Hello everyone! This is my first post on the forum and I hope it finds you well, I honestly should have joined quite a long ago but my mom had a stroke so I have been busy dealing with that.
As the title states I have a decked-out Epson PX-16 and I am willing to offer help with hardware schematics + software on ROM as well as would like addons in return for what I'm offering specific to the PX-16, and here's also a video of it in action on reddit.
My unit is equipped with;
• Modified parallel printer port reroute(DB-25) and system RAM with 128KB being reserved for BIOS? (640RAM+640SYS, determined by custom wiring on PCb)
• 1280KB RAM(1.28MB, 384KB×3)
• ROMs containing several games, Turbopascal 7, QBASIC, Norton commander+rar/unrar tools, and Derive, 4×512KB 1×256KB DIP32 - Willing to share these in exchange.
• TF-16 5.25in 360K DS/DD double disk drive with one being replaced to an emulator - Also willing to share wiring schematic as well since it's a straight connection in exchange, but I actually have not done it yet so maybe this will give me a reason to lol
• Custom FDD/CRT(TF-16+M/CGA, used to be LCD80/2 but keeping the LCD for parts) cartridge 2
• 80/25LCD(LCD/80) cartridge 2
• Barcode reader (PX-16/EHT-10/B)
• High-speed dot-matrix printer cartridge 1 (PX-16)
• 16KB RAM cartridge 1 (PX-4)
• 512KB ROM cartridge 1(PX-4 2×256KB DIP 28)
• EPROM programmer cartridge "||" cartridge 1 (PX-4&PX-16? DIP28-32)
What I would like in exchange;
• CSM MEL-PX Mitsubishi MEL card reader cartridge, doesn't have to include the ROM for it(I already made one)
• 40×10 LCD screen (LCD/40)
• 3.5inch Disk drive unit (does not have to contain disk drives or floppies, e.g can be empty)
• EPROM cartridge programmer software
• MS-DOS&GW-BASIC reference manuals (any language)
• Modem, Development board or RS-232 ASYNC expansion units
• Touchscreen LED-backlit Keyboard (big doubt on that due to rarity lol)
• Custom user-made cartridges
*If you have a PX-16 you want to get rid of that contains something I need I may be open to taking the whole unit as well but it would probably be used for parts.
I would also be open to PX-4 parts (mainly cartridges) as well.
For the PX-4 I have (in addition to several PX-4s in varying states that I may also be interested in getting together in exchnage for PX-16 parts);
• 128K expansion unit with/1MB ROM
• RAM/ROM/EPROM cartridges
• Printer(×2) and a non-functioning microcassette cartridge, empty universal cartridges (×3 PX-4 ×1 PX-16)
• Partial mechanical and full chiclet/reduced item keyboards
• English/German/French?/Japanese ASCII keyboards
• ROM Software up the wazoo, including Japanese specific programs and operating systems
• Barcode reader
• CP-20 Acoustic coupler (Japanese CX-20)
• Ivie SPC-40 Audio Spectrum Analyzer expansion unit w/software (what got me started originally)
• EPSON&TWR P-40 thermal printers - both dead
• Various floppy emulators
•(to soon come to fruition) Recreated Oval UD display device (Big thanks to CrashedFiesta and Fred as I'm not able to make one myself due to a genetic skeletal condition)
• Graphtec MiTablet-2 KD-4030 Digitizer tablet w/software
PX-4 wants;
• Digital multimeter cartridge with software
• IC RAM Card cartridge
• Modem cartridge
• Custom user-made
• Surprise me? lol
