I know z80 asm. I need my reference chart of course, but I have writen
programs.
Anyone here managed to get windows 95 to run on an amstrad with a z80 and
64k ram? I have. I had to rewrite the gui part so it would run. There were
no drives, but it did have a working start menu. It used a loystick as a
mouse. The idea was to show how bloted windows is. The hardest part was the
dithering routine. I ended up removeing it and just useing nearest color. It
was writen in basic with a few routines in machine code. I lost the code.
