Pi1541 Hat Kit Build & Test w/RaspPI Zero
Вставка
- Опубліковано 28 сер 2023
- In this video I assemble, configure, test and troubleshoot a Pi1541 hat on a Raspberry Pi Zero.
I hit a few snags along the way but ultimately things seem to work ok for the most part. My Fixit Felix Jr bench mark was a bit slower than the SDIEC. I am not sure if that is by design and how a physical 1541 would be. I need to read and see if the SDIEC has some shortcuts in addition to the speedup from JiffyDOS. Or its just the PiZero having a hard time keeping up. We shall see.
I love my sd2iec and kung fu flash cart, I just wanted to check out one of these.

As I always say, if you've not already, go check out my awesome neighbor-in-retro, @retroCombs ! He's got good stuff!
If you have actually read this far down and would like a HackShack sticker, figure out a way to get in touch with me and I'll see what I can do to get one to you! :-D

Hey, I got a shout out! Thanks much, friend. Watching now and digging it so far. Sure I'll learn a few things I can apply to my own pi1541.
Oh yeah for sure. I couldn't quite remember when I first heard about the pi1541 but I definitely remember you getting that one back a few years ago! Thanks for watching!
Very cool project! Thanks for sharing
Thanks for checking it out!
This project is on my radar as soon as my 1541 disk drive gives up the ghost. I recently got a VIC-II Kawari mini replacement for my NTSC VIC chip, allowing me to enter the world of both NTSC and PAL content at the flip of a software switch, finally allowing me to load all those great European scene demos. Unfortunately, a lot of them rely on the stock 1541 routines and timings, so I can't just load them up with modern storage solutions such as the BackBit cartridge or even the SD2IEC - you have to rely on the 1541 drive, but they are very cleverly written to load ultra fast despite those forced timings.
Sounds like a pretty good use case for one! Thanks for watching/commenting! I'm interested to see if that 25 second load time with jiffy is just based on emulating the real drive and it would never match the speed of the sd2iec. I suppose throwing a more powerful pi under the hat would tell pretty quickly.
Thanks! I just built one up with a Zero 2 W and it works with piezo sound fine. I’m definitely supporting Steve now; as this is an awesome project!
That is awesome. I'd really like to snag a Zero 2 and see if it benches any better. Thanks for supporting his project!
I have a ton of old first gen Pi B’s, and just as many old full size SD cards for them. I need to make some of these and put those old things to use.
I have a few of those it would be interesting to see if they work ok. This zero seems to be chuffing a bit. 😄
@@JamiesHackShack they sell a PiZero 1541 on a cartridge with the Epyx fastloader. I’ve used that with great success for awhile. Honestly, the zero clocks a bit higher than the original Pi. 🤷♂️
@@RetroAnachronist Right thats why I'm worried about the original. It has a pi1541 kernel though so might as well give it a shot :-)
