Seplowitz) Newsgroups: comp.sys.cbm Subject: C128 Housekeeping Message-ID: Date: 4 Feb 91 04:32:43 GMT Organization: Rutgers Univ., New Brunswick, N.J. Lines: 26 I'm rather paranoid about opening up computer hardware (I have a list of poor electronic things that suffered from my curiosity ...luckily the damage to my disk drive was very minor!). What I would like to do is clean the inside of my C128 (especially the keyboard). I've had the computer for over 5 years and never cleaned it once! Can anyone provide some instructions for doing this (make sure you include sensitive parts of the computer). In case you haven't seen it...I recently downloaded a program called "reticulate" for the 64. It is a demo program (milton.u.washington.edu: public/download/c64current/demos) that makes the 64 display in interlace mode! It can work in 640x400, 320x400, and 160x400 (yes both horizontal and vertical interlace). I have no idea how it is done (the demo is somewhat old, from 1988 I think). If you do download it, it is very sensitive. Only have one drive turned on. Also, it seems to only work with a 1541 (or 1571 in 1541 mode). It wouldn't run fully on my 1581. The sample picts are good but the really nice part of the demo is at the end! I'm still amazed at how the ending is done. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- :) :( :> :< :] :[ ;) :| :? :} :{ :* :^) :^( :+ :-) :\ :/ :! :$ :' :@ :O :# :<> l c s @ r e m u s . r u t g e r s . e d u -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
