Hi Keith, I will take you up on that offer, thank you. I'd like more than one since I'm sure I'll manage to mess up the replacement :-) I'll email you off-list. I doubt I can get them any sooner then you, and I'll be more than happy to pay for shipping and whatever number of ribbons you're

Hey Burt, Funny you mention that. I had the same problem with my M102. I tried to glue the tracks down and it didn't work for me. I'm actually going to be placing an order on Aliexpress tonight. I found 100 ribbons for $20. They will take till early September to get here. I would be willing to

Hi, Watching all the recent activity about the bad memory battery replacements scared me sufficiently to go ahead and open up my M-102 and M-100 to check them. I did, and sure enough the battery in the M-100 had started to corrode but luckily with very little reaching the motherboard, so I

Thank you Josh, for an excellent install video. Can't wait to get my (4MB) unit :-) When I saw CP/M start I did the same as you: "That is SO COOL!" -- Brings back good memories. Cheers,Bert On 7/29/20 8:25 AM, Josh Malone wrote: > The stream video is still up -??

Real (rehearsed) video will include that part, yeah. Someone else will have to do the M100 install video though. :-P On Wed, Jul 29, 2020 at 9:39 AM Stephen Adolph wrote: > Yah I went and checked it out. Fun! > Would be good if you could, to include the RXCMGR installation part, also. >

Josh, Watching the video right now. Pointing out the mistake of PCB not under tabs. Good video. Makes me glad I got the M100 REXCPM. So cool. GregS <>< On 7/29/20 6:25 AM, Josh Malone wrote: The stream video is still up - https://www.twitch.tv/48kram It won't be up for long though (2 weeks

Hi Josh, Didnt see it, is it something I can watch offline? Do you cover bootstrapping the machine, and getting to CP/M? If so that's going to be helpful to others who need a better explainer than what I put at the wiki. Thx Steve On Wednesday, July 29, 2020, Josh Malone wrote: > Thanks,

Thanks, everyone! It was fun to do. My unfortunate overhead camera setup makes my very conscious on getting my head in the way and I tend to forget things like screws and board covers. :-/ I appreciate everyone's support. I'm still figuring my way around CP/M in general so I can do a proper video

Great stuff Josh. Makes me realize I could help by adding a fast DOS injector and get the fast CP/M stuff finished in LaddieAlpha. Can't help with the soldering stuff but at least the software load can be faster. I'll try to attend your live streams live in the future -- John. >

Yes, just for no other reason than to make sure the ribbon in the connector was making good contact.  Look below: I never understood if my logic probe results on the CS pins were correct. I also tested a few other components with my multi-meter.  All were okay.   Then I reassembled, fired up
