    Pets and filter caps - magic smoke worry??

    So I took the board out and popped the plate covering the fuse and ac cord slot. I don’t think there is a filter cap in my pet. Does this look stock?

    Pets and filter caps - magic smoke worry??

    I have had my CBM 2001 for about a year and a half. Picked it up locally non working but turned out to be bad solder joints on the crt board. Has been working great ever since. I power it up once a week and run a demo on it. Watched an Adrian video this morning and he said that his pet had...

    VCF East this weekend! Who’s coming???

    I’m getting there Friday late morning with my buddy. Was there last year and had a great time! I’ll be rocking out my normal grey amiga baseball cap. Plan on bringing a few treasures for consignment, trade and the free pile. Traveling from Maryland. Who else is coming and how far are you...

    OLPC XO-1

    Yea the seller said they were original owner and had done the buy one give one program back in the day. Battery still holds a charge and it is in great shape cosmetically. I had heard that it is possible to dual boot xp using the sd card slot on the machine. I’ll have to explore this

    Sharp x68000 z - a decent alternative?

    Glad you got it working! I have not used that specific hard drive image on my system so can’t speak to setting game options I’ll try and test it out. I ended up getting a Japanese wireless keyboard for my z and real unit and have not had issues with any characters not being recognized correctly.

    OLPC XO-1

    Grabbed an xo-1 in really good condition. I remember seeing these advertised back in the day and promoting the program. I’ll get doom running on it eventually

    Sharp x68000 z - a decent alternative?

    Try this hard drive image: https://nfggames.com/forum2/index.php?topic=7231.0 The x68000z site only has blank hard drive images. You would need to install the xdf images to the hard drive and then create .bat files to mount them and run off the drive. These guys took all the grunt work out...

    Announcing ZuluIDE - an ATAPI CD-ROM and Removable (read-write) media emulator

    I grabbed a board have been wanting something like this for a long time! Any chance cd emulation had support with audio cards via aux cables? Would be awesome if we could connect them up and get cd track audio. I didn’t see any headers on the board that looked like that but maybe future...

    PEB 32K Memory Troubleshooting - Bad RAM

    I did some more troubleshooting and then just decided to pull chips I couldn’t safely probe while the card was in the PEB. Found 2 bad chips in the first 4 that I took out and still had ram failure in the test. Going to take out the next 4 later this week.

    PEB 32K Memory Troubleshooting - Bad RAM

    Thanks for the reply! I had piggybacked only 4 chips at a time on the higher bank and it did not work. I’ll try doing all of the RAM and see if I get any success. It’s hard to gauge if the ram is making good contact especially since the card sits vertically in the PEB

    PEB 32K Memory Troubleshooting - Bad RAM

    I was lucky enough to get a PEB locally. It only came with the interface card. I sourced a 32k card online listed as untested. You know what that means ;) I have finalgrom and a tipi32k sidecar. I found a memory tester cartridge file online and ran that against the card. Upper block is...

    Gotek / FF on Model 3

    I can’t take credit for that someone online came up with the idea. I can’t find the YouTube video at the moment but seems to be working so far. Model 3 keyboards are a pain. I can’t remember where I got my edge connector adapters but they worked great for me. Definitely check out cabling...
