    3Com 3C509B-TPO in an IBM XT 5160 with V20

    Recently installed a new old stock 3C509B-TPO (10Base-T only) in my 5160. It works well and I have a few notes to share. This is a 16-bit jumperless card and ships with PnP enabled, port 300 and irq 10. Port 300 can conflict with other common devices - for example, MIDI and SCSI interfaces, and...

    Tandy sound and video patch for Alley Cat

    I put together a patch that enables 3-voice sound and custom colours on Tandy, just like the PCjr version. The custom colours should work on EGA & VGA too. https://github.com/bjt42/tandycat Here's a video of it in action on my TL/2: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yIGycFyjGPQ

    Utility to disable Tandy joystick interface

    Based on a useful tip in one of GH's blog articles I put together a little program to toggle the Tandy joystick interface off/on. This was necessary for me to be able to use the joystick port on a SB16. It's tested on a TL/2 but may work elsewhere. http://github.com/bjt42/tljoyfix

    TL/2 EGA + Tandy Video Passthrough Project

    My TL/2 has an EGA card which works well, but I wanted to also be able to use the built-in Tandy video on the same monitor, without physically moving the plug. Many EGA cards have an IBM-standard feature connector which allows RGB video passthrough from an external source. Here's a simple...

    TL/2 Line In Passthrough?

    Is it possible to pass through the line in/mic input to the internal speaker/headphone jack on a TL/2? I've looked at the TL Tech Reference which references "Audio In" but it's not clear to me whether it actually gets mixed inside the PSSJ.

    Tandy TL/2 with XT-IDE - Memory Map Questions

    Hi all I've installed an XT-IDE CF card in my TL/2. It works great at the alternate address of D800h, but not at C800h. I presume it's conflicting with the TL/2's built-in 8-bit IDE interface, even though I've disabled the IDE chip using SETUPTL2 /A. My issue is that I planned to use Dxxx as...

    Disabling internal FDC on Tandy 1000 TL/2

    I've run up against a problem using a HxC Gotek with my TL/2's internal FDC. Reading works fine, but not writing - it's like the Gotek just doesn't receive the write signals. Have confirmed it working with a real floppy drive, so it's definitely the Gotek at fault. Tried a second Gotek too...

    Tandy 1000 series HDD activity LED

    HD floppy support & skipping floppy POST on IBM XT

    Let me tell a story in case it helps someone else in future :cool: Recently I replaced the original IBM floppy controller with a generic 16-bit multi I/O card in my IBM XT, the objective being to gain high-density floppy support. I have a XT-IDE card in this machine which provides the ability...

    Calling CRT repair experts, what could this be (pics)

    I noticed that right-hand side of my IBM 5153 is slightly darker/discoloured compared to the left. Also, dark horizontal lines have a "ghost" to their right. Quite difficult to photo but I gave it a shot. I think this gets worse as the monitor warms up. Any ideas appreciated. I am up to...

    VGA/EGA video card, IBM Microdrive

    Looking for a couple of bits for my XT. Video card with both VGA and EGA/CGA connectors and switches on the back to select monitor type. Can be 8 or 16 bit ISA (a lot of these work in 8-bit slots regardless). Alternatively an EGA-only card will do but it needs to be switchable for a CGA monitor...

    HxC Floppy Emulator Manager running on 8086 laptop

    I've ported an Amiga app which allows a PC equipped with a HxC Floppy Emulator to change between disk images on the fly. This makes it much easier to manage large numbers of disk images, and also makes the cheaper "slim" version of the emulator more usable. You can download it here...

    JVC JD-3824ROT1 20MB Hard Drive 26 Pin - FREE! Just Pay Postage

    I bought this from someone on Amibay a while back, unfortunately it turned out to be a slightly different model to the one I needed. This is an old hard drive from a Toshiba T1200 and (I think) is also used in other laptops and some music equipment. I haven't been able to test it but I have no...

    EMS driver for Chips & Technologies 82C100

    I have an 80C86-based laptop with 1MB ram and the C & T 82C100 "Super XT" chipset. Does anyone know where I could find a compatible EMM driver? The closest match at http://ibm-pc.org/drivers/memory/memory.htm seems to be the NEAT chipset driver (EMM.SYS).
