Data i/o 29b

[xcelite]

Went to a amatuer radio fleamarket sunday and found a 29b with the 2b logic pak for $25 bucks. Sweet deal If i dont say so my self. Ive been on the hunt for the last couple years, I always lost ebay auctions for them. So go figure that it did'nt work when I got it home, when i turned it on i got random characters and no self test. I tested the data bus on the micro and it seemed to function. So for the hell of it I decided to check the scratch ram (2114p-25) and one of them was shot so i replaced all 4 anyway. Now it works

Nice fix dude. And getting a Data IO for $25 is superb!

If you need the software then you can grab it from here - http://www.arcades.plus.com/Files/Promlink_610xp.zip . Mike/Macro did a nice job making it work under XP and you should have a look at the rest of his site too: http://www.arcades.plus.com . And if you have a 64 bit OS then there's an article in PlanB on how to use the Data IO on x64, VMWare and a machine without a physical serial port.
