Re: MZ-721 power supply repair

It's the same as mine. You have a choice: just remove it or replace it with an equivalent one. It is not necessary as it was just here as a filter which "cleans" the frequencies interferences especially with old CRTs around (so your neighbours may watch their TV set). Nowadays, it is almos...

Re: MZ-SD2CMT - correct wiring?

As a side note: the LCD seems to be too hungry, I need to plug USB power to provide enough current.

Re: MZ-SD2CMT - correct wiring?

Here is my video showing my MZ-SD²CMT loading BASIC 1Z-013B in ultra-fast mode. I navigate to 1Z-013B, press RIGHT button to activate ULTRA-FAST mode, then SELECT button to launch loading. After 14s, BASIC runs. https://youtu.be/KOKyJIB4FTE Some pictures show how wires are connected: IMG_20181209_23...

Huh? Where are you trying to load the monitor program in .mzf file? At which address? The monitor in ROM cannot load a program at a load address lesser than $1200: it is forbidden by the monitor.

EDIT: Ah yes! the 1Z-013B is the BASIC, nevermind !

Re: MZ-SD2CMT - correct wiring?

The source is working. The README.md is not updated. You need pin #3 because I use it to emit a one-shot pulse (PWM).

Re: [MZ-SD²CMT / MZ-CH376] Ideas for fast loader/saver program without the need of GUI on the SD device

For the entry order issue, there are some PC softwares which can reorder physically the entries in the alphabetical order. I don't know...

It seems that the price is not to high, and no changes needed to be done to the computer.
