Hallo Jim, > But, I was afraid such constant cycling of the MOTOR line > with a datasette present might cause it's own issues. - The older CBMs have two cassette ports with each their own motor line, so no problem here. - How many people use still their cassette recorder (CR)? Unplugging the RTC for those rare moments they use it shouldn't be a problem, IMHO. - But for those people which use it regurlary, make a RTC with an edge connector to plug the CR in and add a switch to disable the motor line for the time you don't need the CR. Disadvantage: more expensive. - Even a step further: make a pcb for inside the C=. First advantage: you can directly tap the motor signal at TTL level. And. if needed, let the owner add a switch to disable the motor line. This can be done by desoldering one pin of the transistor and wire the pin and the hole to a switch. Advantages: even less expensive (no connector(s) needed) and no removal needed during transport. One can even use a bigger (rechargeble) battery. -- ___ / __|__ / / |_/ Groetjes, Ruud \ \__|_\ \___| http://www.Baltissen.org De informatie in dit e-mailbericht is vertrouwelijk en uitsluitend bestemd voor de geadresseerde.
