It appears, as I read it, that this may be the last moment to purchase an F18A FPGA VDP VGA board, a highly enhanced hardware replacement for the VDP in systems using the TMS9918A graphics chip, such as the TI-99/4A, ColecoVision, and MSX systems.
It seems the last pre-order from SHIFT838 ends on March 7 -- and that will be -it- for production of this unit by SHIFT838.
So, if you want one, now is the time. (I have one in my '99 and it's driving the 80-column ANSI display shown in my earlier toot.)
