OK : so Ive now got video working, but every time I boot my CMI, I get different memory configurations reported, and different number of CMI 31 cards detected. I am assuming there is something in the system casuing a problem on the backplane ? Is there some sort of minimum config

So, I spent this weekend making an adapter for connecting an 8" drive to a PC. Located the necessery powersupplies and hooked it all up to my old 486DX PC tunning DOS and Win 3.11. I can now make diskimages using the nifty program imagedisk. Disks are saved as IMD files on to HD

Bonjour Peter ! I bet Paris is lovely :) Good to hear from you again :) Ive just managed to fix it : there is a small 1A fuse on the CG3 card : it had blown. I desoldered another similar fuse out of a old commodore circuit board, and hey presto, monitor is working again. Great ad

Hi Arron. You've obviously tried another VGA monitor ??? And checked the 10-way cable from the card to the RGB-01 DAC card ?? The CG3 card should give an output even if there are other CMI issues, however I seen instances when a defective Q209 will cause no video output.. Hope th

Hello All, There does seem to be interest in ready-made 5-pin XLR cables for the mouse/lightpen interface, so I've been looking into the costs for building them. It's a custom cable, so they aren't an off-the-shelf item. They aren't too hard to make -- if you've made audio/video/
