There is no way to tell 9700 that it has up/down converter, so it would show "real" qo-100 frequencies?
@RTSRetroTechShed2 ай бұрын
No, the 9700 doesn't support transverter frequency display unfortunately 0 that would be a nice feature

This is a great demonstration of what can be made to happen. Ive been trying to accomplish almost the exact same thing, unfortunately every how to or walk through seems to have been started on either a MAC or a windows PC using WSL and I dont have access to a MAC and even trying it on WSL has failed in really weird ways. If you have a walk through or step by step on how you got it working I would really love a a link to it, giving you all the credit!

Thanks. I'm afraid I don't have a walkthough video, but if you install the Alpaca software, it should pretty much work without too much additional effort.

Can you share the STL file for the 3D printed case you created?
@RTSRetroTechShed4 ай бұрын
The case is from an Amiga 500, but the backplates were 3D printed. I just found them on eBay. If you watch some of the later videos, you will see a neater approach using a MiSTress 500 IO board from 8Bits Forever.

Dope man, I was looking for an exact video like this. I am debating getting a Mister and also will put mine in an Amiga 1200 style wedge case too, aka Leesmithworkshop's 3d printable Mister wedge computer case. Thanks so much for this cause most people into Mister are really into just arcade and console games etc.

Getting one of these shortly. Have bad memories of discs not reading when I last tried to rip them to adf using a null modem cable and my old (now gone) amiga. This flux/scp copy might save a few of them hopefully! They were old songs I did on Octamed, and although I have audio rips of them, the chance revisit them in an emulator is very exciting (for me anyway! 😂) Great video and pitched for the enthusiast and not the total tech heads!

That’s awesome thanks for making the video. How was the installation process? Is 7B the largest number of parameters for the ram on board? I’m planning on making a little joke machine that uploads the jokes to a firebase db from the latest llama 7B parameter. Any advice? Thank you again!
@RTSRetroTechShed6 ай бұрын
Thanks :). Installation is very straightforward. Alpaca 7B Q4 is about the limit for a Raspberry PI5 i'd say. As for the joke machine, you could just install alpaca.cpp - then run chat with a -p option and pipe the output to a file, e.g. chat -p "tell me a joke" >>jokes.txt - then import the jokes.txt file to the DB.

Could you suggest an antenna for doing FT8 from a car?
@RTSRetroTechShed7 ай бұрын
Hi. It's hard to say without knowing what car you have, but I'm assuming you can get a mount installed - on the gutter, boot or other. It depends which bands you want to work, but a mono-band will typically be more efficient. Diamond do a range of mono-band whips that might do the job, search for Diamond HF Whip (for 20M, the model is HF20FX). Hope that helps :)

I like the Icom 705. It is expensive that is the reason some people wont buy it. But everything is expensive. I’m saving up for the 705 and many of the options. I’m a new ham operator. Ive never used HF. I just have a Yeasu FT2D. It would be nice if you should how you connect up to solar. I saw a different bag that someone made that has a harness and has switches and plugs on it and you slide in the 705 into the unit. It’s nice but it does not have enough storage except a front pocket for a few cables and your mic. I wish the guy would make it with more storage then It would be perfect. Good video.

Man, help me please, i lost 2 days, and still can't understand or found how change names of disks or adding discks C (On HDD, format .HDS), a, and b = floppy inside DOS or SX-Window... In this theme with one man on this forum we are get to sucesfully a lot, but this still no... This man helped to me with this script for AUTOEXEC.BAT, but where now AUTOEXEC.BAT, after your video-tutorial can't found... 🙁 This command need use in AUTOEXEC.BAT: CD BIN DRIVE A: C: PATH C:\;C:\SYS;C:\BIN;C:\BASIC2;C:\ETC; CD .. DRIVE A: B: Or in DOS, but i do not know, how save changes in DOS, by which command? Always after reset machine, settings again reload on base vslues, meanings... On this forum, i also asked this, but maybe this man not know... nfggames.com/forum2/index.php?topic=7261.40 Maybe you are know? AUTOEXEC.BAT now transforming in something or removed or where this now? Or which file runs now if not AUTOEXEC.BAT? Or how changing names of Disks and do 3 Discks( HDD C), A ( 0 ) and B ( 1 ) - floppy disks, this is possible in SX- Window? P.S.: After spend additional time, i founds AUTOEXEC.BAT - on Floppy BLANK_disk_X68000.d88, first what i was do copied this faile from d88 to HDD (.HDS ) in SX-Window in main root(By using Disk Explorer), and ofcourse i typed ths command(By using Notepad++ on PC): CD BIN DRIVE A: C: PATH C:\;C:\SYS;C:\BIN;C:\BASIC2;C:\ETC; CD .. DRIVE A: B: But! Nothing happens to me, still A ( HDD), and B free slot for only 1 floppy disk... :(

if someone had an actual imsai 8080 is this something they could run? I own one and although I'm still working on it I hope to get it running soon and maybe run something like this.
@RTSRetroTechShed9 ай бұрын
On an IMSAI 8080, or other CP/M machine, you can run Kermit (assuming you have a serial connection, ideally connected to a WiFi modem) to connect to the Wargames services running on a Linux machine. Alternatively, you can run the BASIC code included with the project, although you may have to strip out some elements of the code to get it to fit within the TPA, depending on your SYSGEN boot image. You could start by dropping the tic-tac-toe game from the BASIC code if you don't need it.
