I don't know what normal/available/practical software might be available, but one interpreter of epson matrix codes I know of is part of VSI-FAX. You can feed it captured epson matrix printer output (IBM ProPrinter, Epson MX, Epson FX, etc) and it would render it as a tiff for faxing. -- bkw On J

Okay. Thanks for the hints. Anybody know any good RAM diagnostic techniques for a 102? It's been a long time since I've used a scope in anger on anything but serial or audio. I'll dig into the datasheets tomorrow and see if I can gather any clues. A quick probing shows lots of address line activity

Re: [M100] Epson MX80 emulator for the PC

Have you tried one of the free text-to-pdf converters to see how it handles the formatting codes? BTW, I also sometimes use a P-S converter and it's probably not relevant for you, but it's fairly trivial to simply redirect most programs' print output to the com port... m - Original Messa

Re: [M100] 32k M102 suddenly showing 24k

Duh; sorry, I saw the M100 references and didn't notice that we're talking about a 102. My 102 is similar to the 24K M100, with three soldered chips (3 x Sony CXK5864PN-15L) and one Mitsubishi M5M5165P-12L (M6) in a socket. Don't know what the history of yours is, but I'd actually suspect M6 (o

Re: [M100] Epson MX80 emulator for the PC

Yes it would, but it the old printers take up heaps of desktop real estate, need ribbons re-inked, replaced and is awkward to use with standard photocopy paper. I tend to keep ‘print-outs’ in paperless form nowadays. From: M100 [mailto:m100-boun...@lists.bitchin100.com] On Behalf Of Jan-80 S

Re: [M100] 32k M102 suddenly showing 24k

*All* of them? Are you sure? Even the left-most one? I always believed that there were only two models (in NA): 26-3801, an 8K base memory version with three expansion sockets, and 26-3802, a 24K base memory version with only one expansion socket. What's your model (and serial) number? m

No, they're all soldered. I was hoping a reseat would be warranted, but alas. On Jul 4, 2016 3:39 PM, "John R. Hogerhuis" wrote: > If you have socketed ram chips you may need to reseat then. > > -- John. > > On Monday, July 4, 2016, Josh Malone wrote: > >> Thanks. For some reason, finding the 1

Thanks. For some reason, finding the 100 cold-start procedure via Google wasn't working for me. However, the free memory hasn't changed. It's still stuck at 24k. I guess it's time to get out the scope/meter/etc. and see what's going on. Not looking forward to this and not exactly sure what to try

Hi All, I have hooked up a parallel to serial converter on the printer port of the M100 and can receive output to the printer on the PC using a terminal program. Basic listings and programs sent to the printer work fine and show on the PC terminal screen nicely. However, when I use to print a

Re: [M100] Model T cassette cable

I feel the same out of my experiments. It has to do with attenuation of volume on one side and mic gain on the other. I was able to play load from MP3 format so I do not believe it is an issue of lossy compression. -- John. On Sunday, July 3, 2016, Bill Nobel wrote: > Thanks for the feedback gu
