Many years indeed. I spent way too much of the '80s running masm on my jr with my nose buried in Peter Norton's guide to interrupts etc ...

That case was made by a Canadian guy who sells them on eBay. Good quality and you can choose the color ... but they are not cheap. Yes, all of those points seem accurate from the looks of it. Nice-looking box, but more expensive than I was hoping. Maybe I'll see what I can bang out in Fusion 360 (t...

a nice 3D printed case Is there a link for that? I have a C128-DAC and Gonbes board, and it's been on my to-do list to retweak my Fusion 360 skills and design/print a simple case for them. But it would be tempting just to buy this one. (Or better yet, if the design file for it is open source, get t...

Here's the one I bought: https://www.ebay.com/itm/123552344481?ViewItem=&item=123552344481 It works great and is powering a parallel sidecar and a jrIDE board. Thanks, that looks like a good option. I'd still be interested to hear from anyone here if you think that I actually need, or would ben...

Actually, to modify that question: I see in AkBKukU's external video on his adapter, he cautions that these power supplies may not sufficiently power sidecars, depending on how many you have. Right now I have a 128K PCjr with single floppy drive, one parallel sidecar for a backpack 3.5" drive, ...

Could anyone post a link for the exact model of ATX/PicoPSU supply that works with this adapter and the PCjr?

I just ordered a PE3-10BT, but without a power adapter, so I need to order one. You must have seen the same eBay listings I did, for a number of the Xircoms all of which lacked power adapters. I ordered one too. I can’t answer the question, but just planned to go through my drawer of wall warts and...

Thanks! Looks good

The intel.com link on this page for Xircom PE3 files doesn't seem to work: https://www.brutman.com/Dos_Networking/xircom_pe3.html Can anyone suggest a trustable source for the Xircom PE3 driver and utilities? Web searches turn up possible sources, but the ones I've found so far are on domains I've n...

That's a trap! Now that you mention it, I immediately see why -- no diagram required. Thinking maybe this would work: https://www.amazon.com/CablesOnline-40-Pin-Gender-Changer-FI-G02/dp/B00G0174IO/ Pins aren't as exposed, but I think/hope the DOMs and ribbon cable connectors won't have any issues g...
