I just purchased a Northstar Horizon system that should be arriving any day now. I think I have a pretty good idea of what I'll need to do in order to get it...
Do you have an update on this project? I do not have a working Northstar yet (in transit), but I know I'll be interested in this. I have a PIC programmer so I...

... Now that I've answered half the question I can answer the other half. Basic80 or Mbasic does not get "ported", as it relied on the OS for all the external...
OK, that makes sense. Shouldn't be a problem then. I think Dave's simulator and utilties are all I need to get working n* and cp/m disks onto real media. I...
Hi! Chuck Guzis was working on this project and I was helping him test it with my machine. I have a built prototype PIC interface which seemed to work. ...
Hi List, I saw some posts come through after a long while. Good to see it also. I think I've asked in the past, but does anyone have a Dimension on this list?...
Hi Chris, I have two Dimensions sitting in my garage in original boxes. I'd be willing to trade for them. I live in Ohio. Please let me know if you are...
what are you looking for? I don't have other NS equipment. I'm guessing it's unlikely, but not impossible, I have anything you're looking for, given my...
Hi, No criticism of you effort intended, but I am working on a semi-automatic punch. If it works to my satisfaction by then, I'll have it with me at VCF East ...
Thanks Bill! Are you offering your punch as a kit or for sale? I think it would be very handy for those of us with old hard sector minidisk computers like...
No, this is a one-off. The operation will be simple and fast though... Step 0: Insert soft sectored disk and center/clamp. Step 1: Align soft-sector index...
I just acquired a really nice N* horizon with 64k ram. Had to make a small repair when a tantalum capacitor exploded. However, I replaced it, and I am ready...

Thank you very much for the offer, Steve. Someone else on another forum sent me their NDOS master disk about a week ago. My system booted fine, and I now...
Andrew, What is the status with CWNS? I cannot seem to find any discussion later than Fall 2007. Did you ever get it to the point of reliably imaging and...

I had written a while back looking for a processor card. I got one from Bill S (I think he may be a member of this group?) Anyway, here is a project update....
That is not correct. The boot address for an mds-ad3 is e800. I use one in my SOL. 'ex e800' boots it. When you say "both drives spin", does either access...

Thanks Bill and all who responded.? I will verify the code at E800.? I agree that there must be a drive address conflict.? So far I tried each drive by...
