DTL-S510B

PS-X Development Kit

I found one another model of the card - DTL-S510B. I think that it's from first devkits of PSY-Q (1994 year). Can you tell me more about this card, such as box consists, rare and what this card for?

 

This hardware model DTL-S510B is from one of first development kits (PSY-Q that was distributed by british company Psygnosis in the first years of PS life)...

 

I bought this card at Yahoo, but not yet received it.

Photos from seller.

 

I guess it's an interface card for the dtl-h500 target box.

 

Some photos of the card.



On card: "SN Systems Ltd. PC AT Interface v2.1 <C> 1993".

 

No. :-( I have a box and card only.

 

It does have a striking resemblance to the CD Emulator card. If you compare the the two you would notice that the CD emulator just has a few more chips on it. Everything else is in the exact same position. From looking at the picture I can tell the following information about it.

IRQ is set to 15
DMA is set to 7
IO Address is set to 308.
SCSI ID is set to 7.

One limited possibility is that in the early developer boards didn't have the 25 pin emulation connector so instead you had to hook to the external side of both this card and the Sony CPU board. Remember the first official PSX development board was the DTL-H2000 which did not have an internal CD-ROM connector. It could also be a CD-ROM convertor board that converts the native PSX CD-ROM commands to the standard SCSI CD-ROM commands.

Of course without drivers and doc it simply is just a nice conversation piece. :icon_bigg

 

I don't have an information about software from early dev kit.

I found post with list of hardware.

I'm still looking for information about software...

 

From the list the dev system they are referring to probably looks like this.

 

It's Target Box, but model number is DTL-H505.

Photos of DTL-H500.



And controllers for Target Box. DTL-H500C.

 

I have the software and the manual for the interface board, if anyone's interested...

And look at my thread http://www.assemblergames.com/forums/showthread.php?t=18503
You'll find a picture of your card on the Psy-q devkit ad from an old EDGE issue.

 

It doesn't need to be described, does it?

 

Hires pictures of the boards in any of those would be very interesting, if anyone has access to them.

 

ASSEMbler, do you have an original FD with the software for this card?

 

...

 

This board looks like the standard PsyQ interface board. It can be used with the PsyQ PS1, MD, 32X & SNES devkits, I used to have all these (recently sold on EBay) and I used the same card for all of them. They use something called PsyBios as the driver which comes with the PsyQ SDK for all these kits and needs to be run from DOS.

 

Can it be used with the Saturn blue card as well? I still have one of those, never been able to wire it up
