I have two questions governing the Diamond Trackstar if anyone knows:
1. in the FAQ it speaks of a site that at one time had downloads of the 3
varriants of the Trackstar software. Alos it talks of a fellow who wrote a
improved version of one utility for it. Are these totally lost or, does anyone
out there still have a trackstar floppy or other software?
2. on the upper right side of the Trackstar board is a 8 lin in line molex
connector for the CGA input from the PC ( Looks to me this works similar to
the color switch board on a PC Transporter and what you need is a wire to
connect it to the PC EGA out. I seriously doubt anyone has this wire these
days and was wondering if anyone knew the pin-outs for the connector so I
could build my own.
ok a 3rd question:
the circuit board and ribbion wire thing you plug into the Floppy Controller
of the PC, then into a 360k floppy and a output connector on the lower left of
the Trackstar: Anyone know a source for these or again, pin outs and how the
board works??
thanks
