Thanks, that's great to know. I'd seen a few 2A's but I wasn't sure if they'd be drop-in replacements for the 1A. I'll be on the lookout for them now.

Hello everyone, hope you're all doing well.

I'm looking for a working Tandon TM 100-1A full-height drive to replace the B: drive in my early Kaypro II. I've been working on the machine on and off...

Hey guys, quick question. Does anyone know if the Dell Dimension 4100 supports 360k 5.25" drives at the BIOS level?

I'm thinking about picking this one (http://www.ebay.com/ulk/itm/231958245452)...

Hey Larry, thanks for the advice. The other day I opened up the machine to start testing voltages and I decided that I might as well try reseating all the power and data connectors on the logic...

Hey everyone, just an update on my Kaypro.

I got home from college last night, so I was finally able to test the machine myself. It booted up fine, and the keyboard cable I bought was working...

Huh I didn't realize that. For some reason I'd thought that it was parallel.



Thanks for the heads up on the motor setup though, I'll definitely keep that in mind.

Oh awesome, thanks! If that cable I ordered doesn't work out, that'll definitely come in handy.

Don't worry, I don't think I'd have the self-control to let a great new machine sit that long! :cool:

I've gotta get through my finals before I'll have the time to mess around with it though...

Will do, it may be a little while before I get a chance to test it though haha.

Got it. Just wondering, would buying a 28-gauge, ~6 foot 4P4C cable like this one be worth it? It would be closer to the original spec:

Thanks for that bit from the manual pski, that really helps.

I just Googled around and found the pinout for a standard handset cable. It seems to have a different pinout than the Kaypro cable did....

OK awesome, thanks guys. I'll be on the lookout for both of those.

By the way, I'm assuming I'd need a cable like this one to interface with the parallel port on the Dell motherboard? (I'm still...

True thanks for the reminder, I'll definitely double-check once the machine gets here. It comes with the original manual, which if I'm not mistaken has a diagram of the original J3 connector that...

Hey guys, quick question.

I have a early 2000's Dell Dimension 4500S that I'm planning on using to write Kaypro II disk images using this method from Tezza's site. It runs Windows XP currently,...

Hey Phillip, thanks for the info! I was a bit afraid I was going to have to make my own cable; it's great to know I can just grab something off the shelf.

Hey everyone, wmh here! It's been over three years since I've posted on the VC forums, and it looks like a lot's changed since then. It's great to see most of you guys are still around though. :)

Just wondering, does your output look kind of like this? 15047

On both my physical //c and AppleWin the TRACE command displays multiple numbers on each line...

Agreed. If you guys see this stuff again, please make sure to flag the post...

I'm not a PET expert, but I have some experience with the 6502-based Apple II's. I'd say it's bad RAM. There's probably a bit stuck somewhere in one of the RAM chips and it's causing garbage "!"...

Alright, thanks. :-)

No problem; I'm not trying to rush you! Just didn't know if your offer was still good or not.

It's a computer forum, full of people who don't like to get scammed...

If you do list the chip on eBay, please post a link!

(P.S. There aren't any MOS chips marked 5176 on there already.)

Just an FYI:

MS-DOS with Enhanced Tools is version 6.22.

Well, arrow_runner never responded...

Anyone else have a 5155 they'd be willing to part with?

$315! I agree, who knows what they're on... I can see someone who needs it paying $20-$30 for the RAM, and maybe $5-$10 for the Zip drive. The rest of the machine probably isn't worth that much. To...
