Don't forget that if you're considering doing a 28MHz CPU for the SAM, you may want to consult with me and /or Martin Rookyard regarding the fiddly details you'll have to worry about :) We had a prototype that ran at 12MHz with an overclocked Z80... and discovered that you'd need to have some glue

New hardware for SAM

1999-09-07 Thread Jarek Adamski
Hi! I want to add one more thing to my hardware project list. This is extention with CPU compatibile to Z80, but 16b and working at 28MHz. This is all I know in this matter as yet. So I counted the votes (valid/invalid): 1. 4MB SIMM - 1/3 2. ZX128 emul - 1/3 3. DMA - 0/3 4. IS

You can get KE-Disk from the usual ftp site - I can't remember the exact path but the site is ftp.nvg.unit.no... One small peice of advice with KE-Disk - it's best to change the BASIC code to force the program to reread the entire disk directory before every disk command. IIRC, you need to put a '

Long filenames

1999-09-07 Thread Aley Keprt
Many people said we could use long file extensions in SimCoupe (especially for packed .sad.tar.gz, etc.), but I ask: Do we really need this? There are several things unpossible in DOS, and when we will need such, we must stop supporting DOS (e.g.digital sound has no standard in DOS). But why should

Now you can all play a lame game under emulation!

Blast Turbo, the updated version of Blast which was originally on Fred 56 (Blast Turbo itself was on a late Fred issue, but who knows which?) is now available for downloading. If you want some game to play on your Sam or under emulation and you didn't have a Fred sub at the time, you can be sub
