Re: XA1541 cable to USB

Jeff-20 wrote:In theory, would an XA1541 or XE1541 work with a Parallel to USB cable and a relatively newer notebook?
In case anyone encounters this thread in the future the answer to that question is no, such adaptors will not work.

Anyway, why not use the uIEC you already have?

So Macbth is lurking, eh?

As for the graphics depicting delivery, might I suggest something a little less violent?

By promoting other sites. Got you. I misunderstood "active" to mean you wanted to become more involved personally rather than promote. FWIW, Denial appears on the first page when searching Google for "VIC-20" or "Commodore VIC-20" but there are some simple steps that y...

Indeed. Once you go about:blank, you never go back.

How will adding more links to the front page accomplish that?

I assume most people use a bookmark to get here so the actual URL isn't all that important. As for the front page, I admit that I go directly to View posts since last visit so I rarely see it. And while I'm thinking of these things, I must give kudos to Jeff for linking the Denial logo at the top of...

Can someone explain to me why this commands such high bids? I attempted to answer that question but the thread disappeared. What I wrote was that the price was a reflection of the fact that it is rare and complete. I've only seen the cartridge, without the manual and/or CPU, for sale once in the la...

They may be using the word "any" to mean any standard, 'PC' 5.25" drive. The website talks of the TEAC FD-55GFR which supports the 1.2MB HD format. If you want to connect a Commodore (IEC) floppy drive to a PC there's always the XU1541.

There must be a sanitized version for the iPhone. I remember a few versions where the theme was changed but everything else was the same. I found myself with a little addiction to a version called SolarWars which was sort of a DopeWars meets Space Empire Elite hybrid. Ever thought about doing a VIC-...

Truth be told, the handhelds I've spent the most time playing with and enjoyed the most were Palms/Clies. My Palm TX is on the fritz right now and it's bumming me out. I'm debating whether I should spend the money to get a new digitizer or buy a Nokia N810 to run the emulator. I know it will never h...

I though that one of the main reasons for the larger screen was to make it easier for older people to read. That was my understanding as well. I like my DS Lite but I find it difficult and uncomfortable to use because of its size and staring at the tiny screens always results in eye strain. The DSi...

I didn't realize that. The whole business was a poorly organized (mea culpa) but I'm glad it worked out. I had hoped we would make a little more of a fuss so as to make you blush. :)
