May I ask what you exactly mean?
You have to provide the ROM for various machines. You can even provide your own ROMs and VICE will use them. So if you use a program that relies on these ROMs, the answer is yes.

I use a blowtorch and empty a whole board within minutes :)

I hope you understand that this is only done with boards you want to scrap anyway.

I suggest you to simply reinstall Windows XP and see if the problem is still there. As an extra: - create a partition where you only install the OS. - create a second partition where you install your programs and your data. Now make a ghost of your OS partition. And every time you perform a major c...

If you don't like it, just ignore it :)

My personal opinion: I like the layout as it is.

The idea is nice, and I plan to use some of the code I just sent an email to my private address to upload the latest code. but Parallel ports are a dying breed. The ones on my old Pentium II's and III's are still alive and kicking :) But I understand what you mean. It simply means that someone with...

May I point you to one of my projects: CBM-HD <http://www.baltissen.org/newhtm/cbmhd.htm>
Some soldering is needed but in general it is very doable. Im happy to help in any way I can.

There's a new X-cable on the block called the XS-1541 and this one is interesting because it supports IEEE-488 drives as well as IEC ones. There also exists a device called "Interpod". Unfortunately it only can be used for IEC devices ie. connecting a 8250 to a C64 or VIC-20. Connecting a...

Hallo allemaal,. I think we have two issues on hand: 1) People who may come here just to trade. Up to now mostly selling, but they may also come here trying to grab cheap VIC-20 items to resell. 2) Regulars who sometimes look for or try to sell something that isn't strictly VIC-20 related. 1) I don'...

But lazy as well; why invent the wheel when someone else already did it? :)

I sent you a pm some days ago? any news on your offer or shall I open it up to the floor again?

Have been away for some days. Will answer you ASAP.

Hallo allemaal, Yesterday I got this black cartridge for free. Googling a bit I found this thread in Denial <http://sleepingelephant.com/ipw-web/bulletin/bb/viewtopic.php?t=965&start=15&sid=80c7738369f6e518ec3992c12812c5a7> about this cartridge. But the info I was looking for, how to use the...

I thought you were interested in swapping it for Atom stuff I have?

Congratulations!!! I think is a really neat project and wold like to build one myself. Thanks :) First an update: I just realised supporting partitions. See http://www.baltissen.org/newhtm/1541ide8.htm for the hardware details. The rest is quite outdated. You need the extra RAM. I am quite sure tha...

Yesterday I succeeded in letting my harddisk equiped 1541-II think that it is dealing with a 16 MB floppy: 65022 blocks free :) Next two steps: - adding partitions. My system is able to handle up to 4096 partitions (= 128 GB). CMD only handles 256 AFAIK - subdirectories. This means supporting sudire...

I have one laying around and it seems to be in a good condition. But one remark, after two bad experiences I stopped sending things by post. So if you are in the neighbourhood of Heerlen (NL), you can have it for a reasonable price.
