My computer is dieing so I have no idea if/when any of my addons will
be updated again. I have totally lost the capability of mouse which
makes it insanely difficult to do the most basic stuff on windows.
Even with the accessibility tools, using the keypad as a mouse is hard
on my wrist for some reason, and is still no guarantee that something
else on the board will go bad. Need too many parts for even a basic
upgrade for this right now. PSU fan is semi-dead (works randomly if
at all), no USB ports, now the serial ports and the ps2 mouse port
don't work, and I haven't been able to scavenge another super socket7
board so I could just put the parts from this one into it. And then
the TVCR2 shareware idea didn't seem to go over too well either.
Since I don't have a car, I can't just go scum rummage sales till I
find one either.
Looks like my luck has finally run out, got a xt, 386, 486, p100, and
was able to keep piecing together a low level system for quite some
time all the way up to the current 300Mhz amd k-6 (only 72pin ram, but
still ok).
Basically, what it comes down to is I have no idea if/when I will be
able to update stuff properly again. Building isn't too difficult w/o
an effective mouse, but trying to test stuff is quite hard w/o a
proper mouse.
I sent a pre-copy of the next tvcr host program to RCWorld, but never
got it posted. I will try to get that up. It didn't have the fcode
fix in it but the other possible problems seem to have been fixed
properly.
If I just suddenly disappear, it will most likely be because something
else went wrong with the board.
