There WAS an intermidiate stage called AdamLinkIVa,the a standing for alpha. However,this was merely a TEST version and if I understand this correctly,Tom Clary (author of 3+ and IVa) never got the amount of feedback from this that he needed to actually take it into production.

The result is the disk that I'm happy to have in my hands!   So just what is it that seperates this one from the others? Many improvements have been incorporated,some invisible and some highly visible! Here's a run down.   AdamLinkV now supports external baud modems up to 9600 baud.

It is mine own humble opinion that the AdamLink series of telecommunication software is some of the BEST ever written for our Adam. As some folks feel about PowerPaint,I feel about AdamLink. And thanks to the behind the scenes efforts of Herman Mason Jr. and the enormous programming genius of Rich Drushel, we now have the most recent Castro (p2 - p8)OZR_10_91  9201 OzretichPkInAdmCon 9201 N.

By being one of those dedicated Adamites that won't let things lie! There had been some talk on the Adam bulletin boards last fall concerning AdamLink and folks were wondering if there was ever to be an update. Herman finally decided to take matters into his own hands and he called Tom. The upshot is,that after much discussion,Herman acquired the rights to AdamLink.

It even supports BOTH at once!   RLE (Run Length Encoded) picture files can be viewed onscreen from a  bulletin board. This is handy so you can actually see the RLE before you download it. If you're like me,you have plenty of RLE files and it's nice to know if the file your looking at is one you already have,under a different name.   Text can be printed  first one is probably one that hasn't even affected other AdamLink owners or at least I've never heard any complaints about it. I do a lot of my "modeming" on the A-NET bulletin board systems. When I would contact them via AdamLinkIVa,I would get a strange character on my screen in 80 column mode. IT would show up whenever the A-NET would clear the screen and present new text. I would always get a ^L on my screen! Not a calamity by any means,but just plain irritating. With AdamLinkV this no longer happens.amLinkV will do file transfers of both the ASCII type and the XMODEM type. Another handy feature to have if you need to do XMODEM transfers. A word of advice here. If you use the XMODEM feature to download CPM/TDOS programs,you will still need to transfer those to the CPM/TDOS enviroment in order for them to work.   AND the BEST new feature,the one I really love,is the ability to do a catalog of the media from within AdamLinkV. I don't know HOW many times I've been online,ready to upload a file and I canook truly awful. But ADAMLINKV DOES THE DOWNLOADS AND CAPTURES PERFECTLY! I heartily congratulate the authors on this. It makes my life considerably easier, to say the least!   The combination of all of the above makes for one smooth running and terrific piece of software. And that isn't even the beginning! When you buy AdamLinkV,you get a coupon entitling you to one free upgrade in the future. The two upgrades that are currently in the works are compatibility with the MIB2 and compatibility with the SYD files for us. Well,the files were in IBM named format. There was one called oh I don't know FUN.BAS,the .BAS meant it was a BASIC file. Try as I might,I couldn't download it. I thought I had to NAME my file the exact same name and AdamLinkII wouldn't accept it! So it's good to know that AdamLinkV WOULD have!   There are a few improvements that aren't even mentioned in the documentation that I consider wonderful. These eliminate at least two of the bugs that were present in earlier AdamLink versions. Theon either the SartWriter or Dot Matrix printer.   Keyboard Macros. I really like this feature. What it means is,you can take any string of text and save it as one keystroke on your keyboard. Suppose I wanted to save something I use frequently,like my log on password. With this, I can merely type in PASSWORD once and save it as a key. Next time I log on, I just need to press that key rather than type out my password. The macros can be created under any EOS word processor,like good old SmartWriter.   Ad   A much bigger bug that has been eliminated is this. When AdamLink was first patched to accomodate that higher speed external modems,it presented a problem with capturing text files or even in plain downloads. The problem was,when AdamLink paused to write to disk then went back to capturing the information,a burst of characters would suddenly chase across the screen. These characters would write to disk BACKWARDS for about the first ten or so captured. When one would print out the file later,it would l't remember the EXACT wording of the title! With AdamLinkV that is no longer a problem.   And speaking of filenames,here's another good feature. AdamLinkV will allow you to name the file whatever you wish,as long as it's ten characters maximum. This was not the case in earlier AdamLinks. I remember way back when I first started using a modem. There was a BBS in Memphis that carried an Adam section. It was run on an IBM,but the sysop was kind enough to have an area for us Adamites. He also carried programMODEM.   Great care has been taken to bring out this software and a lot of hard work went into it. All of this shines through in this fine product.   At the price of $24.95(US funds) with shipping included and the free upgrade coupon,this is a "must have" for those serious about using their modems. I give it my highest recomendation!   To order AdamLinkV,send check or money order to:    HLM-GK HARDWARE/SOFTWARE CO.    8912 Blaine Ave.    Cleveland,Ohio 44106   You won't regret it!   And to the black frame;    and then by removing the front two screws thereof            completely; the front of the grey drive mechanics can be     "tilted" up or down enough to allow the removal of all of    the four screws required to free the "face plate".   Please perform this operation, but do not separate the face plate from the drive mechanics yet, inasmuch as the leads of the originally questioned, is still holding the two parts    together.   (Also note that the four screws that you removed are nMar-05-92 01:53PM Subject: Drive Light Jack, with reference to your message as dated and partially  quoted below; <<<<<"Date: 03-03-92 16:07 From: Jack Leamy How do I remove and replace the disk working, (not power on) light on my original Coleco 160k DD?">>>>>  The light is just a Light Emitting Diode, (LED), that goes  o n when a certain part of the internal circuitry is         activated, (turned on). When the drive motor gets juice, the LE D gets it too because it is attached to the input wires ientation of the longer of the two LED       leads, relative to the connector when the connector is       removed therefrom. (The longer lead will likely correspond   to a small dot on the base of the LED also). LEDs are        polarized, (they are diodes), so they must be re-attached    correctly or they will not light up. However, wrong          orientation will not damage the LED, so if it is wrong when  re-assembled, turn it around.   (The drive can be operated while it is apart.

