    If you have done yours into an 800- can you show a pic or describe as best you can how you do the video wire run to the internal connections? I am using a cut wire supplied with the device.. maybe I need to use something smaller and more flexible. But I know it was stated that the shielding is very important. James

    Any better description for that? If you were using the internal video port.. why were you using the audio cable at all? In the instructions it says to just ground out the 3 pins if you are using the internal cable? For video cable.. did you use the original supplied shielded cable? or did you run loose wires? James

    Love to see this

    Well built mine from a kit from Brewing Academy this week, installed, works great with my Sandisk, but not Verbatim. The Verbatim works great in my Side2.. I even went with the F series chips in the XEL-Cf .. oh well. as I said, working great.

    I figured out what was wrong.. the firmware changed since I built the machine.. aka when the 1088xel was first out (when I bought and bilt it) it had the FJC firmware with the SIDE PBI bios... now the firmware is specific to the XELCF adapter.. which I have but have not installed yet. SO.. I am building it.. rather than flashing bits and bobs of firmware to get it back working with the SIDE2. James

    Hello all, I have been out of the 8-bit stuff for a couple of years, and now playing again. This might be a stupid question but I am missing something. Using a 1088xel - I built, with my Side2 - I have updated both the 108xel and the SIde2 firmware to the latest versions. On my 1088xel if I setup a profile and turn on the PBI device and hard drive the Side2 is not seen - is that normal? because on my 800xl with U1mb - thats how I setup the side2. If I have a profile just clean- everything disabled including spartados, then the SIDE2 is seen and loaded using a SIDE Driver v 4.03 .. this is new to me.. but looks good. But on my other machine I could go into the loader and change partitions etc.. This way I cannot. Am I missing something? a Video? Tutorial? RTFM? Thanks James

    thesybariteorg.sytes.net:420 Up and running. ForeSight Software. Give it a go!!! James

    Yes the 2nd one gives you 3 ways to unarc the files, and is very comprehensive.. I just know from everywhere I have looked that there is a manual and tutorial, and they are not in that archive. James
  9. Bikerbob
    Ahhh, yes it does, have to "save link as" but it still is the archive in the ftp.pigwa.net CTH collection.. aka.. no manuals or docs. bummer James
  10. Bikerbob
    That one only has the program. there was a link (long gone) that had all the docs as well. Would be a shame to loose all the docs. James

    Anyone have a current ZIP etc.. for ATOS.. I cannot find a downloadable version anywhere on the net.
  12. Bikerbob
    The reason was right in the question.. $25 extra .. I use Sandisk CF.. IS there a list somewhere how this disk swap button works?
  13. Bikerbob
    SO CFII is $30 for a DIY and CFIII with F type chips is $55.. IS there a real reason to pay the extra 25? whats the difference.. is the CFII poor in performance compared?
  14. Bikerbob
    That is cool. $100 after shipping.. I will try Fuji after a floppy of 2 first.. see if I get it to work. OMG I have had all this on the shelf now for so long, I have to figure out how to use some of it all again. I also am 2 revisions of firmware behind at the moment.
  15. Bikerbob
    Ok cool, not really thinking I am going to be going Rapidus, but its a good board anyway. Anyone have a spare board already printed?? OR a CF3 std? I can build no problem. I will check with Brewing company maybe he has a kit for these done and I can build from there. James
  16. Bikerbob
    Holy smokes, took me this long since my last post to actually fire up the 1088xel. Its working fine, and the Fujinet is also working and Dr. V you were of course right.. blocks the audio out. I guess I will get a floppy drive working. I need to do the CF card thing.. I did not get one when I started this.. guess I figured I had the SIDE2 cart.. but I think the CF card would be good. James

    Still trying to find stuff for this.. if anyone is following. The 2.5.1c is great, as the last version I can find, would love to know what is different from 2.2 or 2.3, but nothing with it. WHAT about a manual?? anyone? for FoReM or Turbo?
  18. Bikerbob
    gave it a go tonight.. nice... not bad for an early bbs. Bikerbob

    a piece of plastic the same size would work fine.. do the hole a titch on the small size and the screw will thread itself. Bikerbob

    Anyone been able to get this one working on your ST? The latest version seems to have an english version.. but every time I click on the .TOS in MED resolution it flashes and drops back to TOS. Hmmmm Bikerbob

    Mine is back AGAIN on the UDS-10.. but working on the WIMODEM again. FoReMST requires the autoanswer - it will not do a ATA with a Ring. I wish I could verify that the modemdat.txt was acutally being used because I dont feel that it is. Bikerbob

    So did this 8-bit BBS project die? Bikerbob
  23. Bikerbob
    Rick are you good with GFA basic? IF you are interested in working on Foresight BBS I would love to work on it with you. I was never able to get it to answer the "modem" in its compiled form. But it is a very good BBS.. you can edit many items once compiled. and there are doors etc..etc.. I run bikerbobsclubhouse.ddns.net:1040 on FoReMST .. I am having issues with that at the moment.. again with the "modem" device.. wether that be a UDS serial device or a Win232 modem. But I love to tinker as well.. I have been playing for a while. I am in if you want to work on some stuff. All work on regular STs .. usually you need at least 1mb.. I assume you will get up to 4mb on that 520?? Bikerbob
  24. Bikerbob
    going to reply here.. Think this is easiest. Not sure how to do it on the bbs. not sure what I managed to do, but I cannot get the bbs to work with this now.. it will load, initialize, and when it gets to the point where it looks to wait for a connection.. it goes right into "HIT RETURN" without anything from the other end.. Bikerbob

    I just purchased as well... love em!! Looking forward to trying. Would you be interested in posting a thread on the tools or tutorials you used to write it? I am interested in doing one myself. James
