That's the one. Hard-core Atari enthusiasts say it's doing well, but I don't know how reliable they are as a source. I'm not a fan of the new company because it's also into crypto. But hey, new paddles!

There are still many dozens of horse racing tracks in America from New York to California. It's a $3.5 billion industry that employs close to four million people. Betting on horses in America was $12 billion in 2021. I'd say there is certainly a market for this kind of program.

If you get tired of scrounging for working paddle parts (as I did), the latest incarnation of Atari started making new paddles at the end of last year. I got a pair for Christmas, and they're surprisingly good.

The Atari VCS doesn't output composite. It outputs RF. It can be modified to add composite output, but that requires adding a bunch of circuitry to the machine.

I'm late to the discussion, but at one time I worked for a large three-letter broadcast network, and there was a VAX at each company-owned station. It was used by the Accounting department and to schedule commercials (the "Traffic" department). I never used it directly, but was the daily...

I'm of zero help to you with hardware, but I am the former owner of one of these machines. So my advice to you is to find a program that will let you run EGA programs on the Convertible. I think it was called something like SimEGA. I used it to play SimCity on my Convertible, even though the...

I thought the IBM PC could run CP/M natively. Why did people produce Z-80 cards for it? Was there software available for Z-80 CP/M machines that wouldn't work on the 8088 CP/M?

It's just sad how much vintage computer information is locked up in proprietary, arbitrary systems like Google Groups, or worse — Facebook. Few people realize that they're an "AI" hiccup away from being permanently locked out of these companies. Thankfully, people still post manuals to...

Do you mind if I ask who the intended audience is for this item? Was the Newton keyboard so good that people want to use it on a full-size computer? Or is it intended to interface with some other piece of portable electronics?

Any thought about selling assembled units? What do you think the price would be for something like that?

Thanks. I'll put that in a list to look at another day. Honestly, I don't care enough to go through all of that, assuming it even works. (My experience compiling things from GitHub is that it rarely "just works.") I have too many other things to tinker with. Since you've already done this...

Unfortunately, CG Term crashes on startup on the latest macOS. And CCGMSx does not have a Macintosh version.

Good luck with your project. It's been a number of years since anyone made a solid state replacement for the 100's disk drive. The last one that I remember involved a bunch of wires and an Android phone. Obviously, not ideal; and not nearly as elegant as most floppy drive replacements like...

That's a feature, not a bug. The "ghosting" is an artifact of the screen (I think it's the coating) having a long decay time, so the tube can have a slow refresh rate, which helps reduce eye strain on the user. I used to use one of those terminals at a job long ago, and find it quite nice...

Sorry, I don't have the software you're looking for. But I do have an interest in ARB. Do you know if there's a place on the internet for ARB? Do you mind if I ask about your interest in it?

I'm trying to find out if there is anyone left who can repair a TRS-80 Model 100. I have one with some power issues that I'd rather have fixed than buy another one.

Any thoughts on how to play Zork on a TRS-80 Model 100? I'm 99% certain an official port was never made. Googling around I found that about ten years ago someone was trying to port CP/M to the 100, but I couldn't find any information on whether the effort was successful or not. And even with...
