Hi Kurt -
"Watchdog" is a Tracy Allen pgm that's documented here -

My stuff is in storage right now, but what I did is use the background
task interrupt to increment a secs/mins/hours counter, & display the

Jack,
Glad to here it isn't just my experience. Is your watchdog.co available?
I've toyed with building a battery pack with 10 1/3 AA cells (2 banks of
5). This would give me 6v but the capacity would be less than just using
4 regular cells.
I have two dead 8201's that both still have good power s
Kurt -
NiCds are all I use in my 8201a's - They both act identically to yours.
Years ago I rearranged WATCHDOG.CO to display elapsed-time where
the M$ blurb usually appears, which scratched my itch for a little more
battery certainty. I reset it when I change batteries - Not perfect, but
Yes, I'm comfortable with soldering a new resistor, but the NEC was
originally sold with both a NiCd battery pack and a standard Alkaline
battery pack. The only difference between the two is the charging
resistor and a jumper. I would assume that the power supply would know,
based on the type of pa
Kurt,
I'm sure it would be possible to adjust the threshold where the LED
illuminates to match the new battery chemistry. It's probably a resistor
change.
Are you comfortable with soldering on the logic board?

I've got several battery holders for my NEC units. I have converted a
couple to recharge batteries by following the instructions on
Web8201.net. The 71.5k resistor was the hardest part to find and in the
end I bought 100 of them. The batteries charge fine, and work ok. But
what I notice is that the