Most LEDs,  (including the "power on" LED in the same drive), merely sit in place being suspended there by their own leads. If,       because of the connector, the new LED will not sit in place, then put a little Elmers glue around the base of the LED.

LEDs come in an amazing number of shapes and     sizes, and you will likely find the same one. If not, find   one that has nearly the same thickness leads, (or if they    are thicker, they may have to be filed to fit the            connector); and that has the diameter to fit the hole in the face plate.  You will likely break the LED retainer on the reFeb-29-92 12:56PM Subject: ADAM Part 1 Lani; I hadn't thought to respond to your query about the UL of " files" on the FIDO using the 300 Baud ADAMLink modem until I saw Guy's response.

Your BBS may not give   these same exact options, but I bet they are similar. This   puts me in the position of seeing on the screen all of the   messages that I haven't read yet, not today, yesterday,      never! And I read continuously, because of the last (N) that I pressed. (The pressing of the last (N) is not so important now, but will be later when I starectory for the filename, and if it already exists, such a statement is displayed on the      screen.

Then I press        "done", (SKVI). The program searches the dirt to copy the messages     onto my disk).  I do all of this so that I don't open a file on my disk     just to find out that there are no new messages on the ADAM  conference. When the messages begin to come through, I write down the   message number of the first one, (mesage numbers change from day to day as old messages are bumped off the bottom of the  message base and new ones are added to the top, so you can't rely on the message numbers that you downloaded the day      before). Knowing now that  BUT, what was there when you pressed      "WILDCARD" the first time is gone! So you must remember what it was that you needed to press just prior to the first      press of "WILDCARD", in my case it was (N)o. I press the "N" and the word "NO" appears on the screen and then the messages begin to come. Thus the first thing that I have on the disk is the "NO". On my BBS, (the BOBCAT BYTE), the words "End Of Mesages,    Press RETURN to Continue:" appear when there are no more     ADAM messages. When this c59PM   Subject: ADAM At this point I don't answer the question because if I do,  the messages will begin scrolling before I can open my file. But I remember that (N) is the next keypress. Now I press "WILDCARD", up there by the "ESCAPE" key. This  returns me to the opening ADAMLink screen. Meanwhile the BBS is still awaiting my press of the (N) or the (Y). But what I do when the present screen is visible, the BBS cannot read,  so I don't have to worry about what the BBS wants until I    press "WILDCARD" clear the screen, put in a work disk, (which I use   over and over for UpLoading messages), clear the screen, and begin the messages, "Lani; and etc". When I finish the message, I put in 2 carriage returns,     which will tell my BBS that the end of the message is here,  then I put an "S", which tells it to save the message.       (Actually the 2 carriage returns and the "S" could be put in by hand when the end of the message comes during the         UpLoad). The things that I have to watch are; 1.th HERE I PRESS (N)o!!!    (if it can be done another way, maybe, but I don't know it,  I just press (N)o). Then the screen tells me the rules, 70 characters per line, 60 lines, and whatever. While this is going on, I put in my  work disk, and press "WILDCARD" to go back to the initial    ADAMLink screen.  Here I select "FILE", (SKVI); then "X-MIT" (or whatever it  says on SKI), then I select the SK for the drive where I     have the work disk. Then, as before with the receiving of a file, it asks me   II is higher than 127 is        allowed. Usually this is not a problem, inasmuch it would be difficult to generate such using SMARTWriter. I save this file to the work disk, and use a simple name    for it like A, B, c, etc. Then I make notes on my BBS log    sheet that I keep. I put the name of the individual to whom  it is addressed, and the subject, (the same subject as was   on the message to which I am responding), and the file name. I will use these during the UL process. Then I clear the     workspS has been waiting for  me to press keys typing in the message. I haven't typed in   any message, so it has just been sitting.  Now I press "STORE/GET" as I was told to do before, and the disk starts, and the message begins quickly spieling across  the screen. If I put the two carriage returns at the end of the file,   it asks me if I want to edit or save the file, etc. If I     also put the "s" after the two carriage returns, it          automatically saves the message. That is all there is to it! I  Ostler To: Lani Brito Msg #85, Feb-29-92 01:03PM   Subject: ADAM Now I press (E)nter, and the screen comes up: "FROM: MEL    OSTLER (CR) TO: ". I type in "Lani Brito" for instance,      because that is the name to which message file "a" is to be  sent. This I get from the notes that I made when I saved the messages. I next insert the SUBJECT from the notes. This is  the same as if one were doing it on-line. Then my BBS asks me about changing anything, etc and then   about if I want to UpLoad a message.at I don't leave empty lines, (two simultaneous         carriage returns), because my BBS interprets an empty line   as the "end of message". However, if I leave a space before  the second "RETURN", then it is not considered as an empty   line.  2.that I don't use any control characters in the text, (Do  you remember the SMARTWriter trick of pressing ^6 befoe      pressing return to eliminate the line feed bug in            SMARTWriter? Well, don't try that one on the BBS!). 3.and no character whose ASC for the filename. But this time it wants the name of the     file to be sent. From my notes on my BBS log, I find that    the file to "Lani" is named "a", so I type in "a", then      press SKVI, "DONE". The program searches the disk for the filename "a", and     notifies you if it is not found. Otherwise it tells you that you can transmit as soon as you press "STORE/GET" when again in contact with the BBS. Now I press "WILDCARD" again, getting back to the BBS       screen, which is again blank. (The BBace. At this point I return to the ADECHOF29 disk and get the    file, and find another message, if any, to answer; and       repeat the process until I am finished. (Most days of        course, I don't have any thing to say.  OK, now it is time to get back onto the ADAM Conference and post the messages. So I go through the actions until I have  th ADAM conference menu. See Ya, Mel --- * Origin: THE BOBCAT BYTE - Las Cruces, NM (1:305/116)*** This is a reply to #83. *** See also #85.From: Meldon't know about all of the   things like X-MODEM transfers, etc. When we get a bit more   use out of the thing, we can ask Guy about that.

