%I've been looking for a Jupiter Ace for over 10
years! Do you have any
%leads on them?
The schematics were printed in The Computer Journal last year sometime.
IIRC, The Computer Journal's URL is
http://www.psyber.com/~tcj/.
I have a jupiter ace. It's sitting is a closet
somewhere back in
Singapore.
Another sign of the folly of my youth :
I have a Jupiter Ace hanging around, also. However, I just built it
last year. Unfortunately, I had to give the rubber keyboard and most of the
memory back to the fellow I borrowed them from; I haven't yet gotten around to
building a keyboard from aluminized mylar, cardboard, and Tyvek (this should
give me a working keyboard, but it will be of ZX80 quality). I've also found
enough 2114s in an old MDA card to bring my Ace back to life...
the machine is stripped out,
the TV modulator is missing
I don't have a modulator in mine. I gummed a 15-pin D connector to it so I
could drive a spare DEC VR201 I had lying around (yes, the VR201 apparently
does have enough range to do PAL; it worked great).
