I'm interested.... sent PM

The MCE2VGA works well for its intended purpose, which is to connect to 4:3 VGA monitors and LCDs. It performs some rescaling, which may or may not...

I uploaded additional photo. I run diagnostic program (under XT) and looks like that card needs high memory area which is not present in xt?

They're hard enough to get these days. Used is fine.

3.5" DSDD to be accurate. Let me look around and see what I've got, if you don't mind used disks.

Can you do....36 disks? I'll save you having to format them all and just hope there's enough extras to fulfill what I need if that works for you.

If anyone is interested, I modified the extended ROM basic 4.1 to: Replace the underscore functionality with backspace. When you type backspace,...

Remember that the Ultra 5 has a quite poor IDE controller onboard. There are a number of devices that don’t play well with the CMD 646 chipset that...

On my 8296-D, out of the 2 PLA's, one was bad, and it was replaced by an EPROM on an adapter. Truly, Robert Bernardo Fresno Commodore User Group...

Yep, I mentioned the compromised nature of the LC II in the video. It’s not a fantastic machine, but I do indeed like the form factor. It’s also...

No everything south of lemon grove is mexico....

"Clock error" would usually implicate the COPS chip on the I/O board. That's a tough chip to replace (although not impossible), so my recommendations...

The original Macintosh LC with a 68020 didn't have a 68841/51, so it couldn't support virtual memory. The LC II with a 68030 did support virtual...

RI should be unset

Win9x does enough disk writes even without heavy virtual memory load to make it noticeable vs. a decent mechanical. I have some CF cards that are so...

I'm not sure whether CR will be enough - depends on the printer's buffering algorithm. LF should definitely work.

Slightly related funny story: back in the day ("day" being 2004/2005 timeframe) I noticed the "platform" guy at work was using some PATA disk drives...

did the 68020 based LCs employ any sort of memory management chip like the original Mac II?

I was never really a fan of the LC or the LC II because they were such compromised designs. Apple retired the 68020 with the original Mac II only to...

that's the old push button variety. I bought one in the early 90s and fell in love (not sure if I had ever used that type prior, even as a tech)....

Cleaned the corrosion off of the MF-100 card and I've yet to test it to see what happens.

Are you talking about 3.5" or 5.25" ? I have a shortage of DD 3.5" myself

Yes. I swear by my 87 that I got used on ebay many years ago

The sensor seemed to be clean and I did the alignment and got good output and high pitched beeps out of ImageDisk(in fact the same results from when...

That sounds reasonable. I'll add a CR at the end of the string of characters and see what happens. Thanks, Mike

Morro bay is a few hours south, closer to SLO and Pismo. Unless I'm way off. Everything north of LA is norcal to me!

He's in Morrow Bay, not SF Bay so add 3 hours to your calculations.

My guess would be that the printer has the line of data in a buffer, and you need to send a character to cause it to actually print that buffer. CR,...
