MediaWiki:Sitenotice
2026-03-12: Cocopedia.com is now using a new caching system that should make things faster. Please let me know if you encounter any new issues.

2026-03-15: MediaWiki has been reinstalled and the old database and files restored. It was pretty clogged up from being upgraded so many times since 2004. I am also testing out Cloudflare to see if it can prevent the 'bot assaults that took the site down last year.

2026-03-16: Special thanks to Don Barber for hosting a backup mirror of CoCopedia: https://cocopedia.dgb3.net

  • Design Criteria - Guidelines for what gets added, what stays, and what goes.
  • Standards and Procedures - What kinds of information do we expect to put in the following subsections?
  • Architectural Overview - Here's the big picture. Block diagrams of major subsystems, etc.
  • CPU / MMU - Design specifications for the processor, memory management unit, and DRAM controller, system bus, etc.
  • Video - Video display hardware.
  • Audio - Sound input and output.
  • Other I/O - Built-in I/O devices, such as serial, parallel, IDE, and memory card.
  • Software Issues - Software and firmware that may be distributed with CC-Five systems.
  • Work Allocation - Rubber, meet Road. Who's actually going to work on this stuff?