It can be used to calculate the    future of multiple fixed rate      bonds or guaranteed investment     certificates. You simply insert    data in the fe on the specified date.Columns 11 and 12 represent the    interest per compound period and   the number of compound periods     applied to the bond.  These are    internal intermediate values and   should not form part of the final  sheet.  Unfortunately AdamCalc     does not have a feature to HIDE    cells.PRINTINGIn order to print out an estimate, just select PRINT RANGE from the   print menu with the cursor on cell [1,1].  Then move to the bottom of column 10 (where the totals are)   and press P matured.  For    example, If today is January 1     1992, I may wish to know how much  money I will have in 1994.  I      would therefore enter 1994 and 1   for the year and month cells.Next, enter the year and month     that a bond is purchased in        columns 1 and 2 (starting at row   10).  The reason for the two       separate entries is to facilitate  the determination of maturity date.In column 3, you enter the face    value of the bond at purchase time.Column 4 is used to record the     ANNr down to make more room.QUESTIONSIf you run into problems, please   refer to your AdamCalc instruction manual.

Then move to the bottom of column 10 (where the totals are)   and press Prly, 2 is      bi-annual, and 1 is yearly.Now your job is over and it is     time to let AdamCalc do its work.  Press the recalc key (if in manual recalc mode) to fill in the rest   of the values....Column 7 contains the value at     maturity.Column 8 is the maturity year      while column 9 is the maturity     month.If the bond has matured (based on  the date entered at the top of the sheet, the maturity value will be  shown under CASH (column 10) to    indicate that that CASH will be    availablirst 6 columns and    let AdamCalc figure out the rest   for you.The investment calculator can      handle varying compound interest   styles:  Yearly, Bi-annually,      Quarterly, and Monthly.  It is not equipped to handle weekly or daily interest rates.  Interested        parties may tackle that            enhancement if they wish. INSTRUCTIONSThe first thing you should do is   enter the TARGET YEAR and MONTH at the top of the spreadsheet.

If  it does not, just ask to print the saem range again and it WILL print correctly.  You can solve this     problem by typing a single cell to a scrap of paper at the beginning  of your AdamCalc session.MODIFICATIONSIf you wish to add more lines, use the COPY ROW function to copy row  10 to another empty row before the TOTALS line.  If you happen to     have SEVERAL ENTRIES, you can MOVE the totals row a bit loweUAL interest rate.  For 10      percent, enter ".10", that is the  decimal equivalent of the corret   rate.

This will ensure that     they have correctly been formatted as double sided disks.Although the EOS is restrictive in not allowing disks to be random access     devices, it is, by virtue of the directory structure, smart enough to  handle media of all sizes, provided the directory has been correctl‚Nےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےقےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےے                  SINGLE-SIDED DOUBLE-SIDED DISKS FOR THE ADAMDouble sided disk drives are a great improvement to the ADAM system,          especially if you regularly work with large files.

