  • Circuit outline for Auxiliary Video Extension?

    Is there a more complete AVE schematic?

    Surfing for an IBM patent for the AVE turns up nothing. A patent might
    have a more detailed AVE circuit description...

    Foundt a little more detailed schematic that references the buffers as Tri-State. At this point, it seems like they used 244s? Maybe 245s?

    Looking at the G191 XGA Serializer Palette-DAC. https://ardent-tool.com/datasheets/INMOS_IMSG191.pdf

    Page 3, middle of right functions.

    Video Feature Bus Interface

    Under "Feature Bus Control" are:
    AuxVidEVideo
    AuxVidESync
    AuxVidEDClk

    "Video Feature Bus"
    AuxVidData0-7
    notAuxVidBlank
    AuxVidHSync
    AuxVidPClkIn
    AuxVidPClkOut

    More meditation needed

    G190 does not use a PLL, does not have PClk...
