I have repaired two mylar keyboards based on BOB instructions. The trick is to be very slow and don't damage any more than what is already damaged. I have found that the silver based ink is a biotch to work with! there is a product that is carbon based and is easy to apply as well as easy to trim. It dries more solid and can be trimmed with an exacto so much better. In addition if you can work with solder, i was able to place solder nubs upon the upper and lower pads in order to get a good connection. this was done upon the solder pads that the mylar presses against when you reassemble the unit. I will have to find the photos for the task but if you cant solder than it wont matter. I suggest using the carbon based fluid. the product is called Bare Conductive Electric Paint Bareconductive.com Cheers it worked great for my repair Be carefull!!!!! the mylar may tear

an oscilloscope on an eight bit?!? YOU ROCK!

these light gun units will not work unless your TV is an old school CRT. the new tvs (lcd) dont work the same way..

i would do more research on the 1010 sticker in the window it seems that an orange vs the silver sticker determines quality. I am not sure which one is better but i have a silver stickered unit i will never use.

I buy mine from digikey. Mill-max is the superior manufacturer! 40 pin gold plated machine pin with decoupling cap is the ultimate be prepared to pay for gold plated sockets 9.50$ each

if this item is available i will pay handsomly

I am a huge fan of the 1020 printer and the FSM states that there is a diagnostic disc to assist mt rework troubleshooting efforts. Does anyone have a copy?

83S DA 48414 123 83S DA 48017 123 72R DA 06483 183 One missing its label. I am building one from scratch... do i make my own label?

I use this feature often as i am currently kicking ass repairing keyboards. but why do i get no response during OS keyboard tests yet works great in basic? control key, break key, shift key.. i dunno? Douglas

well my first repair went great! 100% first time out! second keyboard required a little more work but it revealed a new product "BARE CONDUCTIVE ELECTRIC PAINT" A few damaged traces due to hasty removal of mylar.. its carbon based and is easier to use, not runny and dries quickly so my second keyboard ROCKS as well! two fully repaired keyboards thanks to BOB1200XL Third one will be the charm!

he sent me my side2 in five days. excellent shipping! i think he only ships twice a week Douglas

ok well my "laptop" project will most likely be based on the 1200xl MB. I am building a mb by scratch and i plan on removing the cart and power supply areas to attain enough room for a catholic church and mexican bordello.. yes the will fit! I have to kill two 1200xl cases in order to build my 13.3" monitor assy and i apoligize in advance to those who lost an ebay auction.. i will go thru my photos to explain in time i was totally stoked to get a perfectly working 600xl with a PCB keyboard.. this thing will never break! i want the low prowfile keyboard.. this will obviously be a hybrid Douglas

i had the same problem the upgrade showed three bars of 16K = 48K then the unit had a bad video tearing issues but i was able to make out only 40 k i thought the unit was dead but there may be something here i have new mem arriving today

Douglas

so i got my SIDE2 from lotharek in the mail but i am unaware as to the appropriate size or type of CF or CF drive to use. I hear tell some persons are using dual cf adapters, microdrives, etc..etc.. Can someone inform me as to what to do? what to buy, limits and expectations? thank douglas

I am interested in mounting a xegs low profile keyboard into a 1200xl. I am wondering if this is possible? I am constructing a case mod on the 1200xl in order to construct a 1200xl laptop. I F1,F2,F3,F4 keys in the mod.. I am just wondering about the keyboard handling chips Douglas

Flashjazzcat, Additionally I am intending on installing the vbxe into the same 1200xl, did you install the 1200xl clearpic mod prior to the installation of the vbxe? Douglas

hey FJC, I am totally interested in what you did to this 1200 XL as far as power supply issues.. youve pulled major components and your providing power somehow and I think this is worthy of a new thread. I am planning on doing the same and need your guidance.. Thank You for your continued AWESOME support!

i thought the xegs came with 64K??

just in case Jameco electronics jameco part number 41574 https://www.jameco.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?catalogId=10001&langId=-1&productId=41574&storeId=10001&krypto=vFgRhKXJZKuM8sLfuPRmxv3tw%2BNp1UpMXfk04%2FoIeMj%2FI0Mv6tTttQ%3D%3D&ddkey=https:StoreCatalogDrillDownView

not so long time... turns out i had one unit that developed really bad video, so i moved the upgrade over to another unit.. worked good for about three boots black screen i am running out of 600xl machines! this mod cant be that devestating as everyone seems to be able to do it. i cant tell if its the delay line or the memory chips?! i have two good 16k units and i am not wanting to kill another unit to determine why one of the upgraded units failed. whats causing theses black screens after mods?

Jeezzz one 64k upgrade and my video tears and shifts badly I move the upgrade to another 600xl and all is good... then after three reboots, another black screen condition.

I am sorry change them or dont change them?

I am looking at installing a vbxe unit into a 600xl. should i do the video mod on the 600xl prior to installation of vbxe? Douglas

i am interested in creating a game that would be similar to a door game. the idea is a character that has a split personality must find a solution or xxx... two players would each take turns sending him down their desired paths. in other words, your actions make the character go one way.. his actions make the character go the other way i was thinking that this could be accomplished via null modem btween two players in the same room any thought would be well appreciated Douglas
