An interesting read

Look at Dr Dobb's August 1979. There is an article on computer crime. It is interesting how times have changed. Dwight

Re: BBS software was Re: looking at buying a pocket PC / PDA

I'd get a RS232toWIFI dongle, they're cheap and easy to make a connection via simple terminal software to an outside telnet target. I don't think the RS232 to WIFI dongles from the one guy are often unavailable. I think the creator hand solders them in small batches or something.

Re: DEC RX03 RT11A file extractor

A bit more on the RX03 floppies and why putr probably dies. The home block for these contains the usual "DECRT11A" and "RT11A" tags, as well as the Rad-50 "V3A", cluster size and first directory segment pointer, but everything else in the block is set to ASCII space (hex 20), including the

Re: H7861 PSU issues

That's good to know. I'll head over to Maplin after work and pick up some timers and sockets. I removed one of the suspicious ceramic caps and tested it and it came out fine. The other cap is shared with the other oscillator so I assume it is fine. Thanks! Aaron. Rob Jarratt via cctech

RE: H7861 PSU issues

I had a dead 555 on a completely different PSU, so it could be worth checking. I socketed it when I replaced it so it was easy to replace again. Also, just because a capacitor doesn't appear swollen or show signs of leakage, it seems that this doesn't necessarily mean that it doesn't need
