how is the situation in Enschede after the explosion of the fireworks factory? I can't tell much about it, I was with my parents during the explosion. Today I returned to my room, a few kilometers west from the fireworks site. I've heard some stories, but I haven't met people who were in the

Turbo Pascal and keybuffering

Hi, I've made a menuprogram in Turbo Pascal which has to execute the game selected from the menu. I put the commandline in the keyboardbuffer (0FBF0H), but when I exit my program the first three characters are gone! And when I add an extra WriteLn at the end of my program all characters are

Amiga mouse and MSX

In the Dutch magazine MSX Mozaik #33 there is an article about connecting a Commodore 64 mouse to a MSX. You have to change the wires of button 2, ground and +5V to get it working. When I got an Amiga mouse I thought "hey, this is Commodore too, let's modify it into a MSX mouse!" So I made the

Amiga and MSX-mouses are indeed not compatible. I believe the X/Y-movement is, just like on PC, delivered to the PC in an analog signal, and not a digital signal. Too bad... :-( Anyway, thanks for your explanation. Jasper. MSX Mailinglist. To unsubscribe, send an email to [EMAIL

I may be very well mistaken, but if I remember well, you should tap left-right-left-right a few times until an extra menu appears. I hope it works for you. It worked for me, but I don't remember how... =) Your memory works very good. After just six keystrokes (L-R-L-R-L-R) the practice mode

Anyway. There is no reason for UZIX hanging up because you have 512k RAM or more. It works fine on my Philips 8245 with 128K and with 512K. Nice to see some unix on the screen, but it's very slow. Even ls may take up to one minute before displaying some results! But it really is a very

this MegaRam-module wasmade before the MSX2 was released??? Sure! It was created exactly after the born of Nemesis I. Ehhh... Nemesis I says (C) 1986, my 8235/00 says (C) 1985, so MSX2 is older than Nemesis I! And if that's true, the memory mapper is older than your Megaram... Jasper.

By the way, although in "real life" most things are (unfortunately) numbered from 1, building stories are numbered from 0. But somehow floor zero is given a special name (ground floor or something like that). You're wrong. In English, the ground floor is the first floor. Only in Dutch you start
