Does anyone do (for hire) component level repair on boards? I have a Model III that I believed I recapped both power supplies last summer. Plugged in last month, worked for a bit and started getting iffy. Eventually it got to the point it wouldn't boot and I noticed one of the caps in the power...

Hello Folks. Does anyone have a guide or walkthrough for using an HXC floppy emulator with the CoCo's? I am able to make a blank disk (image) for the HXC, format it, Dir it, save to it etc. But once back on the PC I don't appear to be able to read from or write to the HFE file? I...

Are the Apple ][e keycaps removeable? Does anyone have good hints on how to clean sticky keys on a machine that hasn't been used in 20-30 years? Isopropyl alcohol?

It has been a long time since I had a functional Model-I. But I recall having a serial cable that hooked up my Model-I (which had two floppy drives) to my Cocos (which had no floppys). I vaguely recall having a program to cload software from the serial port. The speed of this would be set by the...

Hello Folks. I was digging out my Compupro 816 from my basement and found a bag with some goodies. I found some Coco and early Model-I manuals and tapes that may be of value to other VCFed users. I would be willing to scan and/or share information from the the manuals if anyone on here...

I found these two PROMs, on an archaeological expedition in my basement. I am thinking one of two possibility's, monitor roms from an X-80 (A Z-80 trainer made and used in house at Technical Career's Institute), or slim possibility out of an IBM or ITT ATW...? Any ideas? I have a reader here...

Hello Folks. I picked up a 4P from eBay that worked fine for about half an hour when C32 blew on the power supply board. I would also like to replace C33 at the same time. This is one of the Tandy power supply boards as opposed to the Astecs. I did come across...

Hello Folks. I picked up a working Model IV with two 5.25" drives. Originally the drives would 'work' but would sound terrible and clunk a lot. Neither drive would format a blank disk. I ran an old 5.25" cleaner disk on it. Which didn’t seem to help much if at all. Since this was a Craigslist...

Hello Folks. I have two Model I's. One is the one I had when I was a kid. Me and my late father used the heck out of it. We had a copy of one of the modifications for the Model-I so we added lower case and the 2.5MHZ hack. I would really like to get this going again for sentimental...

Hello folks. I have a Model III that bought for dirt cheap when Radio Shack disco'd (discontinued) the III, I think I was even able to use my employee discount. Well, I put it in the cellar for ten years, recopied a few of my diskettes and then let it sit for the last 10 or so. Its a bit...
