just tried to use the 80 column text editor for cpm fo rthe sam its
absolute rubbish!
the cursor keys on the pc keyboard dont even work and the screen
refresh takes ½ an hour to keep up!
dont we know anyone who managed to pull off a 128k conversion for teh sam
they wouldnt need to bother with anything too complex tasword was only
64kb for the 128 machines its just the paging that needs altered?
what do i need to do disassemble it and then go thru looking for all
the outs that correspond to the speccy 128 ram out port? how do i do
that surely the edit find thing on the pc can do most of that?
i only liked using it because you could use the original speccy 32
column mode which was legible as the 64 dolum used only 4 pixels!
utterly illegibly - shouldnt be too bad on the timex or the sams 512
mode though depends how close your nose is to the screen!

sam juggler theres a few others on there too these are not quite so
related unless we ever manage to bung an r800 up the edge connector!

 Roger,
 was this meant to come to me rather than the mailing list?

 But to answer your question; I rather doubt it as he has moved on from the
 8 bit world and now works for a medium sized ISP type of company.

 I know you've all taken your Sam's to the beach and so no activity on
 the
 group.

 Dunno about the beach.
 I was searching for something in the loft this week and found four
 complete
 Sams and about 3 in bits. It made me feel a little sad.

 I'll be going to Gloucester in August and will be seeing B*b. Br*nchl*y

2009/8/1 Roger Jowett rogerjow...@gmail.com:
 just tried the 80 column text editor in cpm on sam
 it doesnt actually refresh the screen
 the cursors dont work

 cant anyone convert tasword+2 it was much better than this!
 someone must know how to convert 128k stuff as there is loads of it
 knocking around - the program is only 64kb no audio and you wouldnt
 need to bother with sam screen modes to begin with until people wanted
 to use proportional or mode 3 fonts

 shes a plus d disc remember
 took me about a month in hong kong to get tascon +d to work found it
 on the wos site though there was no instruciotns as there are actually
 more than one file on the tap file and you need a wee pause to help
 things a long and insert the right one
 i was trying to see if it worked with
 fuse
 81
 realspectrum
 zx spin
 seemed to fail in most of them though
 cant get any of them to set up a virtual interface1disciple network
 unfortunately and no one seems to have any idea how to use the fdd3000
 co processor with sam or a speccy for that matter! pity the wee git
 didnt have a few k of video ram adn about six r800's and a dma!
 have you seen the mb-02+ interface and its dma - they reckon it can
 switch between tape and disc operation and give 48 the 128 k ram what
 a pity the similar is not available for the sam! any news on
 kaleidescope

Hi Roger,

Could I ask that you don't sent your posts direct to me *and* the list.
I'm on the list so I'm seeing it all twice.

It all appears to be about cp/m, of which I know nothing, so I have to 
ignore it twice ;-)


Thankx

Nev
