+Ksarul Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 Yes--the 512K version was a mod (I'm not even sure it was done by Foundation, as they may have already closed up shop by the time this came out). I first saw it as a hack in one of the user group newsletters, IIRC. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickyDean Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 I found this today while I was looking for some blank 3.5 disks. Foundation 512k card. I opened it up to verify it was 512k since it had a 128k with a line through it and it is. I have not verified if the EPROM is the XBII eprom that could be used with this for Myarc XB II. I thought I got rid of all the Foundation cards I had. Guess not. Yes I have several, at least one still in the 128k configuration, some modified to use the Myarc eprom and be seen as Myarc cards, I have at least one as a 512k card like shown in the picture.

+Ksarul Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 I think that is the source of the mod @sparkdrummer. I seem to recall his name with it as well. . . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Ksarul Posted September 2, 2016 Share Posted September 2, 2016 I'm surprised you were able to get the pins for that ZIF socket into the board--the only brand I've seen so far that works for perfect pin insertion into the cartridge boards are the ones from Aries. I have a number of the 32-pin ones, as I occasionally get requests for a board with a ZIF on it. I have a couple of the 42-pin ones as well, but the price on those is a bit crazy. . .

+jedimatt42 Posted September 2, 2016 Share Posted September 2, 2016 I have an ic socket on my red-board, and then added the green ziff to the ic-socket. It is a firm fit. But it looks like Mantadoc's ziff is flush to the pcboard. Were you lucky Mantadoc? Or did you do some machining? -M@ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omega-TI Posted September 17, 2016 Share Posted September 17, 2016 Night Eprom fun I have a couple of questions... 1) Where did you get a RED case? 2) What did you use to do such a nice job cutting that out? Oh yeah, BTW - Nice label! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sinphaltimus Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 (edited) You know. Yes, that would be great. But there's something about this beat up look I can't get over. It looks like a PEB that belongs on the Neb. http://matrix.wikia.com/wiki/Nebuchadnezzar I'm really in no rush and am going to leave it like this for a while. It'll look great in my dungeon. I'm half tempted to take the tv out of its case to show the innards but the dust and risk of electric shock tells me no. I almost want to slap stickers all over the peb lol.

Sinphaltimus Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 Yeah, each one is in a different card from top to bottom display is Interface, 32k, disk controller, in peb same order left to right.I've been letting the peb site idle (connected to TI sitting idle) in a relatively cool basement (under 70 degrees F)The temps re sitting idle at around 90 degrees F +-3 degrees fluctuations.That concerns me. I was told too hot to touch is too hot. By definition, too hot to touch is around 120 degrees F give or take a few.So I'm going to be concerned with adding additional cooling if tany of these temps start hitting the 100-110 mark. I'm not kidding when I say I am falling in love with this beat up look. I have a beat up console too, it's just that the mainboard is damaged right now but If I can get that repaired (or replaced) I'm probably going to use that beat up console to match the peb. I don't know why I find this look so appealing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
