    NEC V20: BRKEM, CALLN and RETEM

    It is very interesting. And what about turning HP 95LX (which has a V20 CPU) into a CP/M 2.2 (or CP/M 3.0) machine?

    What are you running on your machines?

    It's not about resources, it's about convenience. GUI is the most natural interface for human being. By the way GUI was on purpose designed to replace old fashioned command line one, since GUI is the most convenient and the most natural way of interaction between man and machine. So, you may...

    What are you running on your machines?

    For me my vintage machines are something in between tinkering toys, pieces of art and museum items. And I'm glad that I have no need in using them for any practical task since from a practical point of view those pieces of old junk are really awful in comparison with contemporary machines.

    Does anyone else here have an interest in retro portable printers?

    I see. But the question is if old stock ink jet cartridges will work properly.

    Does anyone else here have an interest in retro portable printers?

    Hi Geoff, I've just purchased the MW-100 so it even hasn't arrived yet. I bought it to accompany my Palm Pilot and Sharp Zaurus devices and now looking for a C11 paper, so if your MW-140BT and stock of C11 sachets are looking for a new home I'll be very glad to adopt them (of course I will pay...

    Does anyone else here have an interest in retro portable printers?

    I do. Because of a limited space my interest is concentrated on mobile devices - laptops, handheld computers, pocket computers and PDAs. Consequently I also do have interest in portable printers, mostly dot matrix and thermal ones. Brother MW-100e, Brother PocketJet PJ-520 and PJ-560, Canon...

    Adoption of software from Motorola MC680X based computers to Epson HX-20 - Is it possible?

    Epson HX-20 laptop has a Hitachi HD6301 CPU (actually two of them). From what I've read on the Internet, it is software-compatible with Motorola's MC6801 CPU. So, my question is, whether it is possible to adopt a software written for MC680X CPU based computers to Epson HX-20? And if the answer...

    Epson PX-8 Oval Display Adaptor

    That's amazing! It will be great if in the end your efforts will evolve into a working device. I'll be glad to buy both of those devices (a UD-80 Video Display Controller and a DS-8 Device Switch).
