How many of each computer do you have?I try to only keep two of every retro computer I own, if I can. This way I can use the second computer for spare parts.Also, it help keep my storage easier to manage.With only two of each, I can get access to rare ICs that are no longer produced or other parts that are hard to findor very expensive.If I was to collect more that say, four of each computer, that is that they are the same model, is that now consideredhoarding or just a major collector?Would like to hear what you think.Thanks all the subscribers and viewer like you!Big thanks to these Patreon members!Dave Vintage Apple Techyoutube.com/@DavidStahlOLDHAPPyMACsJamie's Hack Shackyoutube.com/@JamiesHackShackRavenWolf Retro Techyoutube.com/@RavenWolfRetroTech/videosThanks to Dave for the channel donationDave Bradley - 8-Bit Commodore Manyoutube.com/@DRBradleyPhotographyRudy's Retro Intel email: retrointeldiy@gmail.comFor more vintage computer information, check out my GitHub: github.com/RudyRetroIntel Help support this channel.

Simplifying My Setup: Choosing the Ultimate Printer Rudys Retro Intel 2024-05-02 | Do you have several different retro\vintage computers and what to use a printer?? Then the Commodore MPS1250 is the one you should have a look at. I'm showing several printers that I ownand will show how the Commodore MPS1250 is the only one you really need.00:00 Intro and Showing Printers12:02 Looking at manual16:00 Apple IIe Printing21:04 VIC20 Printing24:01 Picking a PrinterApple II series printer commandsPR#7 LISTPR#0PR#7 is the slot that your parallel printer card is installed (1-2, 4-5 and 7). On a IIe slot 3 is used for video. On Apple II\II+ you can use slot 3. Slot 6 is used for theboot floppy drive controller card.PR#0 deactivates the printerCommodore VIC20\C64 printer commands:OPEN 4,4:CMD4:LIST:CLOSE4This command will open the printer port, do a list of what is in memory and then close the portWill the Apple ImageWriter II printer work with a Commodore 64?Yes however, you will need an RS-232 interface on the Commodore end, then use an Apple 25-pin to mini-Din cable. You might have trouble with PETSCII (CBM’s different character set). The Commodore 64 (C64) does not have a standard RS-232 port. The port marked "Serial" on the C64 is its native IEC port, which is different from RS-232. However, the User Port on the C64 can almost be used as an RS-232 port. The voltage levels are +5/0 instead of the ±12V of RS-232, so there's a need for some level shifting, which can be handled by an external MAX232 IC. So, while it's not a straightforward process, it is possible to adapt the C64 to communicate with standard RS-232 computers or peripherals. Please note that you will need some software running on the C64, as there is no built-in support for redirecting the RS-232 port to the keyboard input.Replacement Print Ribbon for the MPS1250Commodore MPS 1250 = Citizen Compatible Black Printer Ribbon, AH37945-0Thanks to Dave for the channel donationDave Bradley - 8-Bit Commodore Manyoutube.com/@DRBradleyPhotography#apple #commodore Thanks all the subscribers and viewer like you!Big thanks to these Patreon members!Dave Vintage Apple Techyoutube.com/@DavidStahlOLDHAPPyMACsJamie's Hack Shackyoutube.com/@JamiesHackShackRavenWolf Retro Techyoutube.com/@RavenWolfRetroTech/videosRudy's Retro Intel email: retrointeldiy@gmail.comFor more vintage computer information, check out my GitHub: github.com/RudyRetroIntel Help support this channel.

Unbelievable: Repairing Apple III Monitor Easily Rudys Retro Intel 2024-04-19 | Hello, everyone and welcome to Rudy's Retro Intel. I have a very special treat for this video: an Apple III monitor that I found at a garage sale for free! What???It looks like it has been well-preserved.Will it work? Can it be saved or go to e-waste?? Can basic maintenance fix it???Come and see what happens!#aprilapples This monitor was designed specifically for the Apple III computer, and it had some unique features. 1. It has a fine mesh on the CRT to reduce glare2. It has a very slow phosphor refresh, which created a ghosting effect with any video movement3. It also had a standard composite video input jack, which made it compatible with other computers, such as the Apple II seriesThe Apple III was released in 1980 as Apple's attempt to compete with the business market, but it was plagued by many design flaws and technical issues. One of the most notorious problems was the overheating of the logic board, which could cause the chips to pop out of their sockets. Some users even resorted to lifting and dropping their computers to fix them! We won't do that to the monitor!However, because of the poor sales and reputation of the Apple III, this monitor was not very popular or widely distributed. It was discontinued along with the Apple III plus in 1985, and it became a rare and sought-after item for collectors and enthusiasts.I hope you enjoyed this video, and I'll see you next time, Take care!Thanks all the subscribers and viewer like you!Big thanks to these Patreon members!Dave Vintage Apple Techyoutube.com/@DavidStahlOLDHAPPyMACsJamie's Hack Shackyoutube.com/@JamiesHackShackRavenWolf Retro Techyoutube.com/@RavenWolfRetroTech/videosRudy's Retro Intel email: retrointeldiy@gmail.comFor more vintage computer information, check out my GitHub: github.com/RudyRetroIntel Help support this channel.

