Background
This page was first created as a
placeholder when Martin
and I were planning to develop a CFX-III.
This was going to be a development of
CFX-II, intended to improve
the quality of the graphics output. Whilst CFX-II worked well, the VGA
output was not all that I had hoped, with some "noise" being
displayed on some, but not all, VGA monitors and I didn't feel
comfortable making more than the original batch of 10.
For various reasons, Martin and I
rethought the aims of the project and decided that, whilst a
Compact Flash based solution was still a possibility, the waning
popularity of CF, the increasing prices of CF cards and the lack
of a built-in CF interface on most PCs meant that SD card was really a
better option.
We have now developed a different
expansion board for the MTX which includes additional functions
and have released it as the Memotech Multi Function eXpansion
card - MFX.
Design Goals
-
CP/M Disk system based on SD card
-
RAM Expansion up to 512kB (starting
from 32k/MTX500 and 64k/MTX512)
-
VGA Output for CP/M (80 columns) and
VDP (40 columns & graphics)
-
Network
Connectivity based on the work done for
NFX
-
Utilizing a low cost FPGA development
board
-
Designed for internal mounting only
Mark Heslop (RetroRelix)
has done a nice
YouTube video about the Memotech MTX which includes demos of
MAGROM and MFX. Click the

(Mark purchased MAGROM and MFX from me at
the prevailing prices, these favorable reviews were unsolicited
-
thanks a lot Mark!)
