Hi It's my first message here; I'm not a VZ-200/300 user, but my question is related to the disk images used by the VZ emulators. I've bought a VTL Laser 700....
Hi Jaime For the vz200 we dumped the contents of an 80k disk into memory in 5 16k chunks. This was done by writing a small assembly routine to do sector reads...

Hi Thank you very much for your reply. Since I don't have a deep assembler knowledge and no technical manual for the Laser 700, I'll try first another option:...
Hi All, I recently acquired a VZ300, however I didn't get any joysticks with it. As I would like to play with the games on the original hardware (as near as...
Hi Mike I opened one up and found U1 - 74LS09, U2 - 74LS138, U3 - 74LS367. I found the hard parts to obtain when building interfaces was the connectors, but I...
And again Mike, I did have a quite a few joysticks but dunno what I have left. If you are interested in purchasing I could have a look. Regards Barry ... with ...
Bugger! Got VZ300 joystick in front of me pulled apart, and got no circuit diagram to work out which IC is which (1, 2 or 3) Rough location follows. If can...
Just like to say thanks for the info guys. It shouldn't be too difficult to knock something up if like you say, I'm able to find the appropriate connector. Do...
... DSE used to sell the edge connectors, but of course no longer doth. Neither does Jaycar. Looking in 2004-2005 RS components cattledog, page 201 appears...
Thanks for the prompt response Dave. I take it from the details you've given that the connector is double sided and has a 0.156" pitch. (Compared with the PC...
... yep, *re-checking*, the first one I yabbered about is 0.156 inch (is coloured blue as those in the VZ joystick and printer interfaces), whilst the second...
Hi Mike, I actually live in Darwin, so even though it is Aus the postal charges tend to be a little higher then elsewhere. It appears the only spare joysticks...
OK, now I'm confused. :^) The part numbers you've given me Barry (Joystick is 395-030-558-202, memory etc is 395-044-558-202.) are for a 0.1" pitch connectors,...
Hi guys, The connectors are both 0.1" pitch. Just measured 'em. 0.156" will definately not work! The small one is 30 conductors (15 per side) and the large one...
Hi Dave! I'm amazed someone remembered me ;-) I've been lurking around, too busy with various work and play projects to really get involved in VZ stuff for a...
Hi Mike, Don't be confused, Dave's probably been "muckin around the back" of his VZ again and changed the pitch of the connectors. He's changed just about...
Hi again Mike, Looks like I'm getting forgetful like Dave. I omitted to mention that those parts have integral mounting lugs on the side and I'm pretty sure I...
Bob Kitch has just emailled me with a request to go to the list for his sale of his VZ gear, magazines, newsletters, etc, etc. ... Hi Jason I have finally...
