When or if the source code is posted on Sourceforge, it can be compiled with 
CASM.EXE by Chet Simpson which is included in Roger Taylor's Portal-9 and 
RainbowIDE.

Re: CaChars is now on SourceForge.

Source is on SVN: http://sourceforge.net/p/cachars/code/

I need to:

1) Include better directions for the available assemblers;

2) Start using Toolshed so I can base the instructions on that instead of
MESS's imgtool, which is kind of unwieldy;

3) Learn to use RainbowIDE so I can make a proper project file for Windows;

4) Etc, etc, etc...

Re: source of +5v on coco to drive HxC floppy emulator?

Thanks for all the ideas!  Given the current needed to drive the board (.5A mostly
for the SD card I guess) I'm going to use an external power supply just to be
safe and it will also allow me to use it w/ all of my Cocos without having to
modify the internals.

Re: source of +5v on coco to drive HxC floppy emulator?

I saw this thread and just realized its kinda similar to a project I'm
working on right now with my JVC camcorder.  My Camcorder has a AC-DC power
supply that puts out 5.2vdc to a odd JVC plug on for the camera.  I've been
trying to find a 12VDC(input) version of this adapter but so far to no
avail.  I've recently stumbled upon a all-in-one integrated component that
should solve my problem, and 'maybe' yours as well as an option. 

The datasheet is here... http://focus.ti.com/lit/ds/symlink/pt78ht205.pdf

They convert a wide range DC input down to 3.3vdc, 5.0vdc, 5.2vdc, etc.
(depending on the exact model you get).  I just don't know if there is a
12VDC power supply point in the CoCo that can drive this thing.  Perhaps
someone else could shed some light on that?

Mystery to me

I don't know why this occurs.  Maybe it is an issue unique to just my 
particular setup.

I have VCC v1.42 setup and working just fine on a desktop with Windows 7 
Ultimate installed as the OS.  I have created several virtual HD's ( 
.vhd's).  They all functions as they should.

I have recently installed and setup VCC v1.42 on a different desktop 
with Windows XP installed as the OS.  If I copy any of the .vhd files 
from the Win 7 machine to to a USB stick and then copy them from that to 
the machine with Win XP, they are unreadable by VCC
on that machine.  VCC sees them as just blank formatted HD's.

But the reverse of that issue is just the opposite.  If I create and 
format a .vhd with VCC on the machine with XP on it, copy it to a usb 
stick and then to the machine with WIN 7 installed on it.  VCC reads the 
contents just fine.

I cannot for the life of me figure out why the reverse won't work.  Does 
it have something to do with permissions in Win 7 that is confusing XP 
that it will not correctly read the contents of the .vhd created with 
VCC on Win7 machine ?

Has this occurred for anyone else that can shed some light on it.

John

Re: Mystery to me


Hello
Maybe
Win7 has a user control that blocks scripts 
not think that's it, 
but if you want to try fence to user accounts and lower the level of protection to bottom 
(restart the computer, required) 

if not you may return to normal position

Re: Mystery to me


I use the same VHDs stored on a USB flash drive on Win XP, Win Server 2003, Win Server 2008, Win Vista AND 
Win 7. I've noticed no problems on either machine as I switch quite regularly and all the various VHDs (about
15) on the drive were created from a copy of the original Nitro VHD on the VCC distro. I've never 'created" a
Vhd from scratch.
I found the easy way is to copy the original to my flashdrive then I've reformatted it in OS9 as well as RSDOS.
Now I have a blank Vhd to use as a templet anytime I want another one. I suspect the original was created by
Robert Gault, so it's from whatever system he uses.
