Re: Cartridge designs released - Eagle PCBs

Hi, all! I'd like to order the 8K two-panel cartridge PCB from PCBway, but they need a Gerber file instead of an Eagle file. Does anybody happen to have a Gerber file version of that? Here it is. I haven't been on since 2020..it's been awhile. The PCBway will check them, if there are any issues jus...

Re: Vic 20 not powering up

I checked the power supply connecter with a multimeter and there were sparks and I almost was shocked :? I can now safely assume that its sending a crazy amount of voltage to the vic 20. I also forgot to unplug the power supply from the wall :? Does anyone know if it can be repairable or if my vic ...

Re: 35K RAM expander with built-in SD2IEC - worth it?

I just received the cart from Jason Micari of Australia. $62 US. As with his SD2IEC that I had bought from him, the case is 3D-printed. It arrived relatively quickly. I'll give it the acid test at the Aug. 10-11 CommVEx! Gold plating on the edge connector ? There is a massive thread here about this...

Re: This is a temporary domain.

Others have reported the same "cpu usage" problem. People started experiencing this shortly after Hostgator was purchased by Endurance International Group . I have been told by others that it is best to stay away from any brand owned by EIG for reasons like this. I had different but disap...

Re: This is a temporary domain.

I don't see how CPU usage would be high with the traffic we see here...One question, Why is it possible to get a directory on the domain and be able to access backups etc. ? Could this be part of the issue if the access is somehow being exploited? Is it possible the site was compromised and a bot in...

Re: VIC for parts or repair

Since you aren't affiliated I'll state that it's way too expensive. Assumed to be non working, broken KB, no power supply and poor appearance.

Re: £10 off - Penultimate+ Cartridge Discount Code

If only they would integrate an SD2IEC device into the cart (would that be a difficult task?), it would be even more of a 'must-have'... I don't necessarily see that as greatly beneficial. Having both C64s and VIC-20s, I would see it as a burden to have to turn on my VIC-20 to be able to use the SD...

Re: 35K RAM expander with built-in SD2IEC - worth it?

I like it because it's all in one and it looks like it's using the 3D design case file I modded too.
