Have you checked Ray Carlsens's vic-20 diagnostics page?
http://www.classiccmp.org/dunfield/vic20/v20diag.txt
There might be interresting leads in there.
Good luck with resurecting the vic. We can never have too many vics on this rock!

Hi Mike! I don't know about the specific program and example you are talking about, but go on google, and seach for "vic-20 interfacing blue book". You should be able to find a pdf version of the nice little book, and in it is an example on how to set-up a thermometer for the vic-20, among...

darkatx! nice suggestion! I found what you refered to, image on page 48 of Lovine 1989: http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8195/8356719966_f8633be827_z.jpg I can see on there our friend 2N3904, listed as alternative to 2N2222, which backs up Phil's reassurances. It is intreaguing that the resistor on thi...

I’ve searched around to see what I have available already with regard to parts, and I don’t have the exact same parts as suggested in that book’s schematic, but here is what I have handy, which may be equivalents or close enough: 5V coil relay: I have Resistors 2.2k and 220 ohm: I have Diode: use 1N...

Nice find for the kijiji link... I actually AVOID going on kijiji as much as I can, because I don't want to accumulate too much VIC or C64 stuff or other vintage computer stuff. I guess I don't trust myself hahaha!. Or rather, am trying to put energy on using the darn thing instead of spending time ...

Thanks Phil!!!! your suggested mod makes more sence and looks like the way I envisaged, regarding the pins of the Relay. I guess I can remove the LED from its current suggested location and try it elsewhere if I want it to be triggered by Vic's power source. Good suggestion for the battery mock-up f...

Help - Relay switch design
Hi , I am getting interested in building a relay device from scratch and would like some help from the hardware folks, to understand and make sure I get a first prototype switch to work right from the User port, and not damage the VIC. I initially went on a search and apparently found the exact circ...

DavPow Cool! I should update my provile, i actually live in Dieppe now, but it should be obvious to you why I didn't bother :P It's interresting that in New Brunswick, at least through Kijiji, vic20's pop-up as often as C64's if not more. It's nice to see here another maritimer. Is your interest in ...
