Cassette SAVE and LOAD, pt 1

So basically, MC-10 can load from Mac, but can't save cassette/audio output to Mac yet. XRoar is converting file formats for me.

MC-10 cassette audio cable looking very much in prototype stage.

Half working audio cable still in development.

Printer Day!

TODAY WAS PRINTER DAY! I HOOKED THE MC-10 UP TO AN APPLE IMAGEWRITER. I HAD TO LUBE UP THE PRINTER AND PUT SOME RUBBING ALCOHOL INTO THE RIBBON TO GET IT WORKING. THE MC-10 IS NOT A GOOD MATCH FOR THIS PRINTER. THE MC-10 OUTPUTS AT 600 BAUD AND THE IMAGEWRITER DOES NOT HAVE A SETTING FOR THAT. BUT THE MC-10 SPEED IS ADJUSTABLE IN MEMORY, THOUGH NOT PUBLISHED. I MADE A BASIC PROGRAM TO INCREMENT THE BIT DELAY UNTIL IT PRINTED AT 300 BAUD. THEN I HAD TO SET LF ON CR ON THE PRINTER SO IT WOULD ADVANCE LINES. YOU CAN SEE IN THE VIDEO THAT THE OLD PRINTER ROLLER DOES NOT GRIP THE PAPER WELL, SO I HAVE TO HELP IT ALONG A BIT. I AM VERY HAPPY WITH MY PROGRESS FOR TODAY!
