Minimalist Europe Card Bus (MECB) - TMS992x or TMS9918 VDP Display Card - v2.0 Update!

This video follows on from my earlier Minimalist Europe Card Bus videos.

Recently, someone mentioned that they were planning on using a TMS9918 VDP chip, with the MECB TMS VDP Display Card.

As I live in a PAL 50Hz TV standard country, my original experimentation with the TMS VDP chip (and also the chips I had in my parts drawer), were all TMS9929A 50Hz parts.

The TMS9929A VDP variant, and its TMS9928A 60Hz "NTSC market" equivalent, feature Color Difference outputs, intended for an external color (colour) encoder circuit.

Join me as I update the MECB VDP Display Card to v2.0, which adds support for the TMS9918A variant.
