PicoMEM including high quality 3d printed bracket in silver color, special version with audio output.


Serdaco special revision 1.20 A :
  • Integrated PCM5102A audio stereo DAC
  • High quality silver color 3D printed bracket with 3.5mm stereo line out connector
  • Gold plated PCB, routed for superb audio quality
  • Preloaded and tested with Oct 05 24 latest firmware from https://github.com/FreddyVRetro/ISA-PicoMEM

The PicoMEM is an 8-bit ISA expansion card powered by the Raspberry Pi RP2040 microcontroller.
Designed as an all-in-one solution for ISA-based vintage PCs, it comes packed with features to enhance functionality.

Features:
  • Integrated PCM5102 Stereo audio DAC for adlib, CMS and Tandy sound support
  • Integrated Bootable ROM: Enables in-system configuration and booting from any vintage system with Option ROM support.
    Press "S" at boot to configure and select disk images, memory settings, and more.
  • MicroSD Card Reader: Allows storage of multiple floppy and hard drive images (disk .img files). 
  • RAM : Upgrade conventional memory and add UMB (128kb with 0 wait state other from external PSRAM)
  • EMS Memory: Supports 4MB of EMS memory with current drivers.
  • USB Support: Provides USB mouse and joystick support via a Micro USB OTG hub.
  • NE2000 Network Emulation: Currently in beta, this feature works through the RP2040's integrated Wi-Fi module.
    Note that no external antenna is supported, which may reduce signal strength in some computer cases.
  • Firmware Updates: Easily update the firmware by copying a single file to the PicoMEM via a Micro USB cable.
    The card will automatically reboot and run the updated firmware.
  • ROM Addressing: Cards are preset to ROM address 0xD000, allowing coexistence with XTIDE BIOS on existing CF adapters.
