Oh, it happened 3 years ago, rest her soul; When I was pillion last weekend on a BMW R1100 (like the one the police use), 3 drivers drove like idiots at the bike or ignored it. That bike is heavy, it will not end well in a collision. And the road was slippy, to make things worse. My thoughts are wit...

Never heard the news of Alison..? Or why someone would post years after my last post?

Already on that Paul! The chair for the project is a gaming chair, thats kinda like a rocking chair, with built in speakers already, but the design flaw is the wires... So...in true Simbo styleee the electrical pickup is a solar panel (already sourced), with a motorbike battery backup, so the panel ...

I hate to expend so much effort in a thread.... But the project leader didnt understand simbo, so culled the project, but I wish to prototype this, SO----- Alison, would there be a way to incorporate the device posted into a remote, wireless solution ? I must say that you are pretty unclear here. W...

I hate to expend so much effort in a thread.... Thats a nice device you have there Alison (bet thats not the first time you heard that line eh??) Basically what I want to do is to remove the touchpad device from a USB or PS2 device, as the keyboard part is u/s, and transplant it into a gaming chair,...

I don't see my origional question in my op post, maybe it was lost or edited?

What I wrote, ain't there now, lets leave it at that.

Censorship. I dunno. See I "PURPOSELY" never used SImbos name??? but his name appears in my OP post now? And half what I write has gone?

If thats the game so be it.

No need to be rude! You quote yourself, and quote something you didn't origionally say - very strange. And why do you always quote a contract to people? I don't have a contract with you. Whats that about? If what you write is clear to yourself, but, and as I've pointed out before, nobody else can un...

I have no idea what was just said. Talking mousepad not touchscreen?

Alison?

Is it the harddisk logic or the primary or secondary controller that you need information for?

And err...for WHY? Are you re re re inventing the wheel? It is obsolete afterall..

Chandler (love the Simbo reference fella!) - are those voltages quoted present when the computer doesn't turn on? If they are then the PSU might be OK, but if not... Otherwise a short within the cart might be pulling the bus down? (I have a strange sense of deja vu, thats why I asked you to reread, ...

I think maybe it's USB??

I've an interesting idea! Maybe incorporate a touchpad into a keyboard so no mouse required? Maybe use a seperate PC keyboard interfaced to an Atari..then use Simbos or ppera help, maybe get that touchpad use useful? Mostly all keyboards that I see outside PC is laptop, so an external PC keyboard wi...

Love it.

oh this is such a strange atari :x after using a different cartridge last night and the thing died again and had no joy when switching it on again all yesterday (ie: power light comes on but blank black screen and no floppy light) so i've left it for 24 hours, just switched it on... and it works ag...

The origional problem has not been clarified as a short on the 5v rail. The 'microfuse' hasn't been diagnosed as a fault...this is a microfuse.. http://parts.digikey.co.uk/1/parts-y/30578-microfuse-fast-acting-031a-0273-031v.html maybe rolyrat boy is right?? and ppera is also not off-line When will ...

You dismiss a weak PSU Simbo? But have a guide on weak PSU's?

Go back to your cave man! Never heard such tosh.

Sounds like it was the straw that broke the camels back fella, re-search for PSU failures, the cart might have had an internal short that wiped the PSU out.. But going off the bizarre faults and machines you encounter mate......you seem to have a different and challenging fault almost daily! So wher...

im sorry sir ratboy well ive only one thing to add take my post and spell check it yourself i can understand it fine otherwise learn my language and understand this :contract: BLANK !!!! go travel to aus on: T.W.A Total Overall No Inverse Travel You Ask .. When And Next Known Enemys Rejoice???? Mak...

Not being funny or anything Simbo, and I know you mean well, and know your stuff, but is there any way to spell check what you write? Maybe copy/paste it into a wordprocessor, then paste back in, if the php add-on isn't available? It's getting really hard to read what you are putting down? And there...

Or the cable has an open circuit..

Meter the wiring to make sure no o/c, maybe an intermittant fault?

If reseating the chips helped, but not totally cured the problem, then I'd take the chips out completely, and clean all the pins manually, and use some degreaser on the sockets - carefully; if possible source new chips to replace what you have, follow Greenious' information, then you may cure or pin...

erm. about transfering from pc.. i have a you know a printer cable. but with the same plug in both ends. can i use that to transfere. i have a dos machine i can use Here you have a 50-50 situation. Either this is a parcp cable that is usable for what you need or it isn't in which case any attempt w...

7407 is a hex buffer/driver w/open collector high voltage output, doesn't mean a lot does it? So it could be a data buffer, or it could be to do with the power, trace its print connections back, make sure the ic is getting power, and as Alison says, if in doubt - change it, they aren't dear. Its a b...

I stand corrected. Thankyou for the info.

I have the No$GBA emulator, it's stunning (GBA & DS). Not had much success with the Archimedes emu tho.

Back ontopic - I don't think that lack of support for the 68000 was the case, as I think ppera stated; Apple used the brand until quite recently as stated - however I feel it was a longer time ago than PC users remember(!) I don't think 14 years counts as "quite recently" :D As far as I can tell, t...
