... OMG, I've got to get one of these. Looks infinitely better/easier than setting myself up with a Catweasel (which I still might do, but...) Best Regards, ...

Hey Al, Â They are very hard to find, you should be able to build one with the information supplied on the webpage. Â Â Also, Â Every now and then a guy...
I bought one from the guy on eBay too, but it sadly no longer works. I stupidly plugged the card edge adapter into the SVD upside down. Wires glowed brightly...
Hi Pete, I've accidently plugged mine in the wrong way a number of times (my cable is not keyed). Lights stayed on when they shouldn't but it never damaged...
So, can someone give me a totally objective opinion on using a Catweasel vs. using an SVD, or are there other alternatives? My primary objectives are: 1)...
I can't give you a totally objective opinon as I haven't used Catweasel. I did find the SVD pretty hassel-free though, and it would certainly meet your...
... I haven't used both, but I can comment a little on the difference. I have a Catweasel. If you care about reading/writing disk formats for a wider range of...
Ya, the versitility of the Catweasel for me is why I like it. I can read a disk using modern hardware and do 100 retries if needed to recover an old disk....
Yes, it's often horses for courses with these things. Originally I considered Catweasle for the disk transfer problem I had. After discovering the SVD, there...
I have a catweasel and it has no issue with single density disks. It also writes mixed formats correctly, were the first n sectors (or maybe the first...
Assuming it fits my budget (I am cheap...) and it could work in a real Model III cabinet (Maybe a model IV) I would be VERY interested. I already have a...
Does anyone out there recall seeing hardware to interface Atari-style paddle controllers to a Model I or Model III? How about games that used paddle...
I have one of these.? It plugs into the expansion port. http://vintagecomputer.net/tandy/trs80_1/ESF_system/atari-joystick_stick80-mod.jpg Bill ... From:...
... I don't think I've ever seen any analogue controller interface done on the TRS-80 Model I/III/4. Accordingly, I've never come across any TRS-80 software...
Hi I put an analogue interface on my old Video Genie so I could use paddles or an analogue joystick. I used it to draw in hires with my own software. But it...
And how does the SVD compare speed-wise to the original floppy? My tests with an SVD showed it was slower than the standard floppy on a TI-99 system, which...
... I'm not up on all the Catweasel drivers because I haven't used mine enough to fully understand, but the issue as I understand it is Win 2000/XP/Vista...
How about doing something with the Atari 2600 "Indy 500" controllers? they looked like the paddles, but only 1 per connector, and they spun continuously....
Does anyone know what the signals coming from the "Indy 500" paddles look like? I'm guessing they just close the joystick "right" and "left" switches when you...
Hi Ben, Â It seems somewhat slower, ... From: Ben Yates <ti99_forever@...> Subject: [TRS-80] Re: Catweasel vs. SVD vs. ??? To: TRS-80@yahoogroups.com ...
... Yes, in a device driver, which is what I was getting at. However, one would require a working knowledge of the catweasel hardware, and existing ...
Ah, never mind... I found a video of the Indy 500 game and it brought back memories of playing that exact game, when it was new, on the Atari 2600 in the local...
Hmmm... sorry for the spam, but further research indicates that the "Indy 500" controllers were quadrature encoded devices. That is, they didn't use the...
... Yes, PCI board (well, the Mark IV that is the current version), but it is also a pass through device for the system's floppy controller. I don't know if...
