I rendered it at 300DPI and OCRd it. When you try to uber compress the file the schematics start to become unreadable. Jeff From: M100 On Behalf Of John R. Hogerhuis Sent: Monday, January 8, 2024 1:24 PM To: m...@bitchin100.com Subject: Re: [M100] Tandy Portable Disk Drive 2 service manu

Perfect, thanks Steve. Now I can curl up in bed with the TPDD2 manual on my Kindle Scribe. Hosted at https://bitchin100.com/files/hardware/TPDD2_Service_Manual.pdf -- John. On Mon, Jan 8, 2024 at 11:48 AM Steve Baker wrote: > Greetings! Thanks for the opportunity to send this along — hopefull

Hello folks — I was able to compress the PDF to about 15mb at 144 psi, medium quality. The compressed file looks good and the detailed bits are quite legible. Might there be a place where I could upload or send the file? Cheers, SB -- Greetings from Steve Baker (he/him/his) “Gravity brings me

Birt, would it be a big deal to render this to somewhat lower fidelity? Or split into multiple files? I'm trying to send it to my kindle scribe through Amazon's service. It's 80Mb... gmail's largest attachment size is 25mb. Supposedly I could send it as a zipped attachment but that only brings it

Thanks, I figured it HAD to be a typo, otherwise it would be rather ironic for it to have more than 5x as much RAM as the standard 100 could support. On Mon, Jan 8, 2024, 12:05 Darren Clark wrote: > I think the 128K or RAM is a typo and should only be 128 bytes. Looking at > page 97 (set the dat

I think the 128K or RAM is a typo and should only be 128 bytes. Looking at page 97 (set the data to drive's memory) and page 89 (get the data from the drive's memory), there is only enough room to request 125 bytes at a time. Also from my disassembly of the TPDD1 ROM and the very similar arch

In LaddieAlpha source, I have the following mystery commands: 14, // $0E 35, // $23 48, // $30 49 // $31 14 /$0E remains a mystery. 23 is Get Version Number...solved! 48 is Read/Write Data in Sector Mode... I guess that was already solved it just didn't matter to Laddie 49 is Read/Write Data to s

Geez, up-front the manual said 128K of RAM! I was thinking one could reprogram the ROM to make it a ram disk for a sec there, but the parts list only shows 2K of SRAM unless I missed something? Anyway, thanks much for the efforts, all! Great stuff. Tim On Mon, Jan 8, 2024, 10:23 wrote: > Th

Thanks Jeff, A lot of this looks similar to the TPDD1 with the exception of the sector protocols. Quite a few years ago I wrote some software to copy sectors. It would have been nice to have had this at the time. Great to finally have it. Kurt On Mon, Jan 8, 2024, at 9:22 AM, bir...@soigeneris
