You may have wanted to start a new thread, rather than add-on to this rather old one. Are you sure that the power supply is the problem? Have you...

USPS just raised their rates this weekend fsck DeJoy

The Advance86 (Genie16 in Germany) briefly had BASIC in ROM. Alas, it seems the ROM BASIC used was a patched copy of IBM's and IBM was not happy...

I thought IBM ROM BASIC was based on Microsoft BASIC anyway, which Microsoft ended up giving to everyone in the form of GW-BASIC. But if I am...

Yes. The challenge with Civilization 2 is that it has a weird 3D perspective to it. It hurts my eyes after a while.

AJ, Thanks for the info and the informative site. Hopefully, we can find a source that will sell just the right size bands (instead of an...

Any signs of damaged/leaking capacitors? Leaking electrolytic fluid absolutely wreaks havoc on PC motherboards. Unfortunately many motherboards from...

Much of what you've written is over my head, and I'm not sure this helps, but this collection of bug sheets says that the minimum clock speed for the...

DAV Test - lines 10-80 plus 400 and 500 NRFD Test - lines 90 -160 plus 600 and 700 NDAC Test - lines 170 - 240 plus 800 and 900 ATN Test - lines...

Your data path seems OK so you may only need the IEEE control lines test. I'll post the listings for that test. You would need to type a few lines at...

Shipping has gotten beyond ridiculous here is an example: ...

I was about at that time, and I don't remember any third party BASICs. I think most manufacturers were so glad to get a BIOS and not get sued by IBM...

Is the php script available? Does it go into the same directory as the PET program files? This feature sounds very useful. LOAD "program_name", 10...

I found an interesting anomaly on Ebay with the GSP. I was wanting to buy a five IC's from a fellow in the USA. He had specified in his auction...

KIE is what it is called for device 03 the console keyboard. I called it RKIE because that is what Mr Lasner used. I assume the R is for Receive. ...

Well, I think of KIE as being the interrupt control instruction for the first TTY, which is to say the console. RKIE is the analogous instruction...

I have attached a block diagram which might help make sense of my post on the topic. In the early days of TV's and video monitors, the phase...

I've been meaning to try one of the newer Civs because I have a friend that actually likes Civ. But I've been a little nervous about hearing of bugs....

Hi Mike, The brightness is increasing over time. It is probably in the monitor itself rather than the main logic board. Possibly a component...

You could use something like DownSub to download subtitle files from many video sites. YouTube will auto-generate subtitles on request, but the more...

Right. Installing Windows 98 now. Civilization 4 started crashing my 2860QM (Steam version). The CD-ROM version (no DRM) does not run. Very...

There is the ArdSCSIno project as well. I tested it and it worked well so I decided to fork it and make my own PCB. I added a a power connector and...

yes i know, it is because i got 20-30 of the media DDCDR 1.3gb but dont have the drive. So was thinking it will be nice to try and play with it......

Ah. Right, the interrupt is enabled by default, and has to be explicitly turned off. Damn, I thought it defaulted to off. Memory must be going bad....

Because it was basically a DOA product. Sony made the technology, sold the only drives and the only media.

yes that is to much for me. Regards Thomas

Then something is up with the formula used by United Nippon Chemi-con and Nichicon. Those two brands specifically I am seeing a lot of electrolyte...

Hi Dave_M, I tested again with 170 and 85. Both work fine. I do not have tape capability, however, if the programs are small, I don't mind...
