Actually I would download the STL file and have Shapeways or Sculpteo print it rather than use the Thingiverse option, because this part has small detailed features that are difficult to do a good job with FDM printing. I'd rather get it printed by SLS printing. I'll post some links with that all

Hi I see where you are going but in this case no. The cpu has a fixed time period to get a response on the bus. As you go faster the device simply cant put the correct data on the bus in time. Waiting in software would amount to asking the device repeatedly...but every response is incorrect. Wh

David, to restore using RXCUTL you must first have done a backup with RXCUTL. RXCINI is to rebuild REXCPM (REX half) from scratch. Steve On Sun, Nov 15, 2020 at 5:03 PM dgris...@knology.net wrote: > Stephen, All > > If I need to do a full restore of both the CP/M and REXCPM, will RXCUTL.DO > res

Yes, the stock CPU can run at 5MHz at least. I haven't tested it on my latest incarnation of test setup so I don't have fine resolution on when it dies. I could see how much more is in the tank for a stock cpu. I actually don't think it is worth it to use the Tundra 8MHz chip because the rest of

John, good question. In fact it is hardware. the response time of those drivers is pretty slow. seems like the first thing that happens is the pixels start to get distorted a bit. And then if you go faster, the laptop freezes at one specific location - in a loop where the LCD driver status is c

Steve, I was not successful trying to get Teeny into my M100. Same for LaddieAlpha. I think that my 64-bit Win10 laptop is not capable of sending just text as a file transfer. I tried TeraTerm, and Putty with no luck (although TeraTerm was the most helpful via configuration options). I will

I have some more results. My 74HC4046 PLL worked pretty well to generate a fine tune clock rate. It is a bit jittery, so not ideal. As a result this data is probably worse than it really is. These results are using hardware with 1) 150nsec EPROM ROM 2) 100 nsec SRAM 3) M2 upgraded buffer Proces

Steve, I thought about this a lot. I suspect that my method of getting RXCINI.DO into the M100 is the key flaw, not your work at all. I will next: 1. Check the REXCPM physical installation 2. Try Teeny More later. All this just reminds me of how computers were back when they
