    Zenith MasterSport 386SX (ZWL-360-06) PSU pinout request

    Hi, I have a Zenith MasterSport 386SX but no PSU. The machine works (HD's dead) when I put 7.2V on the battery terminals so that's great, but I'd obviously like a PSU for it. It has an 8 pin din power connector that says 11V. I can't find a user guide, service manual or any technical...

    Hello from Vancouver, BC

    Hi, I am Stefan. I found this forum searching for information on a digital group Z80 I am trying to get to work. It's a bit older than the computers I am really into - these are also mostly Z80 or 6502 type machines such as the C64 (first computer I owned), Apple II series, MSX, Amstrad, ZX...

    Digital Group Z80 - almost working

    Hi, I fairly recently bought a digital group Z80 system (16K). It's in pretty decent shape, but not quite working. When powering up I get the message to Load Z80 INITIALIZE Cassette. No matter what I load, the load never completes - when the audio stops nothing more happens. If I then start...
