Do you mind sharing what u finished up? I actually like the non-wifi options.

Here's the repo from the vids: https://github.com/peterstark-code/ Might have to order a board & play around.

Somehow I missed this topic. What's the status of the pofoduino & fujinet? I'll read up some later, but any current info would be helpful.

Hi all! Just a friendly FYI in case you're still debating on grabbing one: https://www.officedepot.com/a/products/9072317/Dell-SE2722H-27-FHD-LED-Monitor/?cm_sp=technology-_-dod-14999doll-dell-27inch-monitor-9072317_tue-ft1-wk17_-_-marketing_deal-of-the-day_main_2_1_0&promo_name=technology&promo_id=technology-dod-14999doll-dell-27inch-monitor-9072317-tue-ft1-wk17&promo_creative=dod-14999doll-dell-27inch-monitor-9072317_tue-ft1-wk17&promo_position=marketing_deal-of-the-day_main_2_1_0 This is a better deal than Microcenter, but look like sale price is for today only. Just grabbed another one on impulse ?

Hey guys, So I'm trying to revive this 1040stf, but so far having no luck. It's showing three bombs on boot up & rom test showing failure cs failure on H1 chip. I replaced all TOS 1.0 roms with a known working set also 1.0, but getting same results. Are there any clear schematics of a rev D board anywhere or anyone have possible ideas for next steps? Thanks!

I decided to wait for the weekend to make the trip since I wanted to browse around & do some necessary impulsive shopping. Looked around for a bit til I got dizzy with all the temptations & my wallet still took a hit. I'll do shipping next time if the sales guy comes through. Lesson learned though.

Yeah, that's what the sales guy said. It's happened before & I don't remember the reason he stated as to why there was no limit so he grabbed all of em. He did offer me the 24in, but sounds like that one is best to avoid. Online reservations are only good for 3 days for local pick up since they don't offer shipping. Just wasn't my day I guess.

So I was thinking of grabbing one to compare with the Samsung Syncmaster TV that I've been using lately. No snow today so I decided to take the 1hr+ drive to Microcenter today to pick one up. Apparently it wasn't my day. I checked the website last Wed/Thursday & it showed 25+ in stock. They were sold out. Apparently some guy came in and grabbed all the available units. Supposedly for his business. Mighty strange coincidence don't you think? MicroSquad guy helping me took my info & is supposedly gonna let me know if and when they'll be receiving more. At least I had a coupon for a free SSD & grabbed a few other things for some Xbox projects.

I'd like to order one as well please. Thx!

Hi, Just wanna also say that I also enjoy these old school hacks. The modern stuff is easier, but it's always fun to bust out the soldering iron. I might have to attempt this on either the 400 or 800 that I got recently, but are being neglected. Can you post the alternate schematic if possible? Which reminds me that I got an 800xl a bit ago and I think it included a memory upgrade schematic with a name similar to yours printed on it. Maybe it was you? Dated early or mid 80s... just curious.

Hi Nezgar, Seems I have the oldest of the bunch, it looks just like the first pic. The FSM advises to swap parts out at this point, but I was hoping to verify voltage ranges with known good values before thinking of buying replacements. Thanks for the input!

Hi, I used an 810 diagnostics image via aspeqt that gives option to burn-in or adjust. It attempts to track to 16, but same behavior results. I attempted to check track00 directly from the controller, but it seems this one is not wired the same as the 1050. Is there another diagnostics disk option available? Thanks!

Hi everyone, I'm trying to revive an 810 drive that keeps powering up to "boot error" screen. I can see the head move down and attempt to read, moves a little bit with a grinding type noise and pulls back to center. I'm using a couple disks single formatted and verified working on 1050 drive. Here are a few things that I've tried so far: 1. Cleaned head a couple times. 2. Cleaned track/slider & greased if it was neccessary. 3. Cleaned all connectors & components with contact cleaner. 4. Adjusted track head from back stop set screw to .01" per FSM. 5. Verified motor RPM within spec per manual. I only have a cheap 1 ch scope so not sure of accuracy. I don't have another 810 drive to swap parts with so wondering if anyone can shed some light on other possible culprits. The FSM doesn't show voltage levels for the RPM test so that would be useful to know. Any ideas? Thanks!
