Riparazione Commodore 64

Difetto:

• Problemi di accesso al Floppy Drive (IEC): il drive si resetta correttamente ma rimane fermo sul “searching for”

Componenti Sostituiti:

• Sostituito l’integrato EL7416 con un 7406PC (U8)

Note:

Ho anche rimosso un orrendo connettore saldato direttamente sulla userport del c64.

Commodore 64C che ha visto giorni migliori (Recupero Componenti)

Il case e’ rotto e il pcb della tastiera e’ completamente arruginito, il resto lo potete vedere dalle foto.

Recupererò quello che rimane, molto poco.

Cosa sono le DiagROM?

Le DiagROM sono delle ROM diagnostiche per gli Home Computer della serie Commodore Amiga. Queste ROM tornano molto utili in alcune sistuazioni, tipo quando il computer non esegue correttamente il boot o si blocca.

Changelog:

• A lot of internal changes.
• But changed keyboardhandling in “Manual Edit” mode, hopefully keyboard works better now.
• Chipmemdetect at startup does more tests to capture more biterrors.
• Also added tests if CPU can do odd/eveb reads and writes. Request by Terriblefire.
• Added a testpicture as GFX Test
• Added test for RTC Chip, reads both types you have to know what chip is in your machine.
• Added a experimental Autoconfig support for Zorro II boards and memory, Remember that you can only run this ONCE.
• Autoconfigcode is based on Terriblefires code with addons by me.
• Audiotest now includes several notes and waveforms and also a module.

Updatehistory:

• 2017-04-15: Added Support for OKI Chipset in RTC Test
  • Added (somewhat experimental) support for Autoconfig for Z2 boards.
  • Must say thanx to Terriblefire for autoconfig code. (with some changes by my)
  • Added test at startup to see if CPU can do odd/even byte read and writes
  • Bumped version to V0.9 – Next Stable release
  • Released while being at the Revision demoparty.
• 2017-02-25: Moved mainmenu alternatives to make space for more maintest-menus. also added some for future use.
  • Started on Others tests/RTC Test for the moment only showing ricoh RTC chip (A4k etc)
  • Removed temprary debugfunction added the 18:th.
• 2017-02-18: Minor changes. sometimes when exiting a testscreen you got to the mainmanu instead of the submenu. cleaned up now.
  • also added a fakefastmem allocation at the boot so you can run stuff in fakefast by pressing LBM at poweron if needed.
  • TEMPORARY DEBUGFUNCTION: while dumping serialport at beginnning, screen also flickers while doing a serial timeout.
  • this is to figure out if machine still runs to veryfy I can do serialstuff (and detect failures) if paula is missing.
  • will be removed soon as it screws up onscreen colorcodes.
• 2017-02-15: Added a testpicture, testscreen is moved in menu and will still bug. this will be reworked soon.
• 2017-02-04: Simple audiotest is now improved, it now plays different waveforms, I have checked the frequencys with my Rigol scope.
  • But 20.6Hz in my headphones sounds weird, maybe should remove it in the test. the only thing not working there now is setting volume.
• 2017-01-30: In Manual edit: added when using “goto memoryaddress” when pressing x it clears the string totally. Also hopefully fixed keyboardbug making
  • it more or less impossible to use keyboard on some machines.
  • Fixed bug showing strange flickering spritebugs random
  • Changed that in initial chipmemdetecting it checks more combinations of bits, this will make detect slower (due to serial output) but will detect more
  • biterrors.
  • TEMPORARY function: pressing fire/mousebutton in joystickport while poweron will totally disable serialoutput. this is to be able to run with broken
  • Paula. Will look into a better solution. so function will maybe be removed.
  • Added a testmodule, A groupmember will make a chipmodule for me later to have here. Now using the classic “Echoing”
• 2017-01-06: Long time since last update. Hollidays etc. Anyway some minor internal fixes and a basic low-res testscreen added.

CBMXfer è una GUI o front-end per i programmi CBM4WIN/CBMLink che funzionano solo a riga di comando. Con un sistema a finestre elimina la necessità di imparare la sintassi di ogni programma.

The commandline utilities are:

• OPENCBM – transfers files/images to/from a real CBM drive connected via an ‘X-cable’ on the parallel port.
• CBMLINK – transfers files/images to/from a real CBM drive connected to a real CBM computer connected to the PC via a serial cable.
• C1541 – a utility from VICE that works with CBM Image Files (ie: D64,D71,D81 files).
• NIBTOOLS – Utilities to transfer images via parallel port. Supports protected disks.
• IMGCOPY – Utility to image IEEE and 1581 disks.

What can I do with it?

• Transfer files to or from real CBM drives
• Create D64 and other images files from real CBM disks
• Write D64 and other files back to real CBM disks
• Transfer files from WITHIN Image Files
• View Commodore files (BASIC, SEQ, Binary, ML, Chr Sets, and Images). Supports all all machine types
• ML viewer is a full two-pass symbolic disassembler!
• Simple file operations like copy, delete, rename
• Launch VICE and attach disk images plus autorun
• Zoom Floppy supported.
• Supports 1581 partitions with OpenCBM
• Format disks
• Supports IEEE drives with Zoom Floppy
• Supports reading/writing/viewing P00 files.
