Different printing methods cost different amounts. The basic service at shapeways is something called SLS , which is laser-sintered nylon powder. It produces very good results in terms of both dimensional & shape accuracy and the toughness of the part, but it's expensive. The kind of printers

When the display comes on is it just black or do you see text? After the unit has lost power completely you will need to do a hard reset to get it to boot properly. I forget the key combination off the top of my head, but you hold down a few keys and hit the reset button. Jeff Birt

Thanks, Lee! I appreciate the expert insight. I hope Steve is able to rejigger the hook tabs with slightly less overhang. $15 for 50¢ of material sounds crazy, but I don't have a 3-D printer. Are there any 3-D print services that aren't so expensive? My local makerspaces have closed their

Interesting. If you have the cables, you can put a PC in between the TPDD2 and the Starlet and use that serial sniffer utility I sent you to see what's going on. That's how I figured out the TPDD2 sector access protocol. Kurt On Wed, Jul 1, 2020, at 7:44 AM, Gary Weber wrote: > STARDISK.COM

Almost seems like an FDC request. I've never encountered it. There is a response code 4X (pg42 of manual) where X can be 0-F which would include 48. But you are looking for a request not a response. What does STARDISK.COM do? Is the rest of the TPDD request formatted correctly? Kurt On Tue,
