Re: A TS1500 Resurrection.

As for the voltages readings off the TS1500; +5V on a C11 + side = 5.06V; -5V between D9 & R23 = -5.17V; +12 :arrow: (to be determined of its test point) = 12.36V.

I will post a few pictures of o' scope's screens here little later tonight.

Video amp on Veroboard.

Hi somebody, I created a little cute Veroboard/stripboard project drawing based on 1024MAK's excellent ZX81 Video Transistor Buffer Amplifier circuit design. On my drawing, the outside "square" is a metal gutted-out video modulator. And the inside "square" is the Veroboard/stripboard. Cheers :D :lol...

TS1500 ULA on DIP 40

Hi everybody,

We know that a TS1500 customized ULA is a SMD "square" 68. ZX81 ULA and TS1000 ULA are DIP 40.

Re: TS1000 TV connection problem (might be ULA issue)

Hi ts1000user,

Do you have an oscilloscope? If so, you can check an ULA's back porch "wave" with a probe into a video output jack or on a "middle" wire before a video modulator or on a D9's anode.

10us 2v AC TVH

Hopefully, this will help you out,

Re: A TS1500 Resurrection.

Hi 1024MAK (Mark), I want to install slightly more modern DRAM chips or SRAM chip which doesn't request -5V and +12V. I'm submitting a few photos here. DSC00247.JPG DSC00248.JPG Notice that I took parts off, which is producing these -5V and +12V, the board. DSC00249.JPG DSC00250.JPG I also will type...

A TS1500 Resurrection.

A TS1500 Resurrection. Step by step appreciated. Hi everyone, I have 2 (two) TS1500. One board have had the 8 (eight) 4116 DRAMs desoldered, removed and -5VDC and +12VDC circuit section removed from the board. And another board have these DRAMS and its related circuit section still intact. Both TS15...

Re: ZXmore - questions and answers (FAQ)

Pokémon, I finished reading the recent ZXmore - info & updates posts. Real interesting! However, I have a few questions for you. What is a different between the ZXmore (V1.1) and the ZXmore (V1.2)? Do we need to do any additional works underside the V1.2's board? Can we just transfer these ICs off t...

Re: 21th ZX-TEAM-Meeting in Germany

The German ZX-Team shared these 4 files with us. So I, as an American, decided to Google-translate my message into German on this website! :lol:

Ich bin sehr dankbar, dass das deutsche ZX-Team beschlossen hat, diese 4 Dateien auf diese englischsprachige Website hochzuladen!

Danks,
