Latin Bones

Hi

Excellent work.

When I first tried it I was pleasantly surprised that I remembered so much from 30 years ago!!

shame I used Tarsals instead of the latin Tarsus.

Thank you,
Tarka

Download works -

Hi

Thanks for your reply - I went to the website and then downloaded the file and it works - for me there seems to be a problem with Firefox 3.5 downloading a file directly

I used this URL
http://sites.google.com/a/vic20.it/files/index/orion70

and selected the file.

Thanks alot, Tarka

2 pin PSU

Thank you

That is the sort of detail I wanted originally - know I understand what I can use ->
"long as the secondary is rated at least 8 but not more than 12 vAC
@ 1.8 (or more) Amps."

(RU a lecturer or teacher?)

Cheers Tarka

Thanks - that Info should allow me to move forward.

I will try to put a little 2.5mm socket between the joystick and old 2prong socket so I can use an original later if I ever find one

Shame I missed the original PSU

Older 2 pin PSU

I've now got a 3rd Vic but it has no PSU - its the older 2-pin design Even I can solder a new connector to the large coil behind the plug inside the Vic, so I was wondering if the following PSU would be fine alternative? Adaptor 3 pin Uk input, 9VAC 1900MA output. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Adaptor-3-pin...
