It is here! I'm posting some pics in my Google Drive because now the forum doesn't accept anything larger than 256kb? ...

Haha, oh no, Stabilant 22 :p I know folks that swear it actually works, but I could never bring myself to buy some at the price, with material that...

So, what is is about the 5170 that is behind this behavior? Or, can this also be reproduced on other machines?

Thanks again everyone, all the input is very much appreciated! DLT IV capable drive on ebay is over $500. That is a bit to much past my hobby...

I film a lot of stuff, but I find that I never seem to have time to actually *edit* it into something worth posting. Too many projects, not enough...

It looks like I am going to be picking up 2 beautiful IMSAI's in the next two weeks. The one you have been looking at for $1250 and this one, for...

I usually have it in full manual when it's fixed on the CRT, I've just tried to use the hybrid mode a few times when I'm desperately trying to get a...

Thanks for that--when I get a little time, I'll have a careful look.

This is a total blast from the past, but that won't stop me from responding now: You are correct that short of completely rebuilding the actual...

The only way to shoot CRTs is full manual. If you aren't comfortable enough yet to do that, at a bare minimum, shoot in shutter-priority ("S") mode...

There are a lot of instructions that will work as good as a NOP. It just needs to be a single machine cycle operation. Most all of the register to...

Power rail always have capacitors on them. These can be shorted. Since you have a voltmeter, I'm sure it can read ohms. With the power turned off,...

Looks like a visualcircuits Reeltime MPEG-2 playback card. Did some prototyping with an earlier version for museum video server applications in the...

Your are spot on. I just tried bypassing the himem.sys and the game loads perfectly. I do have an expansion RAM card in mine too. I have not tried to...

One of my biggest problems, as I get older and older, is staying organized. I wasn't that good when I was younger, but it is constantly getting...

Where were you taking the output from a single resistor to go to the amp? Also worth noting that you can't use just one resistor. You need a POT...

Thank you for the advice. I'll try starting with 1KOhm and work my way down. I actually tried this in the recent past, but worth reproducing the...

Oops! I meant 10 ohm resistor not capacitor. ;) Sorry for the confusion.

S1 and S2 is the secondary of the power transformer. The SAMS circuit diagram of the power supply, at here], shows that when your 5151 is working,...

1. Capacitors are not measured in OHMs. So I assume you used a 10 ohm potentiometer ? 2. 10 Ohms is too small for the Potentiometer and will...

Excellent, hopefully it'll work for you. I knew about the "write it back" functionality in the configuration utility because the homemade XT-CF cards...

Make sure you had the config program generate a checksum for the ROM -- the system won't pick it up if the checksum is wrong (it may or may not give...

That's the fun part, at least without spending money. I do shoot in manual mode, or at least semi-manual; my camera has several options which vary...

I used DOSBox to run the config executable and made my best guesses as to configuration. Thank you for the suggestion. I burned the XTP.BIN file...

I have wondered at times if WinImage could handle conversions. Jim drew says he is working on a modification to the SCP to allow it to act as a...

The shutter-ISO-aperture triangle is fairly easy to work with, but you have to have a camera and lens that allows you to manipulate all three...

Yup. Sold the program to a security outfit. Made a nice little pile of cash. Last version, IIRC, was 2.21. FWIW, that was 20 years ago.
