Re: X-710 without battery pack

Hey Pocket,

You are right, but I didn't do that. I have connected a 5 v power supply to the battery connector and it works well. The printer comes to life and everything works including test patterns :)

I have read about what you say in some manuals of things with rechargeable batteries. It's in the manual for a NEC PC-8201a I bought recently and also (thankfully) in the X-710 manual: "Do not leave the charger connected for more than 8 hours". These things didn't have overcharge protection!!! And as you say, the circuitry in the machine might be expecting the drop induced by the batteries, so disaster can happen if it's run on the external power without batteries.

I used a 5 v 2000 mAh power supply directly in the battery compartment.

Re: X-710 without battery pack

Hm, never mind, I found this: http://gtello.pagesperso-orange.fr/cx07_e.htm

The battery pack in my X-710 is made of 5 cells and says 6 v, 500 mAh, so I'll try to connect some power supply and see what happens instead of just opening the printer and doing the proposed hack. Thanks to Canon, the pack has a detachable connector.

X-710 without battery pack

Hello all,

I can only write in english, if this should go to the english forum, say so and I'll move it :)

I got an X-710 (yay!) but apparently it's been in storage for a long time. The battery pack is dead and so I disconnected it, now the battery compartment is empty. If I connect the external power source, only the reset button does something (the print head moves left, rolls the empty pen holder, then stops). The other buttons (print head shift, color change, paper feed) do nothing at all. Is this normal or is my X-710 broken?

In short, does the X-710 work without a battery?

You can reply in french :)

Thanks!

Re: CANON X-07 Problème impression sur X-710

Hey OldGeek,

Forgive me for writing in english...
The X-07 does not have any DIP-switches or any hardware configuration regarding the parallel port. Do you have a utility card inserted that could be running on boot and modifying the LPRINT command? You can also try to hook up a regular matrix printer to the parallel port and see what it does. Also, does the same happen both in text and graphic modes?

Re: [Canon X-07] Assembler

Gracias! Tu español no es malo :)

Yay for boring weekend tasks... I will try to understand the readme and then the memory maps. I have (only!) two XM-101, 8 KB cards. You don't want to sell some X-07 hardware, do you?

Re: [Canon X-07] Assembler

Airbug.one a écrit :Hello,
I confirm, the "Assembleur Micro Systemes" link on the page is the assembler program published on the "Micro Systemes" magazine.
The "only" problem is that you will have to learn french to read the article . 8)
If i have time this weekend i could translate the explanation i wrote at this time.
The assembler works on a 4Kb canon X07 and must be implemented at a specific memory adress.

Thanks a lot for your help. I can more or less read the article, and it would be great to have your translation of readme2.txt.

Re: [Canon X-07] Assembler

febed01 a écrit :Hello,
On the Hebdogiciel page you mention, you may want to try "L'as des as" which is also an assembler.
Thanks a lot, febed01!

And I think I've found the J. Outhier assembler at http://www.silicium.org/oldskool/calc/x ... rammes.htm

The mnemonics must be kept as BASIC instructions, preceded with REM, which is a memory hog. But it's great to have it.

However, if anyone has more help, or can confirm it, do not hesitate to reply

[Canon X-07] Assembler

Hello all,

Excuse me for writing in English but it's much better than mon française...

I would like to have an assembler for my machine. At http://gtello.pagesperso-orange.fr/cx07_e.htm the author makes reference to one named AS-VSN 3.0 by J. Outhier. Would anyone have it? And be so kind to let me copy it? At http://www.hebdogiciel.fr/CANONX07.htm there are a couple of dissassemblers but no assembler.

On a related note, has anyone done Assembly programming on the X-07? In case I am not lucky I was also thinking of using one for, say, ZX Spectrum and transfer the binary over to the X-07. Has anyone tried this?

Kind regards,
Lucia

Silly marketing images

Is there any marketing that's not silly? Let's make fun of it! If you have photographs in magazines, brochures, whatever, that were, let's say, not very throughly reviewed, post them! Explaining what's wrong is optional, and we can take turns at finding it.

I have only two: the first is from a brochure selling ADSL from the Spanish telecom Telefonica. Look at the pretty models, they look smart and business but, (hint) what's on the screen?

(If it doesn't show, the image is here)

The second is from a DEC catalog featuring the Microvax: Is there anything off in this picture?

(If it doesn't show, the image is here)

Have you more silly photos?

Re: Hello everyone / salut à tous

Thanks for the welcome! Yes, we are not very many but we are here. I'm sure you know Jeri Ellsworth, or Quinn Dunki, or Limor Fried. (Naturally I'm not comparing myself to them...)

I live in Palma de Mallorca, in (surprisingly enough) the island of Mallorca :)

I very much like computers, they are a girl's best friend! My dream machine was not the X-07 but the DEC Rainbow 100, ah, two OSes, sexy case, wow. But the Canon tops all the geek factors in my opinion. I recently bought a NEC PC-8201A and I thought it was small like the Canon! I had never seen a photograph with a person in it for scale and I was shocked: the keyboard is nice but my dear X-07 cost half the NECs and the Epson portables, was half as big and had the best BASIC of the portables(1)

I like your blog. But may I make one suggestion: in your entry "Partage d’une clé RSA", when you cat the key to authorized_keys, maybe it's better to use >> instead of > or you'd destroy the contents every time...

I am lucky enough to have two X-07s that work (my father bought them in 1984) but I never had anything like the books that came two weeks ago with the 8201: all the machine code calls and the schematics and everything. Still the X-07 was a delight to use and I was the only one in the whole school who had one, all the other kids had Spectrums and MSX and they traded cassettes but if I wanted to do anything with it I had to program!

Then came an Amstrad CPC-6128 and later an ST1040. GEM was a piece of junk so when I discovered a Mac emulator I had a better Mac than a real Mac. Only the rich kids had Macs and I had one with 800 KB of RAM and the 640x400 paper-like SM124 monitor from Atari. I used it for years and then bought an LC475, my first real Mac and the last. After that I discovered Linux and the computer didn't matter much anymore.

Now I center on virtual machines, FreeBSD and running off-grid with Raspberry pis and beaglebards

Regards!

(1) I can of course prove it.

Welcome to you!
Where do you come from in Spain?
I remember the X-07, even if I never touched it. When I was a teenager, It was only a dream on a magazine... (my god i am such a geek... :mrgreen: )
Cheers.

Pens for Canon X-710

Hello,

In the very unlikely event of a X-710 appearing in my life, is there any way to buy/make pens for it/how do they work/are they refillable? Is anyone aware of replacements made by other brands?

The only thing I can find is http://www.diagramma.ch/X-710--Canon-.1 ... 0.html?L=2 but I have had no response from them.

Regards,
Lucia

Re: La passion de l'informatique

Hi and welcome! Good thing the vintage Macs. I have fond memories of my Atari ST running System 6 on Aladdin with a 80 MB SCSI HD that I put together.

Have fun here!

Re: Hello everyone / salut à tous

I see. It's not a disappointment. I like very much to find 'artistic' types in this community. I think 'you' and the 'scientists' are alike. After focusing much on technical issues for thirty years I finally (yes, I'm slow) realized that what I enjoy most about computers is the creative expression. I would not be here without that.

Regards!

@Marge, olive72, mirage4, phe78: thanks for the welcome! Do I see some girls over there? Marge, olive...?

Now guys, I need to apologise for my bad memory. The reference card I have is in english, not in spanish...! I was sure it was in spanish, I feel like a dummy, I spoke too fast. Does anyone still want it or is it too obvious? Ledudu?