Surprising Hack: Use a Commodore VIC20 to fix Commodore PET Rudys Retro Intel 2024-03-22 | Using an older version of the Commodore VIC20 computer to fix a Commodore PET computer? Yes!! There are several chips that are used in both computers. Let's have a look at them.MOS 6522 VIA (Versatile Interface Adapter) - I\O control like keyboard and ports. The MOS Technology 6522 chip was used in the Commodore PET for peripheral I/O, The 6522 was used for interfacing with the keyboard, cassette tape, and other peripherals The 6522 was also used in the Commodore VIC-20 for peripheral I/O. The VIC-20 has two 6522 chips, one of which is used for the keyboard matrix and the other for joysticks, various ports, etc.2114 - RAMThe first version of the Commodore PET 2001-8 used MPS6540 ROM chips and MPS6550 RAM chips. Later versions substituted 2316B ROM chips in place of the 6540’s and/or 2114 RAMs in place of the 6550sMOS 6502 - CPU (Central Processing Unit) executed at 1Mhz* Can also get the 6502 and 6522s from a Commodore 1541 floppy drive *Here are PET assemblies that use the 2114 RAM chips for the video RAM.Dynamic PET Assembly #8032029 2114 is used for video RAM.Dynamic PET 80 Column that uses 2114 RAM for video RAMAssembly #8032030-01 80 Column Dynamic PET 32K, Assembly #8032030-02 80 Column Dynamic PET 16k,Assembly #8032030-03 80 Column Dynamic PET 16k,Assembly #8032030-04 80 Column Dynamic PET 16k,Assembly #8032030-05 80 Column Dynamic PET 16k,Assembly #8032030-06 80 Column Dynamic PET 16k,Assembly #8032087 Universal Dynamic PET that uses 2114 RAM for video RAMAssembly #8032090-01 8032-60Hz PET 32K, Assembly #8032090-02 8032-50Hz PET 32K, Assembly #8032090-03 4032-60Hz PET 32K, Assembly #8032090-04 4032-50Hz PET 32K, Assembly #8032090-05 4016-60Hz PET 16K, Assembly #8032090-06 4016-50Hz PET 16K, * 2114 static RAM is always used for video RAM on all PETs, except the first two boards from 1977 that used 6550.* 2K of video RAM (4 chips) for 80 column PETs and 1K (2 chips) for all others.* The 2001-N Dynamic PET could be reconfigured with jumpers for different types of DRAM chips and different amounts of DRAM.I hope you enjoyed this video and learned something new and happy repairs!Thanks all the subscribers and viewers like you!Big thanks to these Patreon members!Dave Vintage Apple Techyoutube.com/@DavidStahlOLDHAPPyMACsJamie's Hack Shackyoutube.com/@JamiesHackShackRavenWolf Retro Techyoutube.com/@RavenWolfRetroTech/videosRudy's Retro Intel email: retrointeldiy@gmail.comFor more vintage computer information, check out my GitHub: github.com/RudyRetroIntel Help support this channel.

Improve Your Kaypro II with a Video Output Adapter Rudys Retro Intel 2023-12-17 | In this video, I show my new video output board. It was made so that vintage computers that don't have external composite or RGB2HDMI output now can have it. The Kaypro II computer doesn't have this, so let's see if I can get it to work.This board, I call it the Generic Video Out adapter Model 2320 and can do the following:1. Composite video output2. R2GB2HDMI video output port - Needs RGB2HDMI board to get HDMI videoThis board can also be used in computers that have a video problem that can't be repaired. Like a bad picture tube or fly back transformer that can't be found\replaced. If the part is no longer available, then you can put in a small modern screen with an HDMI connection and connect this board. Next think you know, you are back in business.Hopefully, you will enjoy this video and watch my GitHub page for when the gerber files will be released in early 2024. I am not selling this board, but if you really need one, you can contact me via email.UPDATE!! Check my GitHub page for the Graber files. There are now 2 boards. One is as shown in the video and the other is just foe RGB2HDMI connections. Use either one.-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------I would like to thank all the subscribers and viewers like you!----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- *************************************************************** and a big thank you to these Patreon members!***************************************************************Dave Vintage Apple Techyoutube.com/@DavidStahlOLDHAPPyMACsJamie's Hack Shackyoutube.com/@JamiesHackShackRudy's Retro Intel email: retrointeldiy@gmail.comFor more vintage computer information, check out my Github: github.com/RudyRetroIntel Help support this channel.

It's a dual drive 5¼" floppy disk subsystem for Commodore International computers. It uses a wide case form and uses the IEEE-488 interface common to Commodore PET/CBM computers.These drive models use a similar single density, single side floppy data storage format to that used by the Commodore 1541 drive, but with a slightly different data marker indicating which model originally formatted the disk. The low-level disk format was similar enough to allow reading between models, but different enough that one series of drive models could not reliably write to disks formatted with one of the other model series.Drive commandsHere is a list of the most common commands that are used with this drive.2040-4040 Commands**note 0 is the number zero and not the letter**Format Disk- name_of_disk = name of the diskette- D0 = drive number, D0= drive 0 or D1=drive 1HEADER"name_of_disk", D0, I01View contents of disketteDIRECTORYCATALOGVerify disketteTo verify the diskette in drive 0COLLECT To verify the diskette in drive 1COLLECT D1Backup diskette from one drive to the other- D1 = will be backed up - D0 = where the copy will be made toBACKUP D1 TO D0Save program to diskette- 0 = drive number, use 1 for drive 1- DEMO = name of programSAVE"0:DEMO",8Load program to diskette- 0 = drive number, use 1 for drive 1- DEMO = name of programLOAD"0:DEMO",8Rename a program name- D0 = drive 0, change to D1 for drive 1- OldName = the existing name of file- NewName = the new name of the fileRENAME D0,"OldName" TO "NewName"Delete a file on the diskette- D0 = drive number, use D1 for drive 1- FileName = the name of the file to deleteSCRATCH D0,"FileName"
