Problems with a VIC-20
Posted: Mon May 04, 2015 4:05 am
Hello all, I'm dropping here a request of help from a new Italian member, who was writing in Italian here.
A rough translation of the problems encountered (some are not so clearly explained):
- Two different Datassettes are not working.
- Manosoft Princess works OK for PRG files, but no luck with TAP files.
- Also have one cartridge. Plugging it, it fires up, but hangs during the game.
- Tried to open up the Vic and clean it from dust, but no luck.
Can it be a problem on serial and/or datassette ports?
TIA
Angelo

I have a working Vic. No screen problems connecting it to a TV set, but:angelinotara wrote:Ciao a tutti!
Ho fra le mani un Commodore Vic 20.
Collegandolo alla TV funziona correttamente.
Ho provato a collegare due datassette ma non riesco a gestire le cassette.
Ho provato ad utilizzare la princess di Manosoft, si avvia regolarmente ma con le cassette stesso problema.
Avviando da comando l'utilizzo della SD non succede nulla.
Non vorrei che le porte cassette e seriale non funzionino correttamente.
Ho anche una cartuccia, quella si avvia correttamente ma durante il gioco si blocca tutto.
Ho provato a smontare il Vic e pulirlo dalla polvere, ma il risultato รจ sempre lo stesso.
Spero che qualcuno possa aiutarmi....
Grazie,
Angelo