In the case of the 160K format, 13+2+145 totals to    160K.  The 256K format uses 270K of the possible 320K, and the last uses  all double-sided disk space.  Note however that 1K is losuch as SMARTBASIC, ADAMCALC, SMARTFILER, and other  software    items.  Your data disks, however, can be converted quite easily  using a file copier such as FILEMANAGER:    Format a new disk and initialize its directory ensuring that you     specify 320K (double sided) medium size.    Copy ALL the files from your single sided disk to the double sided     disk; it will fill up less than half the disk.  If you wish, copy all     the files from another related single sided disk to the same double    y initialized.                                      TDOSAll 5 1/4 disks have the saem DENSITY.  Each side has 40 tracks and each      track contains 4K.  This provides 160K of storage on each side of a disk.     While TDOS has the capabilities to handle various disk formats, there are a   few things to consider prior to choosing your preferred disk format if you    have a double-sided 5 1/4 disk drive:                 SIZE SYSTEM_TRACKS DIRECTORY USABLE % DIFFERENCE                 ---- -------ommodate double sided disks.  Certain         procedures must be followed in order to convert your existing media to        double-sided format.  This article will cover both EOS and TDOS               installations.                                       EOSIf you don't have any double-sided disks GET SOME!  You probably have some    double sided disks which have been formatted on a single sided drive.   These disks should be copied onto double sided disks.  Do not fiddle around  with   system disks st since the usable  disk space is allocated in pairs.A 256K format gives you 75% more usable space, and a 320K format gives you    yet another 34%.  But let's look at the complications.  CP/M and TDOS can     handle up to 256 allocation blocks.  This is actually not entirely accurate   but will suffice for this discussion.  An allocation block should not be      confused with the term 'block' used in EOS which always means 1024 bytes or   1K.  CP/M allocation blocks and 'K' are not necessarily synonymouscks are handed out in pairs on the 320K format, all odd   number files will actually occupy one more K on the medium.  When using 2K    allocation blocks, file sizes are always an even number regardless of their   real size.  If we try to place several of these groups of files on the two    double sided formats, we find that  254/35=7.26  and  304/38=8.0!  Now our    GREATER SIZED disk only gives us about 10% more storage space.  As a matter   of fact, if you look at 5 files of 1,2,3,4,5 K each, you will fisents data tracks 2 and 3, and so     on.  Thus, when allocation blocks are handed out in 2K chunks, you can        define up to 255 allocation blocks or 510 physical 'K' on the medium. While   this is sufficient to handle 320K disks, larger allocation blocks are         required to define 720K or 1.44MEG disks.  In those cases, we usually get     into 2-byte allocation blocks.  This means that block 1 is defined as 01 00,  block 255 as FF 00, block 256 as 00 01, etc.  Note that the first bye is      least ompatible, over the first      160K with a single-sided disks.  When trading programs, all you need to do    is ensure that you copy (on to a clean disk) no more than 145K of files and   ANYONE with a 5 1/4 disk drive can read it!Given that you have chosen the 256K format, use this procedure to install  or reinstall your TDOS.  Note that distribution copies of TDOS are usually  in   single sided (160K) mode.    BOOT TDOS or the TDOS install disk.    Run the 40TDOSxx.COM or 80TDOSxx.COM depending onpling of 5 files ranging  from 1 to   13K.                  actual size     on 256K         on 320K                     1               1               2                     4               4               4                     7               7               8                    10              10              10                    13              13              14                    __              __              __                    35              35              38Since allocation blo.CP/M has codes in the directory entry which tell the operating system where   the files reside on the medium.  If each of these is one byte, the maximum    allocation block which can be represented is 255.  Since the full double      sided disk has 306K of usable space counting the directory, it is not         possible to express them all in one byte of data.  TDOS therefore assigns     this medium blocks of 2K each.  Thus allocation block 0 represents data       tracks 0 and 1, allocation block 1 reprend that the   320K format has NO advantage over the 256K format.....amazing but true.No doubt, when you are dealing with very large files in the 20K to 50K        range, there will be a significant advantage in using the 320K format.  But   you must also consider SHARING PROGRAMS.  