Re: Vic-20 2-pin power connector

It's a common style that's used on boomboxes from the 80's thru today. :) Actually, most laptop power supplies that are ungrounded use a similar connector, the pins should be spaced the same. I bet you'll trip on some if you walk into most IT departments.

Re: Ray Carlsen releases new power supplies and adapters

Have you notice how his website hasn't progressed past the 90's? Kinda like mine... :lol:

I guess we're both on the scabbed-over edge of technology.

Yea, I've been out of the C= loop for a little while, have had other hobbies and stuff come into play (Ham radio, EmComm, SRT-4, etc...). Gotta clean up the computer room, so I can...

Or, try an EZ-232 interface, plugged into the User port. Find whatever terminal program you prefer, and use TCPSer or BBS Server to telnet out thru a PC. As long as you have a PC in the same room as the Vic, you'll be able to do it....

But can you use the 3K in Super Expander without activating the ROM itself, i.e. can you ever get 6653 bytes free after power-on? Yep. I modified one of mine. There are multiple jumper pads in the unit, arranged in pairs. Just cut the ones that are shorted, and short the ones that are open. Blammo!...

Well, if they're anything like the USB to serial adapters, then they should work just fine. I even brought a 4 port serial to USB adapter to C4, which worked fine with TCPSer. newegg.com and geeks.com both have those adapters, as well as knightdiscounts.com. Don't necessarily have to get one offa eb...

Most of my collection is pirated, but there are 50-70 original games that I do have... I don't think I bought all of them, maybe about 15-20 or so, but there were some games I played for days or weeks on end, and others I didnt. I remember playing Maniac Mansion and Zac McKracken a LOT. I also playe...
