Thanks for the info. Any chance you have a cache of the VGA+Kybrd adapters? No worries if you don't. Right now I'm thinking I'll order some 14pin ribbon connectors, then break out the VGA signals to a db15 and the other to a keyboard connector. Whatever I make will be a 1-off so it may be rough...

Have you tried running one of these with an IDE2CF (or IDE2SD) adapter? I'm trying to figure some way to boot it without a monitor. I was thinking about smashing a DOS boot + LAN driver autoboot on a CF/SD card. That way I'd be able to see it on the network and possibly telnet into it.

Hello, I have a single board computer - Cubix BC 4035 A4010 and I'm looking for information on it. I have found most of a manual at... http://www.oldcomputers.it/parts/cubix/ers/docs/sitocubix/4035-c1.htm My current big questions are * how to hook up video? The video out is a 14 pin...

Hello, I'm looking to buy a Commodore CIA chip for my C-128D. It needs to be a 6526B version.

No argument on putting a faster 6526 in place of a slower one. But, is there an actual difference in the C128 mobo(s)? Yes, the C128D (and some late C128?) have a larger VDC; the C128D has some 1571 circuitry; maybe all C128/D had some boges over their production time. Other than that, I would...

Am I correct in imaging all C-128 CIAs are the same? The C-128D has one soldered under the disk drive and another under the power supply. I do have an unknown state C-128 with socketed CIA chips. My plan is to install a socket in the C-128D's 'under the drive' location and swap in the C-128...

I have tried with and without the keyboard previously, no change there. The CIA sounds like a promising lead. Initially the PC would display an error message of 'device not present' when I tried to access the built-in drive. Some thread suggested the CIA manages the communication with the...

Thanks for the info. Granted I've only started looking but I can't seem to find the caps. Amazon lists only 50v caps, Digikey shows 10v + 50v versions. I do see a tantalum 25v.

In 40 column C128 mode the BREAK error appears. If I press 40/80 key down then I only get a green border with a black 'main' screen, no text or Ready. But I am using the video port, not RGBI. I'm fuzzy here, will that port show 80 column? I cannot get into C64 mode. If I hold down C= and...

Hello, I have a C-128D with a split ceramic capacitor (c32) right at ROM socket (u32). When I try to boot I get an endless 'BREAK' displayed on screen. Other threads seem to indicate this is a bad BASIC LO ROM and the error message is the PC dropping into monitor mode. Seems to make sense. I'm...

Is there a way to add a star/like/thumbs to a user here? I'm happy to show who's a stand-up person in case someone wants to order things from this person in the future.

I received the c64 power ends, thanks!

The LED showing volts is a sweet hack. Is it a one piece 'LED plus circuit' to read the voltage or are the LED and the circuit two different pieces? If all one piece, do you have a part number?

I'm not interested in the blocks but in the C64 ends. If they are still hanging around and you're up to cutting off the power adapter (C64 side, not the wall/outlet side) and packaging them up, I'd buy them. I drank the Kool-Aid and I'm also 'scairt' to use the actual power supply.

I'm loading up some more gear to sell. Pls PM me and I'll send you updates.

I'll be at the Amiwest 2022 this weekend. Here's a list of what I'll be bringing along to sell. I accept cash and Paypal, but, really, cash. The big thing is that you can look at the gear before you buy it, you don't pay shipping, and you don't have to worry about shipping damage...

Hey there, I'm not sure where to start this thread. Ideally I'd like a common area for people to post news as well as stuff for sale/trade while at the show. Moderator > help! Should it be two threads (news + for sale/trade)?

Just curious, what's the point of the baking soda? a soft abrasion or does it do something chemically?

I thought they were rev6 boards but this pic showing what I was talking about also shows a Kickstart v1.3 ROM. I thought rev6 boards were only KS 2.0+
