Has anyone gotten the Mario Special for this NEC running on hardware? It seems to be a "dual loader" where it first loads a typical...

"we need Gerber file for PCB, BOM file and pic&place file for assembly." Thanks, I see now for Kicad. I assume BOM is "bill of...

Assuming this is the latest version, they have provided a zip of the Gerber files here...

It's the same WiModem232 I used here on the CoCo3 at 19200 baud (with 6551 chip). The onboard PIA 6821 of that system was hard to bit...

I recall trying that - and it would toggle the display of things like "CR", but the "BS" symbol seemed to appear in either case. As...

Well, REM (remote) isn't critical - you just have to be more mindful of pressing STOP yourself after done loading. I just got one of...

I've also picked up a 8001 mk II just to compare it. Here are some follow up notes on the PC-8001 mk II : - When in terminal...

Ok, confirmed it all works! And here's the video... Happy BBS'ing now on your NEC PC-8001 !!! (but no ANSI and no backspace support...

Forgot I had a 32-channel logic analyzer. Got it figured out and have a WiModem232 working with the PC-8001 with its built in TERM...

Here's the initial results. As expected, the specified PC-8062 isn't 1:1 to that pinout of that internal socket. The voltage test in...
