Other (related) things that I am looking for....
1) The plastic ROM carriers.
As am I, as well. Assuming I can get the thing working again, that is.
These are plastic mouldings that you put a
DIP-packaged EPROM into, then
crimp the pins over. The same carriers were used in the Tandy M100, and I
think 24-pin versions were used in that Panasonic hand-held machine that
gets mentioned here. I need the 28 pin ones, I think Molex once made them.
Interesting tidbit that they were used in those other machines, I didn't know
that.
2) Is the PX4 technical manual on the net anywhere
(I've found the PX8
one already).
Do you have a link handy?
The thing I need most at the moment is the pinout of
the cartridge
connector. I have a 3rd party 512K (!) RAMdisk module there which doesn't
seem to work.
First I've heard of any third-party stuff for that machine as well.
