zip2 ARM2SID Quick Installation Guide

ARM2SID is a new replacement for 2 Commodore SID music chips and more. ARM2SID is a bigger brother of our well known ARMSID, which is a real "plug & play" solution and fully replaces both the MOS6581 and MOS8580 chips.
ARM2SID comes whenever 2 SID chips are needed, usually for stereo. If you have 2 SID sockets, just place the ARM2SID in the primary socket, SID2 in the secondary socket, connect both of them with the provided 5 or 10 cm cable, configure with the provided C64/C128 utility and go.
If you have just one socket and are not afraid of soldering, you can get even more. Use the provided connector cable, connect the 6 wires to your C64/C128 and you get the 2nd SID for stereo, the 3rd SID for 3SID music and OPL FM synthesis compatible with FM Sound Expander!
Enjoy your ARM2SID!

zip45 Star Gemini 10x & 15x User's Manual

Congratulations on having purchased a serial, impact dot matrix printer that offers you more quality, greater flexibility and convenience, and superior reliability than you could find in any other printer in the same price range. As you already know (or are about to learn), the Gemini-lox and Gemini-15X let you print both regular and italicized alphabets, as well as normal, elite (smaller), condensed, enlarged, emphasized, and double-strike characters. You can print on regular stationery, multiple-sheet forms, fanfold computer paper, or paper fed from a roll (European style).

The graphics capability provided by the Gemini printers is limited only by your graphic talents, and includes three bit-image modes: Low Resolution (60 by 72 dots per square inch), High Resolution (120 by 144) and Ultra High Resolution (240 by 144). With all this printing power at your fingertips, what are you waiting for? Let’s get started!

This User’s Manual is organized to serve both the first-time user and the sophisticated computer buff. The first five chapters provide the basics you need for putting your printer to work in most home and office applications. Chapters 6 through 10 deliver information for intermediate and advanced users, supported by technically rich appendices. If you are a beginner, you might want to look at Chapters 6-10 sometime in the future, when your curiosity about how the printer does what it does has replaced your initial interest in what it can do.