After all, TDOS is Public Domain    and we hope you will help keep TDOS alive by sharing disks with other         ADAMITES; perhaps some will not have double-sided disk drives.Bear in mind that the 256K format is entirely csignificant and the second is most significant.  The last example       should be read as "(zero) plus (one times 256)".  This addressing method can  handle up to 65535 allocation blocks which should be suitable for any size    medium.A file may use all or part of an allocation block but that same block  cannot be shared by another file.  This is true whether the file is one  byte long   or 2048 bytes.  You can imagine that several small files will eat  up big     chunks of the disk.  Let's look at a sam your video display.    Tell TDOS that you have a 256K drive.    Finish off the installation or reinstallation.    REBOOT TDOS.Now your TDOS system can still read single sided disks and you can use        procedures similar to those described under the EOS section for moving  files and reformatting disks.If you want to install full-size 320K drives on your TDOS SYSTEM, you will    encounter great difficulties if you have only one disk drive.  Our            recommended solution is to borrow adle.                                  FLIPPIESWhen I consult the chart of usable media space in TDOS, I can conclude that   a flippy will give me 290K of usable space (145 each side).  That gives me    95% of the capacity of a full double sided disk without the problems of       incompatibility.  True BUT, try putting a flippy, in a double sided drive     and reading side two....you can't because the disk is spinning the wrong      way!Spinning the wrong way introduces another problem.  The sleeve ZE.COM program to temporarily change the atributes for your drive.Note that the references to disk format have mostly been to the way that      CP/M treats the disks.  This can be refered to as the LOGICAL format.   There are only 2 Physical Formats for 5 1/4 ADAM drives:  SINGLE SIDED or  DOUBLE   SIDED.  FORMAT programs will format 160K on a single sided drive and  320 K   on a double sided drives.Thus FILEMANAGER has only two options for 5 1/4 disk..single and double.  A   disk with a physical formflippies in TDOS, make sure that you first use the DISKSIZE program to set the drive to   a logical 160K (145K format).  Provided the DIRECTORY and DRIVE are  properly set, there should be no problem copying or deleting files; at least no problem related to the fact that the disk is a flippy.Note also that you cannot FORMAT a flippy disk on a double sided drive;       again because the format information will be recorded BACKWARDS on side  two.  You can, however, use a combination of a double sided drily chosen since it is easier  to         remember than FA02.  The disk controller takes over at that point and         formats according to the drive specifications.  The only difference in the    FORMAT program is in the verify option which checks either 160K or 320K of    the disk for errors.DSKSZ is a necessary utility to allow us to switch between LOGICAL formats.   It is up to the people with double sided drives to be versatile since the     single sided people have only one format that they can han disk drive for the installation using     these procedures:    INSTALL or REINSTALL TDOS with disk 1 as a 320K and disk 2 as 1 160K     format.    REBOOT TDOS.    Format some disks on disk drive 1.    Copy files from disk drive 2 (single) to disk drive 1 (double)    REINSTALL TDOS.  If you borrowed a drive, disconect it.  If you have 2     disk drives, specify both (if that is what you want) as 320K format.    When you receive material in single sided or 256K format, use the     DISKSIwhich          encloses disks is a one-way material similar to those magic lint brushes.     When you push one way it picks up the junk; when you push the other way,  the junk falls out.  On a flippy, this means that you spit back onto the  disk    any garbage that may have been picked up by the sleeve.When you CREATE a flippy disk for use with EOS, make sure that the  directory on each side says it is a 160K medium.  Setting the medium size  any higher   is guaranteed to cause you problems.  When using at of DOUBLE sided (320K) can be used as a 145K,     254K, or 304K disk with TDOS.When you configure the TDOS FORMAT program and specify DOUBLE SIDED disk      format, FORMAT will format single or double sided disks equally well.  This   is due to the mechanics of FORMAT.  FORMAT uses the same calling convention   as WRITE BLOCK.  To format a disk, you write, not to block 0 or 1 or 100,     but block FACE which is not a word but the HEX representation of the  decimal number 64206.  That number was probabve and a  single    sided drive to format two disks simultaneously.  Format side one on  the      double sided drive (which formats side two incorrectly).  Turn the disk  over and insert into the single sided drive to correct the second side.Flippies have an additional advantage.  You can put twice as much material    on a physical disk and MAIL it to someone knowing that they will be able to   read it with any 5 1/4 drive.  Such limited use is recommended as it  reduces mailing costs.

