I just would like to know if other users are experiencing the same issue, or whether it's just my system that is flawed. In the end, I decided to return the Pocket386 via Aliexpress, as the non-working time/date is too annoying for me to bother keeping it. I cringe at the idea of having to enter...

I haven't dismantled it yet, but actually I cannot see any. I think there is none. For sure, it cannot hold the time/date.

Just a question, for those of you who got the Pocket386. Does your computer hold the date? Mine doesn't. I setup the new date and time and, the moment I reset the computer, the date/time is back to 1948...

Unfortunately, when I ordered mine that option wasn't available. If you decide to sell a CGA card, let me know...

I guess the card is a good workaround to the lack of Intel 8088 support in the Book 8088 V2. I tried to contact DZT's Store for one, but he seems to be out of them. I own the KM180VM88 and the KR1810VM88 too (the former is the military, ceramic version and the latter is the plastic version) and...

Unfortunately, I was unsuccessful running the Book8088 on an Intel 8088 (or clone) - I own a Book8088 v2. From what I understood, the VGA BIOS uses pusha/popa instructions somewhere and, as these are 80186 instructions, it crashes the 8088 (but not the V20). Returning to my original question: I...

Hi guys. Just a question: did anybody manage to buy this adapter for the Book8088? Apparently it's sold out. Maybe it's possible to re-create it in KiCad and make it available (e.g. via PCBWay or github)? I don't have a blank PCB to attempt that myself... But most importantly: does it allow the...

Hi Dave. Yes, the TopMax swaps a couple of bits in the JEDEC, which makes it incompatible with, say, EZ-Abel or CUPL's outputs. But this affects only this programmer, as far as I know. If you're not using the TopMax (e.g. Advin, Xeltek, DataIO, BeeProg, etc.), you should be absolutely fine...

for the TopMax, or ChipMax, if your desktop has a parallel port (I added one on mine, you can get it for cheap from Amazon), you can use DOSBox, VMWare or VirtualBox, map the parallel port and use either TopMax for DOS or for Windows. I tried both and I was able to run them without any issues...

Hi Dave. I was looking for a WinCUPL able to create 82S100 JEDECs, my versions don't have this part anymore. Generally I use the old DOS-based EZ-ABEL for this purpose. Can you eventually share it? As a programmer I personally use a Xeltek SuperPro 3000U, which works fine with Windows 7 (x64...

Hi Alex. If you're buying from China, I strongly suggest you to do that. I bought some PLS100 from Aliexpress, sometime ago, and they were all written - thus a pile of useless scrap electronics.

Hi. As you correctly noted, the PLS100F is the same as the PLS100N but in a ceramic packaging. So, what is the difference between the two? Let's put it like this: Ceramic has better thermal conductivity than plastic, which allows for better heat dissipation; Ceramic packages can provide a...

Hello VCF community, I recently acquired a Kantronics The Interface RTTY-CW-uP Terminal Unit from eBay. Unfortunately, it did not come with the manual and I'm having trouble figuring out how to connect it to my Commodore 64. I found a manual online, but it does not specifically address the...
