I've been working (on and off) on a support TSR that does Tandy-to-CMS translation for binaries that have been patched to use int 0c0h instead of out 0c0h,al.

Nice, I would like to do the same.

CMSLPT Now work on Mod Master.

We could certainly share some code for the Tandy-to-CMS parameter translation.

The TSR that I originally planned to write still doesn't exist, but the real-time conversion code went into Planet X3 and can therefore now be admired in that game's source code in tnd_cms.s and tnd_cmslpt.s. The CMSLPT variant is admittedly still untested, but at least Tandy-to-CMS translation works quite well.

is there a model of the card so i can 3d design/share/print a case for it? i know my way around blender and got a new 3d printer recently but struggling to figure out an exact case to fit the db25 and ports on this, would save a lot of time remodeling/reprinting to dial it in, I'm guessing some other cad programs might be better to model these on? something that has a library of default connectors as currently i need to track down free cad versions then convert them over to .objs to use em in blender

I found my CMSLPT and I'm wondering, for J2, can I connect a Molex power connector (5V) to it directly without the required mini USB cable (via soldering)? I'm out of those cables and I'm about to set up my 486 in the future once I get my stuff moved into another room.

hi
yes you can :
J2 has ground and +5V connection.
Take care to have polarity correct !
