Sigh... Sadly it is from.an era long before small system standards. How cool would the world be if we could have standardised on a single floppy format. We couldn't even get RS232 right On Sat, 14 Mar. 2020, 10:56 am James Zeun, wrote: > You know what, it's very tempting as I find

Re: [M100] DVI cable length

You know what, it's very tempting as I find soldering very cathartic. But the cable is ordered now. I'm gutted the DVI writes floppys in a different format to the TPDD. Curse you Tandy! On Fri, 13 Mar 2020, 6:16 pm Brian K. White, wrote: > On 3/13/20 5:15 AM, James Zeun wrote: > > Well of

Re: [M100] DVI cable length

It's easier than that. If you take pretty much any idc connector and put it back to back or hed yo head with another, the end result is the "twist" where pin 1 switches places with pin 40, pin 2 switches places with pin 39, etc. What I mean by "any idc" is, for instance, a wire-to-board back to

Re: [M100] DVI cable length

Jim the header you used to connect to the underside of the M100 is pretty darn sturdy, I'm not sure why it was acting up. Best guess it a loose wire some where or something like that, I'll check it out with my meter when I get started on this. Still I'm going to re-purpose it and try make a new,

I saw the post, I just didn't know an answer better than "easy enough to just try it" which is not all that helpful, but I guess at least then you would have known your post posted. Although part of the cable has special wiring and connectors, once you have a proper cable, it doesn't require

Hey everyone Think I might have messed up messaging the list last night, so I'm sending my post again. My apologies if it did go through. Just a quick question, how long can a DVI link cable be? My new cable arrived today and while it's longer than what I had, I could still do with it being

Re: [M100] DVI Manual

Yes -ish. I have 2 manuals, but I have 2 DVI's, and ideally I'd prefer to keep the manual and dvi together. But if no one else comes up with one I might as well let someone have it who actively wants it. The manuals are scanned on line so when I go to sell the 2nd dvi I can always print out a nice
