[M100] molex ic socket

[Brian K. White]

There's some new sockets on ebay
https://www.ebay.com/itm/153988317907

I still have a bunch and will give or sell cheap a few to whoever needs 
a them for repairs & spares, but still, I figured this should be pointed 
out.


Anyone doing repairs should probably go scoop some up.

Re: [M100] molex ic socket

[Doug Jackson]

Hi Brian,

Years ago when I was a trainee, I replaced my Molex socket with a DIP
machined pin one so I could use it for a project i was working on- I am
sorely regretting that nowadays.   It excludes me from the REX/CPM
stull for example.

I would have purchased that set of 10, but they don't ship to Australia -
so I would have to use my forwarder there at $40 odd  and that get
stupidly expensive.

Would you be willing to sell me one and put it in a padded envelope for
shipping down under?

Kindest regards,

Doug Jackson

Doug,

 

If Brian is not able to send you one, I would be happy to. It might be a bit 
thick to ship in a padded envelope as normal ‘air mail’ which is supposed to 
have a 19mm maxim thickness. I have pushed the limits of this in the past to 
closer to 25mm and the packages went through. The difference in shipping cost 
is drastic, $6 for ‘air mail’ $16 for first class parcel.

[M100] PC-8201 "wide" DIL socket?

[Stephen Adolph]

The NEC laptops use a wider than .600 DIL socket for the memory modules.

Anyone ever seen those sockets available for order, or have a part number?

I don't think I have ever come across those anywhere else.

thx
Steve

Mine just has separate single-row headers, not a single socket holding 
both rows.


Same size and same modules as Model 100.

I did once find these NEC ram modules on ebay though that do have a 
one-piece frame for the pins at 0.7"


It's curious. The sram chip, the pcb, and even the pin frame are all 
labeled NEC, but as far as I can tell from any other pictures I've ever 
seen, PC-8201 did not ship with these. But they DO work in both my 8201a 
and my Model 100's.


If NEC didn't make these for their computer which they DO work in, then 
what the heck WERE they made for?


The seller was in Romania and had more than the 8 I got, but sold out a 
few months later.


Just for giggles, I filled my 8201A with them, so I have an NEC computer 
filled with actual NEC ram.

[Alex ...]

I used this a few years back when I first got my model 102 as a tool to try
and learn 8085 asm. It was the only assembler I could find that I could
actually get working.

[M100] DIALER

[Peter Vollan]

Well, the program DIALER will persistently dial a number and then
automatically call Telcom when a carrier answers. It there way to make it
automatically turn on capture/download?

Re: [M100] PC-8201 "wide" DIL socket?

[Stephen Adolph]

Well I have a silver PC-8201 from Australia that has DIL 28 pin sockets
with flat pins not round,  that have pin spacing to match the ram module.
Socket is marked KEL, but I can't find a catalog that references such a
spacing.  must have been a custom.
I'm sure my beige 8201s have the single row machine pin sockets.

Anyhow no big deal, I am pretty sure that the with is .725" between the
rows, to match the "raw" standard RAM module.

Re: [M100] PC-8201 "wide" DIL socket?

[Stephen Adolph]

Yes I bought 2 of them.  That was 2016?  Sheesh.

They are made for that pinout.  So, was there some other application for
the "M100 ram module"?

Some NEC product?

There was a comment from GadgetUK on one of the M100 videos I did where he 
mentioned the RAM module looked like the one used in something else. I’ll see 
if I can look up that comment.

[M100] nec pc-8300

[Montana Quiring]

Hello everyone,

I'm a long time lurker. I used to be involved in the M100 community and
made numerous purchases and had many conversations with Rick Hanson back in
the day.
Thanks for keeping the community alive. I read the emails from time to time
and enjoy the conversation.
I'm trying to pair down my stuff in preparation for moving over the next
year or so and am going to potentially sell some items starting with a
working NEC PC-8300.

I know some of the groups I'm on are particular about posts pertaining to
selling items.
Sorry but I don't recall this group's position on that.
Is it ok if I talk about it here?

Regards,
-Montana

Hello Montana,

Offering items for sale on the list is allowed, and welcome.

Hello Montana,
Depending on location, condition, and price I would be very interested.
What continent are you on? I already have a PC-8300 but I would class mine
as more of a parts unit and I am looking for something in better condition.
Thanks.
