+remowilliams Posted November 21, 2009 Share Posted November 21, 2009 I'm doing the shipment in batches - 15 at once, with day or two of okay, postal confirmations are dated as follow: Have all the units shipped yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
candle Posted November 21, 2009 Author Share Posted November 21, 2009 not yet some did not send me the shipping address as i've asked for in this thread, others wait because my gal programmer is dead, and i'm waiting for replacement one - that would be those who ordered simplestereo boards here is a short list: Stephen Anderson flashman Larry pjbramley IndusGT jvas StaxX28 Sniegowy tjb promethea remowilliams sl0re trub DamageX Thorsten Gunther serg89 ataridano jer rdemming Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

candle Posted November 21, 2009 Author Share Posted November 21, 2009 Sorry that i didn't informed you ealier - the same goes to Stephen Anderson - i should pm you as for the gal programmer, i know it was shipped out from China, so if all gets well, it should be here before end of this month apart from the gal chip those boards are assembled Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rybags Posted November 21, 2009 Share Posted November 21, 2009 I tried the Slideshow ATR (the big 16 meg one). It just loads the short executable file from DOS then hangs there doing nothing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
candle Posted November 21, 2009 Author Share Posted November 21, 2009 Gary, bothered to download newest vbxe pack? this is a must have for all vbxe users, and it will be always under this url don't use outdated software, as it might be for another vbxe core Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rybags Posted November 21, 2009 Share Posted November 21, 2009 Just tried VBXE\Examples\FX\Candle\scroll\SCROLL.COM from DOS 2.5 Loads, then shows the message: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
candle Posted November 21, 2009 Author Share Posted November 21, 2009 then you didn't wire the D6xx connection Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rybags Posted November 21, 2009 Share Posted November 21, 2009 Just realised something... Should EXTSEL be connected to that resistor, or to Pin 5 of the IC (in the 800XL pic). I've got it on the IC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
candle Posted November 21, 2009 Author Share Posted November 21, 2009 extsel should be connected to whenever you can find extsel signal vbxe is detected by fx core registers, and they are mapped on d6 or d7 page so only connection from '138 chip to vbxe is required to get it detected Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rybags Posted November 21, 2009 Share Posted November 21, 2009 (edited) Well where would that be? I don't know the innards of this thing that well. In your pic, it's not totally apparent if it's the R16 or the IC above it. Edited November 21, 2009 by Rybags Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rybags Posted November 21, 2009 Share Posted November 21, 2009 D6xx is connected fine. Continuity tested fine. D6xx is as per diagram... last pin on the top row of the U2 IC, second below the cart connector. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
candle Posted November 21, 2009 Author Share Posted November 21, 2009 extsel is on pin #1 of PBI connector thats for sure - you could use DMM set to a continuity test to check this D6xx is on pin #9 of 74xx138 chip (LS, or HCT or any other variation), D7xx is on pin #7 of that chip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
candle Posted November 21, 2009 Author Share Posted November 21, 2009 send me full resolution picture of your vbxe setup - it will be simplier that way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rybags Posted November 21, 2009 Share Posted November 21, 2009 Well, D6xx is fine... continuity tested from the back of the motherboard to the header on the VBXE. Back to EXTSEL... is the connection in the picture to the resistor or the IC above it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
candle Posted November 21, 2009 Author Share Posted November 21, 2009 no Gary, back to d6xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rybags Posted November 21, 2009 Share Posted November 21, 2009 Full install without video con.zip Big pic... in a zip so it doesn't slow everyone's page load down. I took the video connections out to make it easier to see stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rybags Posted November 21, 2009 Share Posted November 21, 2009 OK... D6xx connected to VBXE as you've pointed out. Now about EXTSEL??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
candle Posted November 21, 2009 Author Share Posted November 21, 2009 everything else seems ok just use fc.com to test communication it should detect the hardware and show you what cores are loaded Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rybags Posted November 21, 2009 Share Posted November 21, 2009 OK, but what about EXTSEL... I'd just like to clarify whether I have to move it so I can close up the machine... does it goto the resistor? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
candle Posted November 21, 2009 Author Share Posted November 21, 2009 (edited) yes, it goes to the resistor [edit] ps. i would beat up you with a ruler for that wireing, and electron will fade if he will see how you did it Edited November 21, 2009 by candle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rybags Posted November 21, 2009 Share Posted November 21, 2009 We seem to be good now... big thanks candle. FC.COM found it and listed info. Now running the Slideshow ATR, first 2 pics loaded and displayed fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
