What a stupid thing to do, cut the legs of the chips.... Don't do that, leave that to professionals, you're a NOOB!

Stop watching as soon as the guy said "don't turn it on, take it apart". The guy is in love by Dave from EEVBlog, or receive commission..

I got the fancy set for $14.95 in near new condition. All I had to do was replace the 2032 coin cell and clean the 9v plug and replace the 9v battery and reassemble. Now I have a working Harris butt set.

OH great tip us tape oveGood Job slots!!! Great work...thanks for sharing I have a Telegames version, I am assuming the same or very similar. I'll document what I find on mine on my channel (IN THE FUTURE) - thanks again

Did you maybe continue with this and tried to code the protocol into uC?

Question on your schematic ... you use a 14MHz crystal to drive a CD4040 to generate your horizontal timing signals and use a 5V supply voltage ... but at that voltage, CMOS in general and the datasheet in particular says you can drive it at a maximum of 3.5 MHz ... can you clarify?

To someone from the UK that looks like a hybrid of the ZX81 or Timex Sinclair 1000 within a silver 16K/48K Spectrum-style case with those rubber keys. We're so used to the look of the old Speccy that to see this is a bit unusual, and very interesting.

Here is my order for a pride mini SE case :)

Great products from great people... wish I was able to watch it live!

Meh, I've seen worse!

Even with the battery still in there? You got guts man...

Just got the clear case, but, the hardware mounting has to be purchased seperately

Hours upon hours playing The dungeons of Dagaroth I remember it well

Hi Joe. Thanks so much for this video series. It's been a huge help in understanding composite video generation. I have one question for you about color selection. It's my understanding that the composite video signal requires a ~1V peak-to-peak amplitude. From all the resources I've seen on generating this signal with digital logic, this usually takes the form of 0V being the sync level, 0.3V being the black level, 1.0V being the white level, and anything between 0.3V and 1.0V being shades of gray. My question is about how you're achieving a proper black with that configuration. If you're selecting black with a binary pattern 00000000, with all luma and chroma lines being driven to the low level, wouldn't your final output voltage be at the sync level rather than the black level of around 0.3V?

Always leave the top off and test it to see if it works first this way if its not working your there i dont even put the shield back on until i test it one of the ICs could be blown and also the very first thing is test the power pack with a meter but defiantly before soldering its wires and all that just twist them together and test it then if its working make a more permanent fix.

Nice job, from the time where Micro-Soft, became MicroSoft, to reuse your knowledge collected, why not a piggy back board for Raspbery Pi.

What are you printing? Some cartridge enclosure, by the looks of it. But for what??

Would this work on my Macintosh SE? (Just SE, not the SE/30.) I know the performance wouldn’t be an improvement compared to V1, but I just wanted to know if it would work in general. Also how is it actually attacked to the computer?

How to add monitor mode?

Very cool Joe-well thought out!

Do yourself a favor, get yourself an electric blower or compressor. Don't use canned air it only lasts five mins, and it's too costly in the long run.

I just bought a beat-up Apple IIe with a Taxan Video 7 RGB 80 col card, which I think has the same pinout as the Apple RGB 80 Col card. I know your universal adapter would be best as I see support for Video 7 cards, but your Colorizer III would be cool as a cheap way to test if the card works at all - is the colorizer III compatible with Video 7 boards, or is the composite output via that connector an Apple /// only thing? Edit: nevermind, just found the manual for that card which includes the pin out - no composite signal exists, just composite sync.

Joe, thanks for mention on the Trackstar discussion.

Very much appreciate being the outlet of all the cool toys…. You have helped keep my machines running and that’s very excellent……

Awesome stuff!

So many great projects!

does the RAMWORKS IIII include the functionality of the 80 column text card?

I like your videos

I’m still waiting for someone to clone the ZIP chip. I’ve recreated my //e from my childhood with everything but the ZIP chip.

Is there a way to utilize this as a USB adapter that could tie to a Linux box running netatalk?

Joe, did you ever produce these boards? I don’t see them in your store

Just found this!! When is the album coming out? Thanks for sharing

Woohoo! Fixed!!

Very interesting interview Joe!

The second song is: Downtown!

Thanks Joe-you always have great info

Interesting video! Thanks for sharing.

Will this converter work with Apple High Resolution RGB monitor for Macs to work with the IIgs?

Why you didnt just save it to a disk and on any linux machine or maybe even any machine just read the disk? I just write files directly to disk from linux and they work on my mac lc 2 and 3 no problem.

You can't even always trust the case. My Kaypro 1 case says "Kaypro 2" in one spot and "Kaypro 1" in another, which led to me ordering wrong disks the first time

For what the board is, it seems a bit expensive

Great story. I bought a 128K Mac in February 1984. I subsequently upgraded it to a 512K, added a third-party SCSI port, and finally upgraded it to what by then was a very expensive Mac Plus (around $4500 counting all the upgrades on top of the original $2500). I sold it to a friend in the late eighties, so I have no idea what became of it-or for that matter the original back when I got the Plus upgrade. It's easy to understand your difficulty getting an original back. Question: How were you able to shoot video of the screen without any flicker?

Love your videos, I have an Apple IIe that gives me the RAM: message after doing the hold both Apple s on each side of the space bar and turning the machine on. It does this with the RAM card in and no RAM card installed. It does not tell me which chip is bad. Any ideas?

Can i use bluescsi on an mpc 2000??

Can it the card be narrowed so that it does not block the neighbor slot? Can mouse and mockingboard both be implemented in slot 4?
