Re: Q133 battery removal

2007-04-27 by pstnotpd

I had to do a lot of soldering during education, so I know I'm not
really good at it ;-)

PIA or ACIA are for periphiral interfaces. I'd prefer the ACIA (rs232)
but for now I read in the service manual that one of the ribbon plugs
on te Q133 should be connected to a spare PIA.

It's rather preliminary, but if I'm correct it should be possible to
rig a plug to a PC com port and do file transfers from and to MDOS
diskettes. The goal is to offload my rather precious sound library to
a more reliable storage medium, and to facilitate exchange of files,
for instance through this forum.
