poster.
- kens 4y agoI've been working closely on this chip with the writer of the blog post (and with Sean Riddle who took the die photos) for the past month.
- classichasclass 4y agoThat would be me. Ken was very helpful.
