  1. and that's why I wanted a run down on his chips... no way to know who tried to fix it by swapping wrong chip
  2. david please list the chips in that 1200XL, CO numbers and all... there may be a mis match....
  3. DtDNS is permanently down so anybody relying on will no longer be seen many BBS's are 'down' but really aren't this happened in August.
  4. thank you I can now see the jumper that connects the jack in the back as power in and it's using 2600/xep/sx power supply. the two sockets on the side can be populated as desired, as I was of the opinion the break out would allow patching the two together or separate and the header attach to the ribbon would push into the empty socket in circuit, or even future daughter board, floppy board style to give others an idea of what that would look like. the switch looks like it might affect that very section of the board. I wonder if you won't find some info on the test procedure and what to attach in generating test pattern etc.
  5. Thanks Curt, a few photos would be awesome if possible. (net)
  6. afaik, you can network provided you are using the same network modules, I don't remember but there may have been two or three revisions. the scheduler call your modules.
  7. what would be amazing is to have all that repaired on packages like this of the day
  8. If he were to follow the industry standard model of letting people see what they are joining first, he would gain more members.., this has been this way from the time of BBS with guest level access where you can see but not touch! You can do phone on a stick to help make the videos just make a tripod or stand using whatever is laying around and rubber band the phone to the stick, and then use an eraser or what between the phone and stick to adjust angle....
  9. the ebay ones look like converted router power supplies, the failure point on those is a capacitor... when they fail I don't believe they kill anything, you can replace the cap usually and get back to work.... I do know if the cap opens or shorts determines what bad things will or won't happen
  10. the board is incomplete, it is missing a driver for the jack.... some work will be needed to determine the proper transistor. there appears to be enough done for some function, the patch in chips are unknown on this pcb, but shouldn't matter too much, the good news is there should be more of these pcbs out there to find this out and complete this one way or another. There was either a header from the patch in chips to the empty socket in circuit. or the all in one chip is missing.
  11. Yep, some of these boards want you to be fully registered with your life history... most of them act like they own anything you think of or discuss. It can be worse than the faceless book.... all sites that use the log in with book have been made vulnerable... the token keys were stolen.. 50 million or more just had their whole lives stolen and now it's working it's way out, looks like that number is skyrocketing by the day....
  12. how did I miss this, or worse yet if I find I was a part of the conversation, how did I forget this? Looks like I don't know what's going on some days..
  13. whatever cpm you use, the terminal must be defined to cpm to make it work.... who needs slashes!
  14. We need the Puff BBS back... even if the drive has stiction, it could be good for a one start one run copy to another. Last I heard it was rumored the drive and all were still sitting.... anyway there was at least one or two others out there. Just saying it would be a challenge, a diversion, possibly enjoyable even. ah blast from the past.
  15. wow I couldn't read that last post. It basically was to say once you provide the list or post of what you want, I am willing to make your atr's apologies... for the mess,,, not only was I having difficulty, but part of my network was over the night as well. New people in the neighborhood have their routers set on odd channels trouncing the spectrum and killing through put for the neighborhood. The also have the rts/cts guard functions turned off broadcasting at will all over the place, this is causing routers and wireless cards to get trounced and reset to the point of disconnection over retries... terrible... I have upped power and chose the best channel I could to get away from them and made sure every device is tenacious and is using all guards and rts/cts... it's all good now. Their turn to have issues now. sigh.
  16. the BBS sat in a rather cluttered area as well, perhaps a bit more dusty of an area and relegated to the dungeon.
  17. there is the cartridge image ready for you to hack up... all the other .xex are spread through the thread, please pick all the ones you want and I will put them on and ATR or indicate what you want done. Most everyone can make atr's. If you are unable, once you proved the post and a little note. I'll do it.
  18. what do you mean, disk version? this is a 5200 conversion or cartridge conversion... there might be disk in preservation as well.. what is it you are looking for? I don't understand... you can copy the xex to a disk or ? Do you need an ATR with this on it? made for your or Your hack on it. if this is the case... we can make an ATR without any issues and copy the xex to it. I don't know what you need... Let us know what emulator you are using and what you know works with it in terms of DOS or ATR, is your emu up to date? If the emu is flawed perhaps Altira is and option to use? do you want a boot loader of some kind. here is the cartridge Moon Patrol (1983)(Atari)(US).car.txt just rename to moonpatrol.car
  19. or just get fixed sound and color from fandal site moon_patrol.zip I know it had something to do with audio control and being moved from cartridge... anyway this is fixed by fandal so maybe no problems with whatever your using?
  20. um no it would have to be modified for the indus I think.. But I could give it a try...
  21. Maybe my copy corrupted, or it's been patched for 816 use... someone should just patch the one you already worked on. I will try to remembers it's only a couple bytes...
  22. doesn't amodem and a few other terminal programs read and/or write to the rtc direclty? I know at the very least reads it. express 850 not cart might be like that...
  23. lol that's for sure. I decided to slow myself down and it caused the calibration issue some have wrestled with, normally I just tap tap, tap tap and it's done. If I carefully deliberately press and release it's liable to to get a double read and then oh no, I have to do the point to elsewhere on the screen to get a button problem. either way it all works out in the end.. um the idea behind the open platforms is to share code and ideas, he can look at it, accept, reject, delete, ignore whatever you send.. but if it is a worry let someone already doing it submit for you or email it to him ,
