Received this through e-mail. By the way, I recall seeing a site that sells Commodore chips. Unfortunately, I didn't save the site name into my bookmark file and it's not in Brain's Commodore links. Does anyone know what I'm talking about? It appeared int the comp.sys.cbm newsgroup. >--------------------------------------------------------------------------- >I need a MPS6526A or a MCS6526A chip for a Commodore 128. >Are they still available, and if so where can I get >one or two ??? >--------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- Tim Phelps -- The comments I made above are my own.

I have no experience with Pet's at all. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Sun, 11 Aug 1996 20:28:41 -0400 From: JanRowl@aol.com To: moranec@hal9000.net.au Subject: Service for couple of 4032 PET's I clicked on "Gaelynn", I thought? Anyway: I need a couple of 4032 main PCB's serviced. I have been using first an old 4016-N (the only one which still works!) to run a small CNC lathe I cobbled, and then a couple of 4032's which I got "new" for $100 each (in factory cartons!) when DBM shut down. These died, finally. Oh, one still "comes up", but it gets confused when loading a 6502-code via "POKE" from BASIC (it seems to think bit-6 ("64") is hi, when finding ASC of letters). The other one seems totally confused! Point is, my NEEDED machinery is "down" without a working PET (well, the old 4016 kinda works, but with the older CBM BASIC and 1/2 the RAM, it jus' ain't the same!), I am in a mess! It will be SO much hassle to retrofit a "PC" to the machine (but I have an ISA board already designed to function as the old PET's "PUP" did!), and I will have to "type-in" all the BASIC programs! (Disks are not swappable to PC, of course!). PLEASE, PLEASE TELL ME WHAT TO DO? Thanks!

A while back we were discussing CommNet and utilizing/supporting it with my BBS. Someone, at the time, mentioned who and where I should get in touch with to get the information I would need to do so. I thought I had it saved, but I've searched all my packets to no avail. Could that person please relay that information to me once again?? Thanks...

The EX2+1 from CMD, or the Skyles 2+1, both have a connector at the end, so one of the three slots lies flat. That is what I've seen most people with BBSes (which use REUs) use, as it allows for the REU to be stable as well... Hope this helps. ;) ParaPsykotic (DSW) Tony Bossaller para@mo.net http://mo.net/%7Epara ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 12 Aug 1996 11:16:11 -0500 From: Aaron Baugher Subject: Re: Novaterm 9.5 and Zoltrix Modem Date: Thu, 8 Aug 1996 10:44:24 PDT From: carrillo@CARRILLO.TINKER.AF.MIL Hi everybody, I have a Zoltrix 14.4 external modem attached to my Swiftlink cartridge and using NovaTerm 9.5. At speeds above 4800 baud, it seems like the computer can't keep up. I see the stuff come in, but the lines break, I lose data, and above 9600, I get nothing but garbage. Any suggestions? You need to make sure your modem is set to do Hardware Flow Control (RTS/CTS), and also set Novaterm to do it (I'm not sure where the setting is, but it's there.). To set the modem correctly, use this god-awful-long modem init string: AT&FW2&C1&D2&K3&Q5S7=60S36=7S46=138S48=7S95=47 If you do an AT&W after typing that in, it should be saved as the default for future use. Another thing I can't find is a setting in NovaTerm for 14.4. Do I set it for 28.8? Any help would be greatly appreciated. You don't want to set it to 14.4. Set it to 19200 or 38400. The transfer rate between modem and computer needs to be faster than the modem-modem rate, to handle compression and signalling. If it'll handle 38400, set it to that.
