2024-03-02: The wiki ran out of disk space, so things were not working. This has been resolved by adding another 5GB of quota ;-) Thanks to Tim Lindner for reporting the issues. 2020-05-17: If a page gives you an error about some revision not being found, just EDIT the page and the old page should appear in the editor. If it does, just SAVE that and the page should be restored. OS-9 Al (talk) 12:22, 17 May 2020 (CDT)

GIME is/was a custom ASIC chip used in the Color Computer 3. It was designed by VLSI.

Known Versions

  • PCB Prototypes - Implemented in discreet logic on the large PCB prototype units. Microware was known to have had at least two of these units, which today are in the collection of User:AllenHuffman.
  • Pre-Production - Launch-title developers received early production run CoCo 3s that had pre-production GIME chips. At least two variations are known to exist. We need to catalog and document them here.
  • 1986 - Code named "Tequila". This was the original production GIME. It contained some bugs that were fixed in a second revision.
  • 1087 - Code named "Tortilla".

Emulations

  • Software - The GIME is emulated in software in the various CoCo 3 emulators.
  • FPGA - The GIME is recreated in virtual hardware in the FPGA systems.

Expansions

  • GIME-X
