Denial

Addendum There was also apparently a centronic parallel port cable associated with the VicTree! From the same review (Compute! September 83): "There are also commands intended for use with any "Centronics" type printer (with no extra hardware needed besides a cable to connect the prin...

I did some searching on the forum but I haven't actually seen any discussion of this particular product! Apparently the VicTree cartridge from Skyles Electric Works had a feature to support a networking product for the VIC named the "Cee-Net". From a period review of the VicTree I saw this...

Aargh!! I purchased one and the QOS tape worked exactly ONE time before coming off the reel (maybe the tape broke too, not sure)! There is no good way to access the internals of the tape cartridge to see if its repairable from what I can see. I think my only hope here is to be able to find the archi...

You're probaby correct. But I ended up converting "antimatter splatter" to a wav file with Audiotap and using the mp32c64 to play it back into the datasette port and it worked! Unfortunately the save didn't not result in a working file I could play back so not sure what is happening with t...

I recently acquired an mp32c64 from eBay. This unit allows you to play mp3 files recorded in the VIC/64 audio encoding scheme straight into you VIC via a datasette emulation. It looks really neat and I want to try it out! The problem is I don't have any mp3 files for use with it! I'm familiar with t...

Snap! Thank you so much for pointing this out to me!! Hopefully the tape actually is intact and doesn't break the first time I try to use it!

What I found is that a simple runstop/restore will return the screen back back to the center. Minor annoyance! Thanks for the suggestion!

Well this seems to work but its for the C64 unfortunately!

I'm looking for the VIC version. The quest continues...

Thanks for your suggestion! My understanding with this drive is that for it to work at all, you need the boot wafer, which contains the "QOS" or the equivalent to DOS in order for the drive to work at all. I will look at the link closely though because I am hoping that I am mistaken! Thank...

Anyone? I've got real money behind this request I want one of these boot wafers so if you are holding, lets talk!

I recently picked up on ebay on of these wafer tape type Entrepo drives. Unfortunately the "Master QOS Wafer" tape that it came with is broken and I don't believe its repairable. Is anyone in possession of a working copy of one of these wafer tapes that I could duplicate? I have three NOS ...

Yes I see that this problem does not exist with a PAL VIC.

Are you aware of any magic pokes that can restore the screen back to its original NTSC position?

Awesome thank you for the link! I have wondered for the last 35 years what the differences between NTSC and PAL were and how to handle them correctly. !

I'm trying to use the Mikro Assembler but keep having a most annoying bug with it. Any immediate mode syntax error will make the visible screen text area jump down and right 25%, which makes reading the bottom right quarter of the screen not visible! Anyone else seeing this behaviour? I have to type...

Thanks for your reply! It was very helpful!

What ultimately worked for me (with the least amount of effort and thought!) is to disassemble with x65dasm a gorf cartridge and see how it did its initialization.
