I also bought one on ebay a while ago and it’s also lacking a disk controller. Is it a complicated board? I for sure would be interested in a repro, but I guess the effort is quite large and the amount of micro expansion systems available very limited. Having said that, if anyone has a matching board willing to part with I’d be interested 😀 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the Tenex catalogue I have, the unit could be bought with just the RS-232 and upgraded with 32k, disk controller, or both. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+acadiel Posted October 31, 2022 Share Posted October 31, 2022 Yep, I’m still working on the repro. Have been having family medical issues, so it’s been very slow going the past six to eight months. I bought an additional MPES on eBay for $100 without the disk controller to use as a Guinea pig. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I find funny about the cartridge situation is that there was somebody at the Chicago Faire this weekend offering to GIVE boxed copies of about 25 mostly NOS titles away, and was only able to find homes for a few of them. . . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tuxon86 Posted November 3, 2022 Share Posted November 3, 2022 My NOS Peb has been delivered. I'd love to see the face of one of those porch thieves who'd try to steal that box and run away with it 🙂 In other news, I just bought a NOS Assembler/Editor kit. I still need a floppy controller and cable. I have a spare 360k 5¼ Panasonic JU-475 which in theory should work according to the www, but I'm not sure. I think arcadeshopper sells some controllers with the option to have it modified to 80,80,40 or other configuration, so maybe by the start of December I'll place an order. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe I could find someone to throw it over the line from the US side 🙂 joking aside, I didn’t see the .us at the end of the url. I tried changing it to .ca and now shipping is $13.59. I ordered one. Now I’ll be able to shop for the rest of the parts to build a PEB tipi. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duewester Posted November 4, 2022 Share Posted November 4, 2022 Keep rpilocator.com in your favorites if you're looking for Pi's. And every Wednesday about 11:30am est, Adafruit puts their new stock in the store. Make sure you have a verified account before trying to order.

pixelpedant Posted November 4, 2022 Share Posted November 4, 2022 Some huge bookseller on Ebay keeps on trying to sell an introduction to CC-40 BASIC which is freely available online (and rather uninteresting, on the whole) for over $200, and I have to wonder what kind of madcap formula or spreadsheet is coming up with this nonsense. I guess probably just a typical case of "this is uncommon" failing to be correctly counterbalanced by "yes, but nobody actually wants or needs it". 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Atari 1020 gears from Best Electronics or metal ones that are available will need to be installed. Also, they have built in NiCd batteries that might have leaked by now. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like $23.36. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