(land or BBS?) we seem to be going somewhere  finally.....perhaps we neeincluding powering the fan directly from the Adam       printer rather than using an external source.  I found that I had to be a    bit more creative than initially anticipated, but the whole job took about   two hours.  Now my printer never seems to overheat.  For the benefit of      those who are contemplating such a task, following is a rehash of the        instructions.PARTS:    1 110 volt low impedance cooling fan (up to 3 1/2 inches)    2 stove bolts or tapping screws big enough to fit snugly an explain how YAPP      fits into the picture.  His next step and only major investment(?) will be   a TNC modem.  This he requires to make the actual connection to a packet     BBS.  When he talks on the BBS, ZMP won't even know the difference.

Cut away the pedestal on the left side (not the back) to make it level with  the rest of the casing.  Although a bit smelly, I used an electric           soldering iron to melt it down; it was less trouble than trying to reach in  with a file.  Next remove the screw that holds the corresponding pedestal    in the upper shell.  The ridges in the shell m‚MےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےقےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےSome time ago, I asked David Cobley (VISA) about installing a cooling fan    in my printer.  He graciously sent me a copy of an article from Bob Stroud   (Calgary) which contained detailed instructions.  David added a few          comments of his own, d to communicate with him to get all the gruesome  details....thanks....I have also seen your description of Gary's system.  Seems to me he has      most of what he needs.  If you would be so kind as to configure a ZMP for a  HEATH emulation for him....that is required for the 40 column TDOS.  He can  use that with his external modem to call a few BBS, like Buckeye Hamshack    to give us some progress reports and ask questions about ZMP in 'normal'     mode.  Once he is familiar with ZMP operations, we cin the holes    1 finger guard (optional)...see the details below    1 Phillips screwdriver    1 paper and pencil to take notesStart by unplugging the printer and moving it to a comfortable working       area.

