Letzter Tag Urlaub, Morgen um 6 klingelt wieder der Wecker 🫢

Nächste Woche dann gleich mal für zwei Tage ins #PCW fahren was testen.
Die Woche drauf ne normale Bürowoche

Und dann kommt wieder ne Woche Urlaub in den Bergen 😌
+ 1 Woche HomeOffice aus den Bergen 🤓

Silly, but fun!
Cant work out how to get a 'down' key which is a bit annoying in mail232 telnetting to a pi on xterm emulation

I was testing my disassembler with the #Amstrad #CPC or #PCW CP/M version of the Protext word processor and realised that there was a message that I'd never seen.

Turns out it's a "Thanks easter egg"

Here's how to trigger it.

1. Get the V2.23 version of Protext for CP/M
2. Start Protext
3. Enter "Key A,^192" at the Protext "a>" prompt
4. Hit Esc to go into edit mode.
5. Press Control, the number zero and A (aka Ctrl-0 A)
6. You now see "Many thanks to David Foster for all his help." at the top of the screen.

Hurra, %Hp1 🚂💨💨

#EisenbahnSpielen #PCW

"Befehl 8, sie müssen halten vor und dürfen weiterfahren nach Sicherung" oder so, kenn mich da nicht aus 🙃

#EisenbahnSpielen #PCW

Auch im #PCW gibts #TeamHp0 🫢🤔

Hatt ich gar nicht auf dem Schirm: Von den wenigen Vectron-Dieselloks die gebaut wurden, gehört auch eine fest dem #PCW 👏🏼

Auf dem Plan für heute: Bisschen #EisenbahnSpielen im #PCW 🤗

Diesmal gibts ne Prototyp-Hardware zum mal bissl antesten, wie das Bedienfeeling in der Realität so ist.
Implementiert ist es in der Software und vom Labor weiß man natürlich, dass es grundsätzlich geht. 👍🏼
Aber das alles ersetzt halt die Realität nicht gänzlich für einen richtigen Eindruck 🤷🏼

#retrocomputing #pcw #amstrad

Finally! The #amstrad is online!
#pcw #cpm #retrocomputing

Soldered up a serial and parallel interface for #amstrad #pcw - have put the chips in yet but smoke test plugging it in to the machine seems fine and booted to cpm.
Tomorrow, the ICs.... 😬

the #amstrad #pcw lives again!
Seems that my vertical defection died after the UPC1379C chip gave up the ghost.
Lets hope the new one keeps running and the chip was the primary failure point 😬 #retrocomputing #cpm

I feel like a madman -- my #z80 assembler, #v80, assembles itself! This is it doing so on an #Amstrad #PCW emulator, a #z80 CP/M machine from 1985. It's not optimised for speed on original hardware -- over 50% of the runtime will be just echoing text (thanks, CP/M) and I'm surprised by the amount of heap data needed in the end, but we are talking 335 KB of source code (8KB binary), and I can look into that

#asm #retrocomputing

A working #Z80 assembler in 6.7KB. I'm not release-ready yet, but I'm getting there. The source code is extremely well commented so if you want to learn Z80 assembly and/or CP/M, start reading: https://github.com/Kroc/v80

#v80 #asm #cpm #amstrad #pcw

Just checking my #z80 assembler would run on real hardware...

You won't find better commented, tighter, assembly code than this. #v80 has been meticulously crafted with every routine sweated over for compactness, simplicity and elegance with a view to understandability.

Does anyone have a disk image/file for On The Run for #amstrad #pcw ?

Cant find anywhere!
#retrogaming

nooo! y2k has taken me down! ;) #retrocomputing #amstrad #pcw

It lives!
#amstrad #pcw 9256 resurrected!
Having got it working then shorted the psu on the floppy housing (🤬), converted to USB-C PD.

Lots of capacitors replaced and the image is almost stable (a few ~100v caps still need doing as I don't have anything above 50v in stock).

Pleased :)

Now just need to make a #cp/m boot disk!

(Back connector on #thingiverse if anyone ever needs)

ooh, the #amstrad #pcw #9256 is getting closer - mainboard working (bad floppy controller chip replaced) and now crt deflection issues almost sorted (bad capacitors on the analogue board). Just need to test keyboard, make some adjustments to the pots on the analogue board and reassemble. Hopefully 😬😬

#retrocomputing #pcw9256

On a #z80 in normal operation, is the INT pin (16) meant to be held low?
Trying to troubleshoot an #amstrad #pcw 9256 that booted once but now seems to be dead.
Getting screen output but no activity other than the disc spinning on the 3.5" drive - no 3 beeps to signal a disc error, no drive light flash
#retrocomputing

Anyone know of an #Amstrad #pcw 9256 cp/m disk image anywhere? 3.5" disk, not 3"

Am I right in thinking the 9512+ disks wont boot the 9256 as different rom checksum?

#Prodatron worked on the sound daemon for his #SymbOS #Z80 operating system for the #Amstrad #CPC, #MSX, #PCW... In his latest video he shows #Pacman running with #OPL4 sound on the CPC. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4k0BmLr_1es

The work polishing #Vezza, my #infocom #Z-machine interpreter continues - this time it's the #Amstrad #CPC and #PCW that is getting some attention. I've been able to combine the two versions into a single binary, added support for accented characters, and made the image bootable on CPC - downloadable as an easy to use sample image at https://sijnstra.itch.io/vezza

I don't collect vintage tech... I merely accumulate #retrocomputing gear. It turns out I have 9 CRTs in my small retro room. And no Macs.

I think about two of them are CRT monitors (monochrome, naturally). One is a telly. Or maybe two. And one is an oscilloscope. One's a Minitel. One's an #amstrad #pcw ... there might be a #vectrex in there. There's a #vt320 somewhere too.

Oh, yes, and there is a colour CRT monitor too.
