The Compact Computer 40 (CC40)

[The Compact Computer 40 (CC40)]

I was so excited to see the HexTi-r sd drive at arcade shopper so I bought it. Can't wait to play with it on my fat cc-40. I'm sure I'll have lots of questions. The rom cart is also very tempting...

I am happy to create any amount of peripherals, provided there is demand and folks can decide just what they want.

 

RS232 is trivial, and I can whip that one up immediately using the same HW

 

Printer would be best implemented as a simple printer interface (like is on the rs232 interface)

 

Video Display suggests some questions:

 

• Output to composite? VGA? HDMI? internal LCD?
• Use actual period correct video IC, or something newer?

Not sure I would be interested in creating a real disk drive version, or a wafertape version. Plotter? What else?

Jim,

I have been a fan of your work for quite some time and have several of your go4retro creations. I would be more than happy to beta test anything that would be helpful to you. I have an expanded cc40 , hexbus rs232, and modem and would be very interested in an sd storage solution as well as a 40/80 column video solution.

This is the pin out of the lantronix unit:

That would be great! I have the parts just need a little clarity.

Hi,

Does anyone have clear wiring diagram to make an adapter from TI 25 pin serial to a standard db9 male connector? I have a lantronix device that I want to use term 80 with.

Thanks in advance.

[Some real work in GEOS from back in the day..]

Came across these graphics that I created many years ago with GeoPaint for my work in lighting. I still like my 128d better than my more modern computers.

[CMD HDUtilities to create UIEC partitions?]

Yes, indeed. Since I sold my CMD HD, I had forgotten about the swap and reset switches to get the software to see the device. Nevermind that the UIEC couldn't run the os anyway. I do have my copy of Wheels up and running on a .dnp partition and it pretty well flies. I have all my programs and files in it and 16mb is plenty big. Now, if I can get a larger than 1581 partition to run CPM on the UIEc...

Has anybody tried CMD's HD Utilities to format and create partitions on a UIEC? I'm thinking about giving it a shot...
