Where? I've only seen the limited version, not the full version (the full version for Solaris has circulated). The PBook runs 11.00, but I've had no problem coercing 10.x and even 9.x binaries to run on it.

Maybe. I ran it this morning for an hour and got no repeats. The TTY is bad, but that was known (the LED and keypad work and are serviced by the same RRIOT, so I don't think it's that, probably one of the downstream components).

SoftWindows actually recompiled various Windows components for the host system (using WISE), so it had rather good performance for the time. I've not seen a full version of MAE for HP-UX personally, though. Would love to have it, the PrecisionBook would be ideal (a B160L in a Tadpole case).

After I calmed down and hooked it back up again a couple hours later, it runs, passes all of Dwight's tests, and the smell is gone. I might burn it in for a little bit just for confidence but I (fortunately) can't replicate what happened earlier. I really am wondering if there's an intermittent...

(and since it seemed to happen when I reconnected power, I'm worried that somehow +12 got shorted onto +5 or something like that)

Working on my pre-ROR KIM Rev A tonight and when I reconnected the power, I smelled something bad and it went crazy. I immediately powered it off and plugged in Dwight's debug board. The lowest level test will flash the LEDs, but weakly, and I'm noticing the power supply LED also pulsing at the...

Yup, got that from one of your screenshots (and the "stop" login as well).

Strongly suspect RAM (mine had similar symptoms which was cured when I narrowed down which one was faulty). KIMs are notorious for failing RAM chips. Dwight's debug board is absolutely worth building - it will sort out a lot of this stuff very quickly. You can try piggybacking the RAM, but...

It's a nice MP/M system, that's for sure. Just not sure it's $2.7k nice.

You can press ESC to skip that prompt when it appears. The backup coin cell is behind the IR door next to the serial port. The 200LX is a nice little system, though my favourite will always be the 95LX because it was my first PDA (and I like the 40 column screen). If you want the ultimate...

Thanks, working now! Excellent work!

Hmm ... I just tried redownloading it. Different URL? % unzip -v mame_4404_overlay\(1\).zip Archive: mame_4404_overlay(1).zip Length Method Size Cmpr Date Time CRC-32 Name -------- ------ ------- ---- ---------- ----- -------- ---- 45895680 Defl:N 12219439 73%...

Hmm. I don't see ROMs in that folder either?

There are actually two fuses on the 9VAC line, one in the power supply, and a smaller one actually hidden inside the transformer itself. I've blown both of these on my DCR. If the visible fuse is good but the winding on the transformer has no continuity, the internal fuse is shot. This can be...

$432 for the main attraction. I like the form factor of the DECmate II better than the III myself, but I hope it went to a good home.
