Re: [M100] Dust Covers

[JIM FARLEY]

Back in the 'old days', the late 1970s thru early 1990s, at the telcom company 
for which I worked, we used translucent plastic computer covers which would 
protect the computer/terminal if the overhead sprinklers went off.  I don't 
remember dust being a major concern.

My M100 has the black vinyl soft cover. Good for general keeping, but I do
have to remind myself not to stack stuff on it. A cloth one would work as
well. That got me to thinking about those plastic "expanding" folders... if
you removed the folder divisions somehow, that might make a good carrying
case.

Hmmm, actually a cloth cover may be just as well.   Could even embroider

Re: [M100] Dust Covers

[Frederick Whitaker]

I was wondering why cloth dust covers haven't been considered. It is a 
lot easier to make one out of cloth, and tends to be more durable. 
Plastic has a way of not lasting as long as you would like, especially 
the thinner clear plastic.

Re: [M100] fig-FORTH

[John R. Hogerhuis]

The usual way to do this is a post assembly step that takes a hex file or
binary data and creates a Basic program that can poke the contents into
memory.

That's what I did with hterm. I have makefiles and Perl scripts but that
may be overkill for you (of course, nothing kills like overkill).

The best way of course is a Tpdd client in ROM and then you build a CO
directly on your PC and transfer that in. But that requires a tsdos rom or
rex.

One trick for reading and writing ascii files to the serial port is to
either save/load from the basic prompt or save / load from TEXT. This
avoids and screen I/O which allows a faster baud rate.

[M100] TPDD2 power supply

[Charles Hudson]

I returned to the faulty power supply about which I posted several days
ago.  Using the same DC power supply, which measured 7.8 VDC at the tip
with no load, I once again applied power to the board, which was out of the
case, unattached at P3 (to the disk drive) and free of the RF shield.

The last time I ran it I noticed some of the components, including the
transformer, got very hot.  This time that symptom did not occur.

I checked the voltage at various points on the board; I found 7.6 VDC at
the on-off switch, for example, and 6+ at the VCC and GND pins (8 and 5) of
the MB3761.  However, there was no voltage at the OUT or hysteresis pins of
either the A or B channel.

Next I looked at the capacitors.  I couldn't test them in-circuit except to
check for resistance.  Most were in the low-K-Ohms.  None were of infinite
resistance or zero resistance and where there were two rated the same their
resistances seemed similar so I moved on to checking resistors.

One resistor was out-of-spec, low.  A few were in spec.  At least 11 were
of infinite resistance, including the voltage dividers at the input to the
MB3761.

I may have contributed to their demise with my previous test of some days
ago.  This is a DC-to-DC converter and uses an LC resonant circuit to up
the voltage.  It is a form of switching supply, in other words, is it not?

Could I have fried it when I applied power without the load of the disk
drive attached?  Too much heat comes from too much current, possibly, so I
believe there is another component that is shorted and that short
contributed to the failure of the (tiny) resistors.  Which component I do
not yet know.

Please feel free to add your suggestions or set me straight on what I have
concluded so far.
Thanks for your replies.

Re: [M100] Dust Covers

[Gary Weber]

You're right Bert, maybe it could more appropriately be called a
"protective cover".  I remember it was black thick plastic and it had the
Club 100 logo on it.  I'm basically looking to replicate that, somehow.  3D
printing is probably a good way to go.  But I really liked the shape of it,
how it hugged the keyboard to stay exactly in place.

Unfortunately, I don't personally have access to a 3D printer, nor do I
have the design tools for creating CAD objects.   We could just take the
outer dimensions of your average Model T and ask a favor of someone who
does have the tools to come up with a CAD file of some kind.  But I'd love
to get the contouring such that it has the raised portion around where the
keyboard is.

Re: [M100] Dust Covers

Hi Gary,

When you say "plastic dust covers" I tend to think of the thin,
flexible, and usually clear plastic that we used to cover our PC
keyboards with.  But the part I believe you are thinking of was not that
flimsy -- it was a very sturdy cover that protected the screen and
keyboard.  It was held in place by four velcro tabs.  I have one but
unfortunately cannot part with it -- it is currently protecting my
M-102. :-)

I don't know of any other places that manufacture them.  This may be a
candidate for a 3D printing project?

Cheers,Bert

I found that CHANGE.BA will save and load hex files to and from the serial 
port.  I’ve carved out the bit of code that loads files, and I’m experimenting 
with that now.

Remember those plastic dust covers that you could set on top of your Model T?  
I think Rick used to sell them, with his Club100 logo, if I remember correctly.

Having just moved from Oregon to Arizona, I'm finding that the house gets 
covered in dust about twice as fast.  Now I do keep most of my various machines 
in their vinyl cases most of the time, but I'd love to be able to shield the 
keyboards of the couple of Model T's that I keep on the desk.

First, does anyone have any of those old dust covers that you just don't use 
anymore?  I'd love to get a couple of them.

Secondly, anyone know where you can get something *like* this?  Maybe a place 
that can fabricate make custom-sized plastic covers for a less-than-obscene 
price?

Thanks,
