Re: TI-99/4A Help Please

What was the quill issue - cannot see you left details about that. It was something discussed off list some time ago Whatever settings I seem to choose (both R-P & Quill Print Driver) the footer always gets pushed to the top of the next page (both in PDF and printer) What I've also noticed is t...

Re: TI-99/4A Help Please

Just to close these off As the TI-99/4a seems to need the bit_depth set to 7 I'm not going to use it with the Retro-Printer as I have the PrintToPDF option on the TIPI and don't want to have to switch bit_depth when changing the attached machine (The QL prints programs perfectly and as I won't be us...

Re: Commodore C64 Home Computer

Have mostly got this working now, just need to try something a bit more testing than “HELLO WORLD”

Basically I just removed the power jumpers, other than 18, and now I get the text without any garbage

Many thanks

Re: TI-99/4A Help Please

I tried the handshaking settings without any success so far I'm going to step back from the TI-99/4a for now (as the TIPI printing to PDF works ok on that) and concentrate on the C64 Will come back to it when I have the C64 hopefully working (and QL Quill header issue resolved) Am trying to do too m...

Re: TI-99/4A Help Please

That txt file does not have HELLO WORLD in it that I could see - could you upload the raw file from the retro-printer rather than a mac version? Is it sending the text as some sort of image ? All I can see are hundreds of "J" and DEL characters in Notepad++ all on the same line. Or maybe ...

Re: TI-99/4A Help Please

I assume the expansion card adds a centronics interface. Add a captured raw file and we can maybe help - it might be that you need it to set bit_depth to 7 Yes, it has 2 x Serial and 1 x Centronics Changing the bit_depth to 7 kind of helped in that I can see some of my text ("HELLO WORLD"...

Re: Commodore C64 Home Computer

Hi. Does anyone have the v4 working with a C64 & Connexions interface (User Port -> Centronics) please? As soon as I hook everything up, even with the C64 turned off, the RP starts generating PDF's full of garbage output The 3 power jumper pins are currently all enabled, should I be trying with ...
