  1. Better. He improved the RS232 part by implementing a MAX232 as serial port. Still have to look into that as I want to add something to my Black Box that won't blow up the 1488/1489's over and over again...
  2. Apart from being spares for my BlackBox' I ordered a bunch of those in 2012 with the intention to make a MUX-system but life got in the way.
  3. Dealt (or did try to) with them many years ago. Parts ordered, paid, but never received a thing and no response to any email I sent. I'm from Europe but if you can't find one closer at home, well...
  4. AFAIK Scopy needs command line parameters, so only Sparta-Dos/BeWe-Dos or compatible.
  5. Each message has an array of node#'s where the msg has been. If it's a local posted one only your own node# will be there. When preparing a network file for, let's say, node "ABC" it will only include msg's that won't have "ABC" in that array. Messing around with the array may lead to duplicate messages (yes, I tried!). As a side note: Tom Hunt made an alternative message-exchange system named "QWK-net". It was mainly to network between Pro- and non-Pro message boards but Pro-2-Pro is possible too of course.
  6. The Pro! 5.0b manual doesn't show very much about the different waitcall cmd's... A special note to Avatex 1200 owners The Avatex 12 0 0 (non-HC) is a non-standard, yet very popular modem. Unfortunately, it does not understand most "Hayes Compatible" commands. There is a special "WaitCall" module on your PRO disk that was written specifically for the Avatex 1200 modem. This file is named WTCALLAV.CMD. If you plan on running PRO on this modem, you should copy this command module to your PRO>COMMAND>A> subdirectory under the name WAITCAL0.CMD. This special module takes the place of the standard waitcall module. With VS.Ob, the WAITCALL.CMD, you use must now be renamed to WAITCALO.CMD. If you are using a MUX, system then it must also be copiedtoWAITCALl.CMD, WAITCAL2.CMD, etc. Edit: The individual CMD-headers of the modules have more to offer: Waitcall.cmd Copyright 1995 K-Products Wtcall96.cmd 9600 baud Hayes Modem Copyright 1995 K-Products Wtcallav.cmd for the 1200 baud Avatex modem Copyright 1995 K-Products Wtcalldu.cmd Waitcall for the USR dual Standard Modems Copyright 1995 K-Products Wtcallhc.cmdCopyright 1995 K-Products Wtcallhs.cmd for courier hst Written by Keith Ledbetter & Stephen J. Carden Wtcallnu.cmd Null Modeming Written by Stephen J. Carden Wtcallpg.cmd Programable waitcall written by Stephen J. Carden Wtcallpp.cmd Practical Peripherals Modem Written by Stephen J.

  8. That was 11 years ago. I can't even remember what I had for breakfast this morning 🙂
  9. True, but the wiki tells you that is was part of "Quick Assember", which brings you to (too just name one) https://archive.org/details/a8b_Quick_Assembler_v1.0_19xx_JBW_pl_a if you use a search engine.
  10. Panther. Also very usefull to create ASCII/ATASCII BBS screens. https://texteditors.org/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?Panther
  11. Depending on what signals the WiFi needs to work, port #2 and #3 may be an issue. I don't think port #4 can be used at all for things like a modem.
  12. One thing you can do is to take out every (socketed) IC and try again to check if at least a LED lights up. If it's really an overvoltage issue... try to swap components with a working BB set-up. You may need to send it to someone but I'm sure there are people over here who want to put some effort in it. I can do it but as in Europe it would be better to find someone near you. Schematics... I have them... somewhere...
  13. It would help if you gave some more info. What does it do right now when used with a working PS and connected to A8? Will the A8 start up? If so, can you enter the BB monitor?
  14. It's exactly that. Connecting wires directly to the tape head with a switch to enable/disable the external output. Another switch disabled the motor so I could use the motor on/off signal for other purposes but never made use of that. With all switches set to off it was just a standard 1010 recorder. Still have it laying around, somewhere... As we both had stereo encoders for our FM transmitters we could also benefit from the dual audio channels. Left channel for data, right channel for mono audio. Not a perfect clean signal as channel separation on FM is not that good but as long the volumes were kept low it worked pretty well.
