Re: 1541 Repair Newtronics/Mitsumi RW head.

Hi Foskin, That golden color tar you speak of I think is referred to as "smokers glaze"... Shango066 has a YouTube channel and he coined that phrase... By the way I would be very interested in sending you a dead 1541 Newtronics/Mitsumi from a long body disk drive. Alternatively you can put...

Re: How do I stop this code splitting the tiles up into 2 blocks?

Hi the777, That's great news about going forward with your project. Glad to hear it. On the other matter of spaces between the two characters.. Petscii graphics have a character that will do a back space. From memory, it's created by opening a quotation mark then hitting the backspace key then closi...

Re: How do I stop this code splitting the tiles up into 2 blocks?

Hi the777, I have been thinking on this subject. I couldn't quite get your code to work correctly. I think what I did is correct, loaded the machine code program then "newed" the computer. Then I ran the BASIC portion of the code. I got a checker board pattern at the bottom of the screen. ...

Re: 1541 Repair Newtronics/Mitsumi RW head.

Hi Foskin, Thank you for your link to the Newtronics/Mitsumi NOS heads. Seriously, I would like to buy a coil off you. Would something like selling it on eBay be amenable to you. Just name your price, make it worth your while. I am definitely interested in buying the coil. Put it this way I can be y...

Re: 1541 Repair Newtronics/Mitsumi RW head.

Hi Foskin, WOW. Amazing detailed description. I've looked around the internet on this topic. You have by far the most comprehensive writeup on this topic! Big question will you sell me one of your reconstructed heads. Do you have a shop website?? I have a failed R/W head here I could send you for re...

Hi the777,

I've been looking at your screenshot of the program.

I noticed these characters, are these also unexpected characters too?

Re: How do I stop this code splitting the tiles up into 2 blocks?

Hi the777, I would be skeptical about SkynetGPT,. Someone over on the Dronebot forums site tried to cascade some shift register IC chips with AI help. It got the pinout configuration wrong. https://forum.dronebotworkshop.com/electronic-components/daisy-chaining-14-pin-shift-registers/ I'll try just ...

Re: How do I stop this code splitting the tiles up into 2 blocks?

Hi the777,


Have you declared the variables at the beginning of project.

https://en.m.wikibooks.org/wiki/BASIC_P ... Data_Types

Have you tried declaring your variables as whole number intergers?
