Check this out! Not only is it a dumb way to do things, but it does not even work the program just hangs! 13 IF AL$ = "S" OR AL$ = "R" OR AL$ = "T" THEN 15 ELSE 13

Re: [M100] another program
The program in #80 did not entirely scan and the parts that did not are just the kind of thing I can't imagine sitting around and typing in. But I did unearth a program that I tinkered with when I was first learning basic, "Time Keeper", a program for keeping track of time and rolling for wandering monsters. I just cut out the text and pasted it back together and have barely begun to check the formatting errors. I will just post the text of the program in the message following this one. From Dragon #49.

Re: [M100] Request for info on RS DV Interface
That would be an option, but I think I’d be happier doing something internal. Swapping the PSU shouldn’t be to hard. Only I wasn’t thinking about swapping components to make to psu z240v compatible.

Re: [M100] Request for info on RS DV Interface
Probably the easiest and safest :) method is to use an Auto-transformer to step down the UK 240V to the US 120V. They should be available with a UK plug on one side and a US socket on the other you can then simply plug in the DVI unit without touching any live 240V mains - they are generally packaged for immediate use no need to wire up. The DVI unit takes 66W (according to the manual) just make sure the Auto–transformer is capable of supplying more than that I would look for something >100W. The only issue is that the 120V will be at 50Hz and not 60Hz which will make the internal DVI transformer less efficient but it should be OK. https://uk.rs-online.com/web/p/autotransformers/3101156/ this one might be a good option to look at, there are quite a few others, the higher VA the better - depends on your budget. The other issue will be the composite video output might/will need an adapter too in order to convert it to the UK PAL standard, it will be NTSC Composite output in the US version. They are available on the well known online auction sites or other online retailers. Some of them claim to convert to HDMI although not sure how good the quality will be from those units. If you have a composite video monitor that should produce the best results.

I’ve never done anything like that, so if anyone can give a little hand holding, then sure! I’m fine soldering, it’s just I haven’t played around with power supplies.
