Denial

They put a copyright notice on it so - as with other copyrighted stuff there's a risk involved if going at it without asking for permission. Found images of the 2009 edition online (don't know if PCB was updated but I know the data was - I asked to get the files to update two new otp roms but... nop...

It's not that simple.

A functional Mega-Cart is more than just eproms.

I'm still selling mine, I was thinking $90, original package and instructions... will see about that overlay as well...

I've got one, and I'm about to sell it. I had a nice keyboard overlay printed professionally as well... if I can find it somewhere or I'll sell it without it. Let me know if it's interesting, it's Serial No: 0123 I might put an ad in for it unless I have any positive reply from a few other places. (...

Just wondering about the adjustment procedure, what's the optimal setting?

Thanks srowe, SkyDivinGirl helped me figure it out in a few days... as the notification of your reply has ended up in the gmail spam folder. :-( The detail I had missed was that it's supposed to be a .prg file, saved as an actual BASIC file that is. I solved it with copy and paste into WinVICE, a &q...

Hey there... it shouldn't be this hard... (EDIT: Final Expansion v3.2, r022d is used) I was going to try and run a cartridge file on the FE3, I have read the "VIC-20 Final Expansion User Manual.pdf" (where most links are dead). (Yes... I know I helped Heather making the latest released EF3...

Hey boys, are you at it again? You two are like a living, breathing soap opera, hate those - unless it's actually the tv show "SOAP", like that one. I checked the zip, wonderful documentation, loved the pdf. One must really admire the work done if documenting it that well. "Anyone&quo...

Makes you wonder where the voltage drops that much.

Have you measured the on/off button, maybe it's oxidized.

I'd guess he means an AC-DC adapter, giving 12VDC...?

3628 bytes memory is a bit odd... maybe there are more than one problem on this one.

Maybe you have bad capacitor(s) that cause too much ripple...

Boray had a suggestion, take molex connector for your PC and strip two of them, needs to be widened a little before they fit:



I wonder if some silicon could be used to make a complete connector.

I already saw them in another thread, but here we are still waiting. ;-) Just happened to stumble upon this thread as it was linked to in another discussion. Doesn't seem like a good idea to power from that end, mostly because of the thin traces between edge connector and cable and maybe the contact...

Nice to see, maybe I'll try a round now that there's some help.

Thanks for the reminder, Eslapion noted it on page 1 IIRC.
My mistake, I had drawn the port wrong in my CAD-program - it's since then solved. Don't think SkyDivingirl shipped any with the error intact. Wonder why they didn't make use if it as +5V...

I have been swapping soldered chips on my quirky computer. Resoldered the cartridge port, remove old solder and resoldered - no change. The '245:s at UD8, UE8 and UF8 had been swapped recently, don't remember if it was me so I just resoldered those - no change. Reseated and check sockets of VIC chip...
