TSLOAD.100 and TSLOAD.200 are now included with github.com/bkw777/dlplus That tsload.co from the Paul Globman collection page was indeed just the normal tsload for 200 not something special for XOS-C. I already had the "magic" DOSxxx.CO files in there and working for UR2, and TSLOAD does the s

Yeah I agree, if it really looks like the cover will still fit, I don't see a downside. And you're right -- these will eventually have to be replaced by either us or a new owner down the road; why not make it easy? Thanks Brian, that's a really cool idea. On Thu, Feb 16, 2023 at 11:39 PM Mike St

OK so Sean got his own, so, Mike & Gary? I'll throw in some jst connectors so if you want you can take a stab at making the pack disconnectable too for storage and for future replacement without any more soldering. I thought it might be good to be able to store the thing with the battery disco

Battery terminology I did not know! Tx. No, I wasn’t thinking of soldering the cells, just wondering on general principles. The finished battery pack is as cheap as the separate cells anyways... and Steve’s is likely cheaper yet! > Oh you sure don't want to solder to the cells. > I did not mea

Oh you sure don't want to solder to the cells. I did not mean to suggest buying individual cells, just to identify them for reference for searching for packs made with them. Battery packs are often named after the cells. The memory battery inside the 100 is called "3/V80H 2-pin" because it's m

(that picture of S/N 1955 is mine) The individual cells are V40H size. You can search for "3/v40h" or "v40h 3.6" Based on the dimensions, and based on the fact that the manual says they are nicd specifically, I just ordered these: https://www.ebay.com/itm/233664219213 If the originals are n

It’s (long since) time to replace the battery pack in my RAM+ Memory banking expansion board, and the manual doesn’t cover that aspect. I wonder if anyone here knows this kit? It’s been charging in a laptop all day, and it hasn’t exploded, but i
