“A Series of Experiment to Create an ISA 8-Bit Video Card
With the goal of creating an 8-bit ISA Video cards, this project is to create a series of experimental boards to validate portions of the design.
This project aims to recreate the original design for the IBM MDA and CGA video cards with modern output methods of TFT LCD, VGA and DVI. The inspiration for the project came from the The Cheap Video Cookbook from Dan Lancaster. There are a few additional accessory projects that assist in development of this project. They include:
8-Bit ISA I/O Card
8-Bit ISA ROM Card
LCD Interface Board
PC ROM Bios Extension Tools
Additional I’ve created a Hackaday.io list with various projects and info:
