I'm not sure if this should be in the Hardware or Software category, since it's a bit of both. Please feel free to relocate it, if necessary. I have a WiFi modem that I use with my TRS-80 Model 100. The kind with RS232 on one end, a wireless router connection on the other, and an ESP32 in the...

I had one of these in the late 80's. Great little monitor. Much better than my friends' 1702s. It comes with a smoked plastic cover that goes on the front and covers most of it. It really helps improve the picture. It is also the first thing to get lost, and I think why some people think it...

In my experience, it should be fine. I had a Hayes modem hooked up to my Commodore 64 through a similar user port adapter, and would regularly bring it over to a friend's house to use on his VIC-20. However, my adapter was not your adapter, so I'll defer to any electronics experts in this form...

That's the one. Hard-core Atari enthusiasts say it's doing well, but I don't know how reliable they are as a source. I'm not a fan of the new company because it's also into crypto. But hey, new paddles!

There are still many dozens of horse racing tracks in America from New York to California. It's a $3.5 billion industry that employs close to four million people. Betting on horses in America was $12 billion in 2021. I'd say there is certainly a market for this kind of program.

If you get tired of scrounging for working paddle parts (as I did), the latest incarnation of Atari started making new paddles at the end of last year. I got a pair for Christmas, and they're surprisingly good.

The Atari VCS doesn't output composite. It outputs RF. It can be modified to add composite output, but that requires adding a bunch of circuitry to the machine.

I'm late to the discussion, but at one time I worked for a large three-letter broadcast network, and there was a VAX at each company-owned station. It was used by the Accounting department and to schedule commercials (the "Traffic" department). I never used it directly, but was the daily...

I'm of zero help to you with hardware, but I am the former owner of one of these machines. So my advice to you is to find a program that will let you run EGA programs on the Convertible. I think it was called something like SimEGA. I used it to play SimCity on my Convertible, even though the...

I thought the IBM PC could run CP/M natively. Why did people produce Z-80 cards for it? Was there software available for Z-80 CP/M machines that wouldn't work on the 8088 CP/M?

It's just sad how much vintage computer information is locked up in proprietary, arbitrary systems like Google Groups, or worse — Facebook. Few people realize that they're an "AI" hiccup away from being permanently locked out of these companies. Thankfully, people still post manuals to...

Do you mind if I ask who the intended audience is for this item? Was the Newton keyboard so good that people want to use it on a full-size computer? Or is it intended to interface with some other piece of portable electronics?

Any thought about selling assembled units? What do you think the price would be for something like that?

Thanks. I'll put that in a list to look at another day. Honestly, I don't care enough to go through all of that, assuming it even works. (My experience compiling things from GitHub is that it rarely "just works.") I have too many other things to tinker with. Since you've already done this...

Unfortunately, CG Term crashes on startup on the latest macOS. And CCGMSx does not have a Macintosh version.
