PLAYING WITH ELECTRICITY

~- Mar 26/88 ~- Harvey Taylor

what the hell is a modaptor anymay?

One of my greatest disappointments mith the Ql when I originally got it was the serial ports. then I discovered I couldn't just hang a garden variety moder off the serial ports, I mas po‘ed to say the least. I have written in the past about the reasons for these probleas, however in brief the serial input for both ports is aultiplexed onto one serial input on the 8749 IPC fIntelligient Peripheral Controller] which has to watch the keyboard & make noise & keep tine as well. Consequently the serial port has a tendency to drop characters nom & then.

Another consequence of this arrangement is that the programper does not have direct access to the device which controls the serial parameters. ie Data bits [5-8], Stop Bits Ci-2], & Parity Cnone,even,odd,mark,space]. You can ask QDOS to ask the 8749 to Change the Parity & Baudrate, however the internal ROH of the 8749 is forever (?) hidden from the programmer. If you're driving a printer, this doesn’t much matter. Homever if you want to get input from a moder in North America, problems arise. One probles is that just about every BBS in the world expects you to use 1 Stop Bit. The Ql expects you to use 2? Stop Bits. The Modaptor is a hardware device that gives you two stop bits. It also Serves the function of generating . @ 75 Baud output signal from a 1266 baud output signal. I have not looked at this function because it is only used in the UK mith Prestel & those systems which expect the 1206 baud receive/75 baud send protocol.

I have heard of people getting modaptors with the part nusbers defaced so that reverse engineering is impossible. For some reason eine cane readable. This is the circuit.

Single board Nuclear Reactor supplies Stand-by power for 12 years! Now avaliable on a fuli-length plug-in card for the 1BM, or compatible, the @RY-! nuclear reactor card provides back-up power for up to 12 years. When the card senses a power failure, explosive charges {bolts) eject aoderator and control rods from the reactor interior, within eUaasecs, bringing the reactor to it’s fully rated Gutput of 20Ke, in less than one (1) g@illisecond! Over it’s 12 year active life, the reactor’s power decreases by 25%, to {5kw, Integral heat fans provide convection cealing of the reactor’s SQ0W power dissapation while the reactor remains in “stand-by" position. It your computer cannat furnish the 400ft per second of forced air far cooling, consider buying the sanufacturer’s heavy-water cooling jacket and stainless steel pump module, which fits conveniently under a desk, or workbench. Latches on each side of the reactor @odule let you quickly swap the radicactive core, should you need to replace it. An optional circular viewing port af lead glass lets you view the reactor’s interna] assepbiies, & also functions as a ten (10) aillian cand] epawer nightlight.

Te protect users from undue radiation, each card contains a shielding kit, comprised of five (5) self-adhesive lead plates, and 20 radiation-aonitoring fila badges. The lead plates mount to the inside of your computer enclasure, insuring the reduction af haraful gagea rays, which cause saft errors to floppy disks and RAM data. For sore protection, consider the manufacturer’s 200’ extension cords for eonitars and keyboards.

Hecause the card can supply more than enough power for the standard computing station, you can sell the excess power to your utility coapany., a5 provided by law. An add-on phasing and metering kit {(PMK- 1: Jets you connect your reactor to the local power grid. Each PMK-1 kit includes standard power sale contracts and Rural Electrification Board rules & regulations,

Aithough not required everywhere, each reactor includes a Standard 23- value site evacuation plan. The plan includes forms, to allow you ta register the nage and address af your reactor site with the Nuclear Regulatory Commission. fs an option, the seller supplies the plan on MS-DOS compatible diskettes, in Wordstar format. User-friendly tesplates jet you type in the data allowing your word processor to create a complete, grinted document.

Reactor prices start at twelve (12) aillion dollars (US). Please allow six (4) years for delivery. (Prices do NOT reflect union considerations, or include cost over-runs. }

BITS AND BYTES

115° Here is a note about the 288 L£PU used in the T/S 1008. The original 288 had 8 pull-up resistors, R38 - R42 going to pins 7,8,9,180,12,13,14,15. All were 16K. Someone thought it needed them. But the 288A and 28@B do not and they can cause trouble. The suggestion is to get rid of them. The Zilog manual makes no mention of any being required.

116 A tip from G4NwB through SARUG in Great Britain was written for the Spectrum but will probably apply to the T/S 2868 too. While transmitting RRTY on a TS438 it was noticed that the mic gain control was getting very hot. It turned out that there is an intergrated mic amplifier immediately after the gain control and it was getting cooked. The problem was solved by inserting a 2.7 K ohm resistor in the live side of the input lead from the Spectrum and 5@ ohms in the ground connection. That is, both resistors in the lead from the Spectrum mic socket to the mic input Plug on the rig. The output from the Spectrum can peak to 3 volts although the rig is only expecting a few millivolts at the microphone input. Other rigs may have similar circuitry so it might be well for users to look at thein circuit diagram before transmitting. These remarks probably apply equally to CW or SSTV too.

117°-AsbuUg in the ROM of the T/S 2868 Causes the INTEGER function for (- 65536) to give the incorrect result of ~1. For other cases where the result should be -65536, it gives -1E-38. Because the bug is in the ROM, there is no correction.

118° Monitor tips for the QL. The NEC Multisync works well and has magnificent = color (also very expensive). The MGA Mitsubishi TV/RGB moni tor works without any sync problems. It does have overscan on the F! mode but works ok on the F2 (TV) mode.

119 The break key on the T/S 2068 does not always work when a program goofs up. Sometimes, if you put any audio into the cassett port and then hit the break key, the K cursor will appear.
