+Stephen Posted April 15, 2017 Share Posted April 15, 2017 Had a chance to check out your site tonight - very cool! I hope to spend some time in the coming weeks poking around some more. Tons of fun (and yes long-time ICE-T users, I know I ought to connect to an S-video/Y-C monitor but I don't happen to have one handy quite yet - working on it. ). STBBS.jpg CRT baby! Whoooooo!

Actually it's not against all odds... The "local guys" have tons of backstock they are desperate to off load. I had a computer business in the mid 90's to mid 00's and you wouldn't believe the pile of junk we had. Got rid of a lot of it when the business closed and my business partner and I (who had moved in together to save money back when we still had the stupid idea we could save the business) went our separate ways.... but there is a local store around here I still go to and buy stuff out of their junk pile (things I didn't have in my junk pile)... Lots of old school SCSI stuff, connectors, convertors, drives, etc. etc. etc. If you're looking for a BBS to call.... bbs.sfhqbbs.org port 5983.... The last Atari ST BBS on Fidonet. (... and it runs on an actual Atari Mega 4 STE). Just post here if you have any issues. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sugarland Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 Grats David. I just got my null modem adapter too! Wish I could use a regular modem too but no POTS line and I hear the SIPs VOIP modems max at 300b. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lots of old school SCSI stuff, connectors, convertors, drives, etc. etc. etc. The most fun part was that neither the owner nor his son knew they had it - I found it buried behind a few USB cables, 9 to 25 adaptors and other things, in a dusty plastic bag. Mine's not nearly as compact as Sugarland's, though. Tomorrow I have to set up a router as a repeater down with my Ataris, since everything else is on WiFi now...

_The Doctor__ Posted May 5, 2017 Share Posted May 5, 2017 @TILLEK as I muck about I see you enabled telnet padding... may I inquire as to what value you chose and why? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tillek Posted May 6, 2017 Share Posted May 6, 2017 Nope. Because I have no idea what you're talking about, so if I did I certainly didn't do it intentionally. ButI'd be happy to go over my settings with you so we can figure it out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TechCowboy Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 Hello fellow Atarians. Does anyone know what voltage is used by the 850 interface on it’s serial lines? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillC Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 According to the 850 Field Service Manual, available at Atarimania, the output from the 850 uses +10VDC and -8VDC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TechCowboy Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 Thank you. I just looked at that manual just now and thought: "Not so standard voltages" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+DrVenkman Posted July 23, 2017 Share Posted July 23, 2017 Hey guys - bumping up an older thread here because I'm having a Lantronix issue. I accidentally fried my MSS100 last weekend. It had been unplugged as I moved stuff around and when I went to power it back up, I accidentally plugged in the dangerously-similar plug of the Atari 9VAC plug for my 1200XL which was right there. D'oh! Sparks and hilarity ensued. Fortunately it didn't damage anything else. So I got a replacement MSS100 a couple days ago. This one is a year or so newer than the old one, if that makes any difference. I did a factory reset when I powered it up, plugged it into the LAN and then connected to it via ICE-T. I set set privilege status, set modem emulation successfully (CHANGE MODEM EMULATION ENABLED) and set the modem emulation startup character to "A" as the manual indicates (CHANGE AUTOSTART CHARACTER "A") and didn't get errors with either of those. So far so good. But when I try to enter an AT command, even the AT? help command, it doesn't work. It stays at the Local command prompt. Any ideas what I'm missing? EDITED TO ADD I AM A MORON! I power-cycled the Lantronix, rebooted the Atari and then as soon as I connected via ICE-T, it’s working as expected. Jeez. I’m leaving up evidence of my idiocy as a lesson to others in case someone ever runs into a similar issue. Power cycling cures a lot of ills.

Tillek Posted July 23, 2017 Share Posted July 23, 2017 Actually, it's good you resurrected this. Since there is a resurgence going on...... I'd frankly rather not go through this again. (especially since everyone wants to call the A8 boards and never gives us ST SysOps any love) (j/k... sorta) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moonlight_mile Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 Is there a difference between the mss100 models? I have seen -1,-13,-14,-21,and -22. I might get one and want the correct one for the easiest setup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tillek Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 I'm not really familiar with any sub-models. The main difference (like I told you on your BBS just now)... If you want to dial out with a domain name, go with a MSS 100... but for the BBS (that takes incoming calls only) go with a UDS-10 or 1100. If you're going to use an SIO2PC for storage, you probably can use it for your telnet connection as well. Use the MSS for calling out on your other machine. Of course, this all comes down to price. If you can get an MSS100 for the same price as a UDS-10, go for it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+DrVenkman Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 I bought an MSS100 for $24 last week, sans power supply. They’re not terribly pricy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moonlight_mile Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 Is there a way to change the port number on an mss100 from 3001/2001? I have scoured the net and can't seem to find the way to change 3001 to say 7777 or 9876, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
