Blake Patterson<p>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. </p><p>It seems the last pre-order from SHIFT838 ends on March 7 -- and that will be -it- for production of this unit by SHIFT838. </p><p>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.)</p><p><a href="https://www.shift838.com/store/index.php?rt=product/product&product_id=5" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">shift838.com/store/index.php?r</span><span class="invisible">t=product/product&product_id=5</span></a> </p><p><a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/TI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TI</span></a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/TI99" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TI99</span></a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/TI994a" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TI994a</span></a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/ColecoVision" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ColecoVision</span></a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/MSX" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MSX</span></a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/vintagecomputing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>vintagecomputing</span></a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/retrocomputing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>retrocomputing</span></a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/vintagehardware" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>vintagehardware</span></a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/tech" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>tech</span></a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/FPGA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FPGA</span></a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/VGA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>VGA</span></a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/upgrades" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>upgrades</span></a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/TMS9918A" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TMS9918A</span></a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/GPU" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GPU</span></a></p>
