CHAPTER
TWO
THINGS YOU’LL NEED
The following items are included in your MEGA65 box:
1. Your MEGA65 personal computer
2. Power supply
3. The MEGA65 User’s Guide
4. Your personal registration code, on a piece of paper
5. The internal SD memory card (installed inside the MEGA65)
For this Guide, you will also need:
1. A PC running Windows, Mac, or Linux, with Internet access
2. An SD memory card reader for your PC, with microSD card support or an SD-to-microSD adapter
3. A monitor that supports either DVI (HDMI) or VGA, with an appropriate cable or adapter
4. If not using a monitor that supports audio over HDMI, speakers or headphones with a mini audio plug
5. A microSD memory card, type SDHC, between 4 GB and 32 GB
6. A Phillips head screwdriver
The following are optional but will be fun additions to your MEGA65 experience:
1. A joystick or gamepad compatible with Commodore computers, with a nine-pin (DE-9) connector
2. A Commodore 1351 mouse, an Amiga mouse, or a modern replacement such as a mouSTer USB mouse adapter
3. A CR1220 watch battery
4. 3-1/2” floppy disks, either type DD or HD
And if you want to get really serious:
1. The XMOD FTDI JTAG Adapter TE0790-03
2. Mini USB B to USB A cable, to connect between your PC and the JTAG adapter
Tip: The compatible JTAG adapter is difficult to find right now. Alternatively, you can use a more common USB UART
adapter, with important caveats. See Use of an USB UART adapter as alternative to a JTAG adapter. A misconfigured
or mis-wired UART adapter may damage the computer.
