  Photoreflectors
 
Hi ! Can anyone on the list give me a hint where to buy a couple of photoreflectors ? I have a hard time to find them here in Austria and the companies that offer mail order have a minimum order of aprox. $100. Any hint is highly appreciated. TIA. (...)

  Charge polarity on each board opposite?
 
Well, I finally broke it. My Handyboard has been a true workhorse, so forgiving of my newbie errors, until now. Mine has a 9.6V Nicad in the case. When I tried to fire it up last, the battery was low so I plugged in the 12V DC supply line from the (...) (28 years ago, 28-Aug-96, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

  IC doesn't work on 8086/8088
 
Since the freeware version of IC (2.8x) was running into the 640K limit, I compiled for 286 and higher to reduce code size, assuming not too many folks still had 8086 machines. This is the problem you're running into -- sorry. -- Randy (28 years ago, 23-Aug-96, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
