[M100] Virtual-T Debugger, breakpoints question

2020-05-07 Thread Erik van der Tier
Hi, I’ve been playing with the VirtualT development environment and it looks really good so far! I downloaded the sample project and that works just fine. However, when I start the debugger and set a breakpoint right at the start of the program’s start address (62000) and run the program, the

 I’ve just upgraded my Rex to build 620 (I was already on an older 4.9 build, so just a simple update). Worked like a charm (very easy). Thanks for keeping the REX project up to date! Cheers, Erik

This will be really helpful. When I was making a video a few weeks ago about using diagnostic programs I thought to myself how much easier it would have been to have a M100 diagnostic ROM that would test memory before trying to do a hard reset. I just got notice right after your email from

I was able to get it working without much difficulty on a Model A Pi, with the knowledge that the LED hat mentioned doesn't quite mate on to the older Pi header, you'll have to jumper it in. I've made some changes to the original code to add a "shell" prompt so you can use TERM to log into the Pi.

You make some valid points. With a well maintained system, there should be no reason to replace the original pcb. Agreed. On 5/7/20 5:22 AM, Jeffrey Birt wrote: I saw the video was out but have not watched it yet. It makes me happy to see folks around the world being able to fix their C64

I’m currently about 90% done with the new C64 motherboard. Almost all new parts except obviously the chips specific to the C64. It’s been a fun project. Tons of soldering of parts since I’m doing the older revision board. I have about 5 C64s that look really worse for wear on the PCB and I’m tel

Just shared 3 PCBs on OSHPark for an M100/T102 diagnostic harness set that I have been using to repair a few model T¹s and keep others alive. Since I found the method to be quite beneficial I thought others might be interested. If you are familiar with the C64 diagnostic harness it is the the sa

I agree with you that the repro PCBs are mostly pointless; there are plenty of originals out there, plus C64 Reloaded and Ultimate64, which I think both have some good advantages. If you’re going to ditch the original hardware, seems like you ought to get some modern features for it. However

The one I like is the ZX Spectrum Next https://www.specnext.com/ It is more of an update rework with a new case etc using FPGAs to replace just about all of the logic. The M100 has been done but not to the level of the C64, it uses a Teensy but has all the ports except the modem port. :) Fr
