Commodore 1526 printer questions

I just got a commodore 1526 printer from ebay a few weeks ago. It is in perfect working condition except for the fact that the printer ribbon is dry. Besides that, the ribbon is in fine condition with very little wear. Is it possible to 'refill' or 'recharge' the cartridge with ink? If not, is there...

Re: PC to Datasette Transfer (WORKS!)

I've tried this and it worked for me, too. i do have one question, though. How do you do it with multiple .prg files for the same program?

1520 Printer

I bought a Commodore 1520 graphics printer off of Ebay a few days ago. I am already well studied up on what it is capable of, how to work it, etc., but I do still have one question. Say, when I get it (I don't have it yet, this is just in case), one or two of the pens are dried up or do not work. Ho...

Write Now! Word Precessor for the C64 - I have questions

I have a cartridge program for my C64 called "Write Now!" It is a professional Word Processor program this is incredibly fun to use, except for the fact that you can not save your work unless you have a disc drive. Currently, I do not have a working disc drive. I do, however, own two casse...

Re: 1541 issue

I'll PM you my address. I can not get the money right away. Will be going to the bank probably this weekend, so I'll let you know when I send out the payment.

Oh, and unless it already has cables included with it, i do not need them.

Thanks a lot!

Sprite Graphics Colors

To change the color of sprite graphics, do you simply need to add (PRINT CHR$"#") to the program? I've tried unsuccessfully several times, but only managed to change the color of the text. I've checked the color quality of the computer and there doesn't seem to be anything wrong, even chec...

Re: 1541 issue

Well, now that I found out that I can't even format a disk with the drive i have, I am thinking I have an even larger issue than I origionally thought. Is this something I should even bother trying to fix? Should I try to replace some of the chips inside? Some were way hotter than the others after o...

1541 issue

Well, my 1541 disk drive has finally ended up grinding it's way out of alignment after 20+ years of service. The drive is still in excellent condition and hasn't failed me before this issue. It'd be a shame to get rid of this drive for this single problem. Is there any simple way to realign th drive...
