    My mistake: I'd forgotten that our hero @alexGS had discovered the Reboot card mistake a couple of years ago.
  2. evank
    They're long gone, but a Chinese seller was selling the DM's Reboot. I have no idea if DM allowed this or if the cards were just crappy knock-offs. I'm not going to ask DM himself, because I just don't like him personally. I think the Blocko price is fair. "It's good to be the king." - Mel Brooks

    I think that's correct. A few years ago, a Chinese ebay seller was offering those cards. I bought one and it didn't work. My friend Scott bought one too and reached the same determination as you: the data pins are wrong. He made a twisted cable and sent it to me. Now it works fine. The best aftermarket 9767 card is Blocko. Anybody who wants an original Lego card should ask me; I've got some to spare.

    @maehw your understanding is correct. Can you show us your full code?

    I can hook you up. I'll send you a private message. I already updated it to include Compis ... several months ago. :) https://www.brickhacks.com/2.php One of these days I'll get around to uploading a table of all known-working systems with 9750 and their various nuances. I already made the table, just need to do some work on my website. It's waaaaaaay overdue.

    I could swear I saw it in an A manual once, which made no sense at all. I don't have time to go look right now.

    I always LOL'd at that communication string, but what baffles me is why it's mentioned in an Interface A manual! I can't recall which one right now.
  8. evank
    What does this have to do with the discussion topic?
  9. evank
    Tested?

    1. Yes, I administer the "Vintage Lego Robotics" folder on Archive.org. So anybody who uploads relevant documentation or software should tag that folder. (I have a lot more to add! I recently acquired many teacher's manuals/books for Control Lab. I'm in NJ, USA but a friend in Sydney, Australia is going to scan it all for me.) 2. My primary interest in Interface A, not B. Most of what I learned in those conversations (Chris Rogers is one person I talked to, but there were others) is documented on the History page of my website, www.brickhacks.com: https://www.brickhacks.com/0.php ... The entire site is overdue for an update because I have a lot more information to add. It's just a challenge of finding the time. I spend most of my free time actually building models to control with Interface A. (Interface B is for wimps < ducks >)

    It would be awesome to have a single Apple II card that can control multiple Interface A devices! Then I can get back some functionality that I've had to remove from my development machine, so that I had enough 9767 cards for my most complicated projects.

    I have nothing to add, other than Comal is also included in the German manual for the Lego - Commodore 64 cable.

    Fantastic!

    @AJB2K3 check your messages.

    It looks like you're using 9V motors but 9750 only outputs 4ish volts. What am I missing?
  17. evank
    LOL - Cray. Juuuuuuuuust a bit overkill. It would be cool to see 9750 interfaced to that pocket computer! :) @Gunners TekZone in case you haven't seen it already, here is a video I made about the current 9767 options:

    You're welcome. A few weeks ago I happened to see on Facebook Marketplace that someone a couple of hours from me was selling a massive haul of Dacta sets. He wanted a substantial sum. We negotiated a deal and I drove out there. I don't need most of the sets (so I'm trying to sell them: https://www.eurobricks.com/forum/forums/topic/212437-fs-several-early-dacta-sets/) ... mostly I was willing to lay out the money because his stash of rare Lego educational manuals was overwhelming.

    I recently acquired several Control Lab teacher's manuals that are not scanned anywhere. So I am rectifying this. :) It's going to take a couple of months. Michael Mulhern (known in the Apple II community) is going to do the scanning on our behalf. Then it goes here: https://archive.org/details/vintagelegorobotics

    Yes. https://archive.org/details/lego_c64_manual_basic_comal/mode/2up -- starting on page 5.

    Archive.org's browser emulation can not connect to physical hardware. I confirmed this with Jason Scott, who built the emulator.

    I rescued a large amount of Control Lab stuff last weekend. I was digging through it and found (surprise!) 5.25 Apple II LogoWriter Robotics. LOL I think it's hysterical to find that in the wild NOW after we all just got it a few months ago.
  24. evank
    I rescued a large amount of Control Lab sets last weekend. It included the Intelligent House disk (for Mac) so I'll see about archiving that one.
