Re: No Sound

Just to "close the loop" on this one - the audio out socket wasn't actually connected to the internal cable at all (oddly the audio part of the cable had been taped back to the rest of the cable, seemingly deliberately avoiding the correct connection). Soldering it back on restored my audi...

Re: Expansion Board Identification

Thanks Dave, that worked! A PEEK of 64122 shows the expected 1 so I appear to have a fully working 64k now :)

Expansion Board Identification

Hi guys, I've acquired an MTX500 which booted to a white screen when I first turned it on. It had an expansion card fitted (pictured below) - I removed this and the machine now boots fine. So - what is the board, a RAM expansion? And any ideas why it might cause such an issue? Should it have more ch...

No Sound?

Struggling (ok, massive failure) to get any audio from my MTX - I've tried both an RF lead, and a cobbled together collection of converters and leads (if somebody could provide a link to a supplier of the exact cable I need without this mess then I'd appreciate it) from the "Hi Fi" socket,...

Re: Do members like the colour scheme of the forum?

I prefer the two brighter skins but neither show view new/active posts buttons at the top of every page like the red and black one does. Obviously a minor issue in the grand scheme of things but it would be great to have a lighter skin which uses the same basic layout (which is fairly standard for t...

Sticky/Repeating Keys

All three of my MTXs have this problem - I've done a basic clean, and used the high tech solution of hammering away endlessly at the offending keys, both of which help a bit, but I still have the problem. Interestingly it's more apparent in BASIC mode than CP/M.

How do I fix it properly please?!?

Case/Extension Cable?

I have limited desk space, plus I just don't like seeing a naked board hanging off my lovely MTX (!) - is it possible to use a cable to connect the REMEMOrizer by any chance? Once that's done a proper case solution becomes more practical too...

Re: Can't change to MTX Basic

Great guess Mark! Composite output from MTX plugged into tuner input on the telly. Oops.
