Greetings from East Texas

I aquired a SM1 last week and been working on cleaning it up. It has a CMC dos base tape emulator but I did not get any books or disk with it. Could some point me to a copy of the CMC download software and a copy of the master file. I have not been able to power it up I think it's because the master is not loaded.

Could someone give the cable pin out seeing as they did not follow rs232 standards.

Thanks but I done try the file they had. Back in the 80’s every body did there own thing with “RS232 standard” So I need CMC software link and Cable to be sure. Now if someone has use the amtsinc software with a CMC card and it works then I have a different problem.

The AMTSINC software will work on the CMC emulator but the cabling is different, I will post the wiring tomorrow or you can call amts.

Thanks that did the job can now down load the master. Still have problems.

Does any one have a schematics for a SM-1 with BX controller? Seams if I ground out pin 2 of IJ3 I can power up then if I press the operate button the drives will power up and I can move the drive by adjusting the balance. This is before I load the master. Once the master is loaded the drive power relay and all but the COR relay drop out. I’m left with the screen asking what language but no keys work.

The most common problem is that there is a key stuck. Bang on all keys and buttons about 5 times each and see if you cant select '0' for English. Let me know if this does not work