This entails the removal of    the power supply and logic board:  not for the faint hearted.  You will      find two screws at the back of the printer near the spot where the cords     come in.  Near the centre of the printer (underneath the print head), you    will find yet another mounting screw.  On the under side of the printer,     there are four more screws.  These are the ones nearest the centre of the, make     sure that the said cable does not interfere with the print head movement.    Try sliding it back and forth to make sure there are no obstructions.        Replace the 7 screws holding the power supply.  Insert each screw only part  way until they are all in.  This will allow minor adjustments to line up     the holes.  Be sure to tighten everything back up after.  Then re-insert     the connectors on the logic board...IN THE RIGHT SEQUENCE!At this stage, you may wish to verify that the printer ind a ground wire running from the solenoid that  advances the platen.  Remove the screw and push the wire out of the way.     Working form the back of the printer, lift the power supply slightly to      clear the lip and begin edging it out.  Watch that none of the wires or      components get caught anywhere and pull gently.  If it seems stuck, have a   good look around.  Perhaps you forgot to remove one screw?Turn the power supply over to reveal a metal shielding over the power        leads.  Remove th the fan mounted   in place, I lined up the the top two holes and marked the location of the    bottom two.  I drilled holes in the bottom of the casing, of the size of my  screws.  Because the printer cover is angled, I wanted to recess the fan a   bit inside, so I used two large rubber faucet washers as spacers.OPTION ONEI then attached the fan to the bottom part of the casing.  Then I placed     the cover over the printer and, using the template, I marked the outline of  the fan on the upper part ofLUE as it  gives a more secure bond.  Before proceeding, you may wish to verify that    the fan indeed has power.  Check to make sure you have no possible short     circuits and plug the printer back in.  Turn on the power and check the      fan.  Be sure to UNPLUG the printer afterwards.Replace the shielding and re-insert the power supply back in the printer.    Re-insertion is trickier than removal.  You must watch out for the cable     that runs to the solenoid at the back.  Once the board is in place    printer.  Mine were mounted on a metal bar (for added sturdiness?)  It is    recommended to tilt the printer slightly during this process rather than     turning it over.Now look at the front of the logic board.  The part to the right and under   the print head.  There is a connector on the extreme right edge and a strip  of connectors to the left.  Take note of the colours and number of wires in  each connector and gently pull each one out.  On top of the Heat sink at     the back, you will likely fappears to be         working correctly by plugging it in again.  Make sure the fan is not in the  way before doing so.  If it whirrs as it normally does on power up, you are  probably ok.  While you are there, you may wish to clean the knife switch    on the left side of the front of the printer.The next step is to decide on the exact location of the fan.  I centred      mine between the two ridges on the casing.  I then made a template form a    piece of cardboard with the four holes from the fan.  Withis shield and examine the wires.  You will see that one of  the wires from the POWER source goes directly to a connector and that the    other is re-routed to the switch.  Use the return wire from the switch and   the other main power wire as your source for fan power.  Strip a short bit   of wire from the fan and solder it over the existing wires.  Be sure to get  a good connection.  Then channel the wires towards the edge of the card and  tie them down.  Although you can use electric tape, I prefer HOT G the casing.  I then made a jig for my router    and used a 1/8 bit to trace HORIZONTAL GROOVES in the casing.  Although the  lines were not perfectly straight, I though it more frugal and neater than   paying another two bucks for a finger guard.  I then placed the cover back   on again and refastened the whole thing together.  I had two screws          leftover:  one that held the inner pedestal, and one that attached the       cover to said pedestal.  If you have any more leftover, look things over     ahe card in order to facilitate other similar repairs.
