This morning i received the boards for the ZM1350 smartsockets. I only glanced over them for a minute or so, but they look good. The holes for the socket pins...
Thanks to anyone patiently waiting to experiment with these boards. I am glad to say that they are in good order, and work exactly the same as the original...
Hello rich, Thanks for your interest in these devices. I can spare you just enough pins to do the job, at 8p each. 16 required per PCB. The PCB's are £2.92...

The files section was becoming a mess, with two versions of B7971 sockets and the ZM1350 socket adding to the confusion. Hopefully I will be soon adding the...

Well done Mr Slick ! You have some good ideas for transitions there.....I wonder how it would look to have letters which folded over themselves at the ...
Chris, I built the ZM1350 boards - and they work great. Thanks! I have a first attempt at a four-letter-word generator up and running (based on a PIC 16f688...
I built a four letter word generator using a PIC and four zm1350 boards. Since I now have two 7971 boards, I swapped them in place of two of the 1350 boards -...
Hello paul, I'll look into it here. The ZM1350 sockets use the same instruction handling code as the B7971 sockets and therefore they should work. You could...
The hardware checked out, but the 16F690 failed to verify against the V2 hex file... I'm not sure what they're running, but I reburned them with the correct...
Is it missing, really ? I like the retro look and made it that way deliberately Are you able to sort out the new font yourself ? If not I'll see what i can do...
The retro-R looks cool, but I think full-R goes better with the other letters. Personal preference :) I was able to change it in the hex code (and I learned...
That's really bizarre, I can't think what the difference might be to change the underscore...perhaps it was the last change I made and I didn't set the file...
Just to mention that I have some PCB's for either the ZM1350 or the rev2 B7971 version. Both pcb's allow for the closest possible spacing of the displays, and ...
There has been a small update today for both versions of the Smartsocket software. The letter 'R' is now identical to the Burroughs classic font and no longer...
