Ah! Thank you for that link, I couldn't find anything like that!

Is it safe to use my ET3000AX EGA mono output with my MDA monitors? I've read some combinations of CGA/MDA equipment can damage each other.

Thanks for the feedback!

I think I have a bad BASIC ROM on my VIC and I don't have an oscilloscope or spare ROM to test with. I am getting the solid blue screen with blue border with no cursor and no text. I do have 2 spare fully working C64's. Will temporarily swapping the ROM over work for testing purposes...

I recently pulled out a Model III that was fully working a few years back when I first got it. I pulled it out to clean and prep for sale and the keyboard was giving the wrong characters for the wrong keys, and some keys gave nothing. I turned it off and tried again in a few days and the...

Thank you! This is exactly the info I was looking for.

I have noticed that most of the integrated VLB video of the mid 90's usually only has 1mb when the chipsets will often support 2mb. Is it feasible just to solder on IC's that have double the capacity in place of the old ones, or are the onboard video bioses fixed on a certain amount of memory...

Thanks!

I need to buy a replacement for my IIgs, and every listing on eBay claims that the cables are the same for both machines. I just want to confirm before buying.

Ah, thanks! That's at least one part of the software I wanted. I'll see if it works with mine. I don't have a desire to mod mine with CP/M. Was just pointing out the possibility for others that might be interested because I know modding the old Amstrad PWC's is popular. I suppose a CP/M mod...

I was finally able to buy a very decent Brother WP5600MDS with the amber monitor today for $20. It needs cleaned, but everything is working and it's not beat up. It is however missing all the manuals, and the OEM floppies with the external software these units came with. Is there a place where...

Yes. thank you so much. DOSDoom 0.653 is exactly what I was looking for.

I like them a lot personally. I have gotten back into writing, and they are an excellent distraction free writing tool. I am actually trying to get a 90's model with a divorced monitor right now.

Just curious. Thought it might be fun to try on my old 486 with a more modern control system.

I understand that Smith Corona used an inferior leaf-spring-over-membrane design on many of its models that becomes very poor to type on after sometime. Can anyone advise me on which Smith Corona models don't use this keyboard, or if Brother WP's have a better designed keyboard? I need a unit...

Thanks for the feedback. I'm certainly no expert on video signals and what it takes to make them work between connection formats, so a project like this is probably out of my reach for the time being unless I can dig up a step by step project someone else has already done.

I want to use an amber Smith Corona word processor monitor with 9pin MDA connection from the 90's with my old IIc and am looking for a device to buy or build that will make this possible. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks for the feedback. Also, I love your videos and am a sub.

Mine is pretty stout. I've maxed ram to 56MB, CF Card, 1MB VLB ET4000/W32, and I am using an Evergreen 5x86-133MHZ CPU upgrade. So I'm thinking I've got a pretty decent range of options power wise.

I'd like to use my old 486 to do some serious writing, and am just wondering which software was considered the best at the time. I grew up using MS Write, so I am out of the loop on the subject.
