Yeah, the Corona is a neat looking little box. Haven't had a chance to do anything with it yet, though.

Actually, the Kombi stands a bit taller than a station wagon, but doesn't sit as high above the road as an SUV... IIRC... sort-of a cross between them, with some genes from a VW Microbus and Land Rover thrown in (although Kombis predate the Microbus)... I'm told many are outfitted for camping excursions. -dq

OT: DAVE 2.5.2 for Mac

by healyzh＠aracnet.com

Does anyone happen to have a copy of the V2.5.2 updater for DAVE? After about 2 1/2 years I'm finally using the copy of 2.5 I bought, and it looks like Thursby no longer has the updater available for download (instead it looks like they want you to buy a 3.1 upgrade).

Grid LT 1755 bat indicator

by lgwalker＠mts.net

I've scoured the net, even joined the URGrid mail-list, read the Tandy specs closely, but can't find any info as to what the flashing red battery indicator means on my Grid 1755. Even the Grid proponents pass on it. It works but the battery had gone belly-up. I bought a "new" battery and for a while the former orange changed to green but later on changed to the flashing red. It accepts minimal charge but not enough to power the HD when off charge and displays the low-power steady red indicator before dying. If it was simply indicating a dead battery the old one wouldn't display a steady orange. Could it be lack of enough amperage from my adaptor to be able to charge ? I submit myself to the collective knowledge of the list. Lawrence Reply to: lgwalker(a)mts.net Love of the Goddess makes the poet go mad he goes to his death and in death is made wise. Robert Graves

Mikrokolor Color Graphics Interface

by marvin＠rain.org

This weekend, I was given MikroKolor Color Graphics Interface by the person who designed the hardware, Paul Andresen. The basic operation was to interface a TMS9918A VDP chip to a TRS-80, Apple II, and S-100, and the output was NTSC color composite video. A color modulator was required to interface it to a TV. A two part article was written for 80 Micro in 1982 by the person who wrote the software, James W. Cole. They took out full page ads under the name of "Andresen's Electronics Research & Development, Inc." >From their ad: "The MIKROKOLOR Color Graphics interface is designed to provide the new TRS-80 Model 100 portable computer with high resolution color graphics and text capability, utililizing a standard color television or color monitor. The MIKROKOLOR provides 256 x 192 graphics, with 15 colors plus transparent. Its 3 dimensional Sprite plances provide for simultaneous display of all levels. I has four modes of operation available: 1. Text mode: Provides 24 lines of 40 characters each using a 6 x 8 dot matrix, and provides 256 user devinable characters. 2. Multicolor mode: Provides 64 x 48 color graphics. 3. Graphics 1 mode: Provides 256 x 192 color graphics, 24 lines of 32 characters each, utilizing an 8 x 8 dot matrix with 2 colors per character. 4 Graphics 2 mode: Provides the same as Graphics 1 mode except allows 16 colors per character." I'm curious if anyone else on the list has one, and has anyone used the unit? It seems like it is a pretty neat unit!

Digital Machine - Cards I Can't Identify

by tarsi＠binhost.com

Greetings, all! I obtained a Cambridge Digital machine the other week at an auction for $25. I am going through the box to identify what is in it. Being new in the world of these sort of machines, I'm pretty clueless. I've figured out some of the cards, but the following I can't identify. Can anyone help me find out what they are and some docs or webpages about them? I have listed the card #, where it's located in the machine relative to the drives and the PSU, and any numbers, symbols, etc I have found on the card. I have also on some of them listed what they might possibly be. I have already figured out the processor card, which is an 11/73 processor (KDJ11-AA (M8192)) and the hard drive is a Fujitsu 2312K. The floppy controller is a Sigma Information Systems Floppy Controller. That and one of the cards is a DRV11-J. The memory is Chrislin Industries 512K board. The rest I'm rather clueless about.
