Re: C64 Cartridge port not working

Actually, Ray has been helping me diagnose the cause of the problem via remote (email). I'm getting close (per Ray).

C64 Cartridge port not working

I received my Diagnostic / Dead Test cartridge this weekend. I put it in the dead C64, and nothing happened. I'm pretty confident now that replacing the PLA will resolve that issue in that unit. Just to make sure the cartridge was working, I put it in another working C64. It wouldn't see the cartrid...

I decided to just cut the cords, and recycle the brick after talking with Ray.

Re: Commodore Los Angeles Super Show 2023 - April 15-16

I had a great time! It was really nice to see the older technology keeping the respect it earned, and is still earning. The presentations were informative and fun. Thank you Robert for all that you did (and that was quite a bit!). I won a raffled C64, and bought a not working C64 from an attendee. I...

Re: New VIC-20 Video Cable & New PSU

I found a source for shielded composite cables for the VIC-20, C64, and C128. The source is http://the-neo-retro.com I ordered two of the VIC-20/C64 cables since my model C64 has the same number of video port pins as the VIC-20, and a cable for the C128. With the shielded cables, the interference th...

This will be my first time attending the CLASS event. Do I need to register anywhere, or just show up and pay?

Re: C-128 RGBI to VGA or HDMI?

I'm not sure. I'll have to order one and find out, when I get my 128 back from repair.

Re: 128 has a blinking red light when powered on

As it turns out, my C128 is in need of repair. To be honest, I don't know if I bought it that way due to very limited testing (booting it up before I bought it)), or connecting the wrong provided power supply (Amiga 500) to it when I got it home. I ran the MEMTEST-v1.10 on the system last night and ...

C-128 RGBI to VGA or HDMI?

Today I read numerous posts about potential solutions to convert the C-128 RGBI output to VGA. It seems that what is needed is two pieces of hardware. One that takes the RGBI signal and converts it to EGA. Then, another piece of hardware with accompanying wires (no idea how these are used) is requir...
