Re: Adding resistor to FMPAC for use with a NMS 8250

Hi, Thanks for the extra info.. but... I still need to find out where R428 and R429 is somewhere on the NMS8250 motherboard. I've removed the casing and the drives bay but couldn't see anything there.. Perhaps it's under the print that has all output connectors on it but I don't want to risk remo

Hi, I'm about to replace R428 and R429 on my NMS8250 with the described elco's from the MSX FAQ to fix the sound when used with a FMPAC.. The problem is that I can't seem to locate the resistors... Can anybody give me a hint on where to look ?? -- Roel / Utopia Sound Division http://utopia.a1.nl

The Elektuur version is not made to the MSX standard. By the way, more MSX developments that were published by Elektuur suffered from serious problems. There is a signal on the MSX cartridge connector that is called BUSDIR. On some computers this is not a problem. This signal controls the databus

Hi, Thanks for your reply.. Well this brings me to a new question... The SCC and the MusicModule don't have this problem. So they have something in them that avoids/solves this problem. So can't I simply modify the FMPAC in someway instead of having to do some soldering in my MSX ? I now know th

Hi, I've tried the SCC suggestion to fix the sound with the FMPAC on my NMS 8250 and it worked. Since I don't want to put in the SCC everything I use the FMPAC I need to add that resistor. Since I don't feel like soldering in my MSX I'll simply put it in my FMPAC (pin 49). When I read the Ultimat

Second question about the tcp/ip stack, what is in between of the IP (internet Protocol) and the PPP (point to point protocol) since the ip only communicates with the link layer (802.3 etc) is it IPCP (internet protocol control protocol) or is there something more between IP and IPCP ??? greetz

Elco is a capacitor (or condensator in dutch). (electrolytische condensator) The plus/minus is clearly marked on the housing. And no it is NOT a resistor, nor does a resistor have a plus/minus side. Buy those 2 elco's (een paar dubbeltjes) and replace the resistors as marked on the motherboard.
