Re: Unicard - is it possible to get it?

Thanks. I found some similar connectors on Aliexpress and have ordered. I shall see when they arrive if they fit or not.

Re: Unicard - is it possible to get it?

I see. Are you using the same connectors for both ends? (It looks like that on your picture).
Do you have a part number or a source for these connectors?

Hello. Do you have part numbers for the connectors you use on the backplane?

Re: Unicard - is it possible to get it?

So, is the schematic for the bus converter available?
Or the difference between the bus on the MZ-700 and the MZ-800?

Re: Unicard - is it possible to get it?

is the schematic and / or PCB layout for the mk3c version available for us MZ-7xx owners?
Some of us might be able to make the hardware for ourselves, since it looks like he original creators are out of time (for now at least).

Re: MZ-80B project (Floppy Disk I/O Card cloning!)

Unfortunately, I don't have a better manual, or a MZ-80b / floppy controller card.
Are you trying to redraw the schematic and do a new PCB layout?

Re: MZ-SD2CMT - correct wiring?

I have tested now, with pin2 on the Mega 2560 connected instead of pin 3. And now it works - I can load 1Z-013B.mzf (BASIC) and other files from the mz-sd2cmt. Nice!

Now I just need to figure out which of those .mzf files can be loaded from the monitor and which needs to be loaded from BASIC.

Oops, I forgot - I've replaced C2 already. PSU is good as new now :-)

Got SCART cables in the mail today, and ordered some DIN 45322 connectors on eBay. So in a (hopefully) short while I will be able to test my SCART to HDMI converter.
