Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me.

I have a small breakout board with the 144 pin cpu on it. What is the bare minimum of pins used to make it run a vga monitor and a keyboard? I tried to read the schematic for the 144 pin board , but it gets a bit run together on my monitor and hard to read. I have built from the 24 pin to 64 pin boards and love them. Have not had this much fun since college electronics. Thank you all for the great projects.
