How do I change the device number for the 8050 Drives? (include device number & pin {jumper} settings). Q-4. How can you go beyond Device #15 on the Commodore 64 computer?

I want to keep Device #10 open ("IF" I can find a CBM hard drive {ei. 9060 or 9090}). Then I have two 8050 Drives & three SFD drives. I want to hook them all up together.

Lately, I have been doing some remodeling in the library, compressing its contents and storing the archives on 1581 disks, etc. I have noticed, however, that there are some disks which are either missing or hopelessly damaged in our club's Compute!'s Gazette disk collection. Can anybody help me restore and/or complete our set? We have every disk from May 1984 to February 1995 with the exception of: 2/88, 9/89, 12/89, 7/90, 8/90, 9/90 Also, I have attempted to Convert all of the included GEOS USR files in this collection over to standard PRG files so that they can be successfully compressed into the archives I'm making, although 3 of the 4 USR files on the 6/89 disk will not convert. Any clues on why this is not happening? I'm currently using a batch version of Convert 2.5 to do this. Also, why is there a GEOS USR file called "CALENDAR" on both the 3/90 and 2/91 disks? This particular file on the 3/90 disk is corrupt and I cannot compare them to detect the differences between them. I thought it odd to find two GEOS files with the same name on two different Gazette disks 11 months apart. Can anybody supply for me a replacement copy of the 3/90 "CALENDAR" file so that I can restore this particular disk issue in our library and compress/archive its contents too?

I suspect you mean "Swiftlink", which is an RS-232 adapter that can allow you to do way beyond 2400 (to 38K something or 56K something, I forget).

(Here being Calgary, Alberta, Canada) > Just a thought before I start getting my purchasing hopes > up... Consider this: I'm talking about 12 years of collected commodore stuff. I'd guess if I could piece it all out at half what it origianlly cost, I'd get maybe 4 times what I'm asking as a bulk deal. Also if you do decide you want this stuff, a few other things to think about. theres a CW/ converter in a plugin (only works on the 64.) A term program for the 64 on a plugin. both with docs. about 5 5 1/4 cases of filled software. Books, manuals,etc.. To ship it anywhere someone doesn't actually pick it up in person, I would have to CASE it all in a wooden case. I'd say consider 100 lbs shipping as a conservative guess. I wouldn't even think of using cardboard for this type of shipment. Oh yeah this will be coming from Cocoa Florida.. On the map, mid state and on the east coast. If you decide to take it, figure shipping for 100 pounds. If it's more than 100 lbs, I'll eat the difference. If less, I'll return the diff. --- GEcho 1.00 * Origin: Static Line C= Support 407-633-6855 (1:374/128) X-SystemInfo: Buyers Review: Cbm X-Message-No: 133 (original); 123 (database) From: Ken Waugh Subject: C=64/128+ Date: Thu, 25 Jul 96 12:43:00 2 C= 128 ............................... $75.00 each 1 w/Jdos 1 C= 64 ................................ $15.00 May work... 2 CMD HD's 85 meg ...................... $200.00 100 meg ..................... $250.00 2 1541 drives .......................... $20.00 ea. 2 1581 drives .......................... $80.00 ea. 1 1571 Drive .......................... $40.00 1 Modem Supra 2400 ..................... $15.00 1 Swiftlink ............................ $50.00 1 1750 512k Expansion .................. $40.00 1 EX2+ Expander ........................ $30.00 5 Original Geos programs................ $10.00 ea.

My solution: Go to Radio Shack and ask for a crimp-type DB9 comnnector (be sure to specify female). It'll be under $2.00. The pins in the package are on a tree. With a small jeweler's screwdriver, push the old pin out. (they are pushed from the wire side) As you push, you will see the connector emerge from the case. Pull this out the rest of the way with pliars. Okay. Push the wire through the connector and attach the new pin. make sure everything is crimped down well. There are 2 crimp zones on the pin. One is for the wire, the other is for the insulation. When everything is well, push the new pin into the plastic Later, Mark Alley --- Opus-CBCS 1.73a * Origin: Chipper Clipper * Bradenton, Fl * 941-745-5677 * (1:137/2.0) X-SystemInfo: Buyers Review: Cbm X-Message-No: 142 (original); 132 (database) From: Jeremy Craig To: Gary Ranchuk Subject: Re: Transfer IBM/Commodor Date: Thu, 25 Jul 96 18:23:00 Please send the file.
