I've been trying to do a little work on the RDI BriteLite IPX I have here, but when it runs more than a few minutes the LCD just blanks out white. The machine seems to still respond to commands, so it seems like it's something with the display hardware. Even powered off and back on it won't go

All, I've been looking for a Kinetics or Shiva FastPath 4 or 5 for a while, without luck. Don't know why I didn't think to ask on the various lists! If anyone has one they'd like to part with, let me know off-list. Thanks, Jonathan

The performance of the DZ11 is not good.  It did an interrupt for every character, just like a DL11. The Able DMAXes blocked until a carriage return and then did a DNA, IIRC. Not sure about the DH and DHV11 - its been a long time.  We used Able DMAXes on the Canadian NAPLPS system, named

Sure. Oh in terms of price, I'd expect the standard fare: Donate an amount of money to your local soup kitchen plus shipping cost. That way someone benefits from them and they don't just go to gold scrappers. C On 10/29/2022 4:05 PM, Wayne S via cctalk wrote: Can i post your this info to

The value of the control might be marked on the board too so you could use that as a guide. Sent from my iPhone > On Oct 29, 2022, at 13:15, Wayne S wrote: > > One thought is that the brightness control might be heating up and changing > value. You can check the controls easily with a ohm

One thought is that the brightness control might be heating up and changing value. You can check the controls easily with a ohm meter. Check ohms across the control when cold, disconnect ohm meter and plug in the machine until it goes white. Then disconnect and measure across the control again.
