Jussi Kilpeläinen's core memory shield

2016-05-02 [updated 2020-11-12; 2024-10-24]

Jussi Kilpeläinen created a core memory shield, similar in some ways to ours, but using a CPLD instead of discrete logic for the decoding. He also added one feature which was missing from our design — a blinkenlight. He then needed to design a revised version in 2019, as the CPLD was being discontinued.

For a time, the design was available in kit form on Tindie, but it is now retired.

We received a couple of enquiries about a kit, but we didn't have the time to put one together, so it's great that this was available.

(Just to be clear, we had no commercial links to this product.)
