I added a little board to the I/O port for the TX transistor and cheated by using a 555 timer for the cw osc :) . There was a second board plugged into the 22/44 connector which had the program. The program in the plugin board had a program on it so that the vic 20 would run the controller program when it powered up. It was the same technique used by the plug in games. All the software was in assembly language. I think I had 2 of them running for a while, one ran for 10 years before I actually made a PIC board, which now had been running on that same repeater for 7 years. 73 Brian ka9pmm Robert Pease wrote: > > You have to write it.
