GGLABS Terminal V0.12f
Submitted by GG on Tue, 12/17/2019 - 18:27A new version of GTERM is available here
GTERM is a newly developed VT100 terminal emulator for the Commodore 64. GTERM supports the GLINK232/swiftlink and the GLINK232T/Turbo232 UART cartridges. It features a custom monochrome software 80 columns display and supports serial speeds up to 115200 bauds on a stock c64.
GGLABS Memory Test V0.44
Submitted by GG on Sun, 09/15/2019 - 00:39GMT (GGLABS Memory Test) is a new developed memory test for vintage computers optimized for speed and coverage. The code is based on the test algorithms described in "Testing Semiconductor Memories: Theory and Practice" by A.J. van de Goor. The program is mostly in C plus small sections in assembly. It is free software and released under the GPL v3 license.
CGA2RGBv2 - Digital RGBI to analog RGB for C128 and IBM PC MDA/CGA/EGA
Submitted by GG on Fri, 07/12/2019 - 20:58The 80 column output of the Commodore 128 is the same digital RGBI used by the original IBM CGA graphics adapter. Unfortunately nowadays is quite difficult to find a monitor with the suitable RGBI input. The CGA2RGBv2 adapter will convert the TTL RGBI to analog RGB suitable to be connected directly to a 15KHz capable RGB monitor or to the popular Gonbes GBS-8200 VGA converter.
UNICART - Universal Commodore 64/128 Cartridge
Submitted by GG on Tue, 06/04/2019 - 20:01After we developed the UNICART/D many customers asked for a more compact version of the cartridge without the pass-through connector. The board uses one standard PLCC32 flash ROM up to 4Mbit. In C64 mode 8K, 16K and 16K Ultimax cartridge modes are supported. In C128 mode both 16K and 32K cartridges are supported.
UNICART/D - Universal Commodore 64/128 Cartridge with Passthrough
Submitted by GG on Sat, 02/02/2019 - 14:58This cartridge was originally developed to speed up the manufacturing diagnostic of our GRAM and GLINK232 products. Having to load the diagnostic for every board is pretty tedious and time consuming. The UNICART/D allows to have a custom ROM for both C64 and C128 while allowing to still plug in an additional cartridge.
GLINK232T - Turbo232 UART cartridge for Commodore 64/128
Submitted by GG on Tue, 01/15/2019 - 09:53Both the commodore 64 and the 128 have a software UART implementation that limits the useful speed to 2400 bauds. To work around this limitation Dr. Evil Labs and later CMD produced the SwiftLink232 and Turbo232 cartridges based on the 6551 ACIA chip. Both of these have been out of production for a very long time. GLINK232T is a modern replacement for the CMD Turbo232 allowing the commodore 64/128 to communicate at speeds up to 230400 bauds.

GRAM/4D - 4MB geoRAM Compatible RAM Expansion for Commodore 64/128
Submitted by GG on Sun, 09/02/2018 - 10:41The geoRAM is a 512KB memory expansion for the Commodore 64 and 128 designed by Berkeley Softworks for use with GEOS. While not as fast as the Commodore REU due to its lack of DMA capabilities, it still provides a significant performance boost. GRAM/4D is a 4MB geoRAM compatible cartridge based on a two 4Mx4 DRAM devices.
