[2016-11-20 20:01:33 CET] I have a bit of a chill in my kidneys, so may need to rush off at any time [2016-11-20 20:01:41 CET] Otherwise Im good. You? [2016-11-20 20:02:09 CET] i am fine. [2016-11-20 20:02:26 CET] Good, any new developments? [2016-11-20 20:02:40 CET] wrote some software [2016-11-20 20:02:47 CET] ? [2016-11-20 20:02:48 CET] for vdrive [2016-11-20 20:02:56 CET] and lprint usb [2016-11-20 20:03:07 CET] in assembler [2016-11-20 20:03:23 CET] do you use assemmbller too? [2016-11-20 20:03:24 CET] Brilliant, what is Vdrive soft [2016-11-20 20:03:43 CET] Yes, I do. But Forth is favourite just now [2016-11-20 20:05:08 CET] vdrive is a small board to connect sd cards to the speccy. [2016-11-20 20:05:35 CET] Ah, I thought it was ZXNU [2016-11-20 20:05:53 CET] i use it for zeddy (nu) and speccy. [2016-11-20 20:06:24 CET] Is it easy to add to Spectrum? [2016-11-20 20:06:35 CET] more or less. [2016-11-20 20:06:52 CET] i will send you a piicture. [2016-11-20 20:07:05 CET] OK, thanks. [2016-11-20 20:07:08 CET] the software taakes 1kbyte. [2016-11-20 20:07:31 CET] sitting in the free places of the rom. [2016-11-20 20:07:38 CET] speccy rom. [2016-11-20 20:07:49 CET] So you need a new rom? [2016-11-20 20:08:47 CET] yes, an eprom with sinclair basic + extra software. [2016-11-20 20:09:18 CET] I need to get an old laptop with a parallel port on it to use my burner [2016-11-20 20:09:47 CET] Do you use same syntax as ZX Nu on the Speccy [2016-11-20 20:10:05 CET] no, completely different. [2016-11-20 20:10:20 CET] look in the web for vdrive2 [2016-11-20 20:10:45 CET] rs component is selling it for 21 eur [2016-11-20 20:11:10 CET] I see a vDrive 3 [2016-11-20 20:11:21 CET] supposed to be direct replacememnt [2016-11-20 20:11:23 CET] more or less the same. [2016-11-20 20:12:17 CET] twoo weeks ago i ve bought an ebike. [2016-11-20 20:12:44 CET] 20"tires. [2016-11-20 20:13:20 CET] a folding bikee. [2016-11-20 20:13:22 CET] I hear good things about those. How far will it go? [2016-11-20 20:13:46 CET] about 30km by manual. [2016-11-20 20:14:03 CET] quite nnice annd funny. [2016-11-20 20:14:10 CET] How long to recharge? [2016-11-20 20:14:17 CET] but now i got a serious pbl. [2016-11-20 20:14:31 CET] pbl with recharging. [2016-11-20 20:14:46 CET] it doesnt charge at all. [2016-11-20 20:15:02 CET] Is it under warranty? [2016-11-20 20:15:04 CET] tomorrow i will phone the distributor. [2016-11-20 20:15:17 CET] warr for 1 yaer. [2016-11-20 20:15:26 CET] year [2016-11-20 20:15:28 CET] You should be OK [2016-11-20 20:16:08 CET] Is it easy to pedal normally? [2016-11-20 20:16:09 CET] th li-batteery has 36v (10 li-cells) and 10 ah.. [2016-11-20 20:16:25 CET] pedal is easy. [2016-11-20 20:16:44 CET] So motor and battery doesnt add too much weight [2016-11-20 20:16:47 CET] 6 gears. [2016-11-20 20:17:05 CET] total weight is 21kg [2016-11-20 20:17:20 CET] Thats nothing. Bag of shopping [2016-11-20 20:17:48 CET] price was reasonable, 699eur. [2016-11-20 20:18:12 CET] Will you use it a lot or is it for fun? [2016-11-20 20:18:50 CET] i use a bike for driving to the supermarket several times a week. [2016-11-20 20:19:14 CET] Is potsdam hilly or flat? [2016-11-20 20:19:16 CET] i vee a nrmal folding bike. [2016-11-20 20:19:27 CET] completely flat. [2016-11-20 20:19:46 CET] Thats not too bad. I live in a hilly place [2016-11-20 20:19:50 CET] 75m over sea levvel. [2016-11-20 20:19:56 CET] What make is your ebike [2016-11-20 20:20:07 CET] nonamee. [2016-11-20 20:20:14 CET] china. [2016-11-20 20:20:50 CET] but the distributor is iin gernany. [2016-11-20 20:21:25 CET] I see noname in germany but no ebike. Everything is made in china today [2016-11-20 20:23:13 CET] volkswagen will reduce its personnel by 25.000 workers. [2016-11-20 20:23:27 CET] during next 5 years. [2016-11-20 20:23:57 CET] they said that e-cars doont need much workers. [2016-11-20 20:24:50 CET] Thats not good, and if they dont have access to UK market they may lose more. I heard 20% of german made cars are sold here [2016-11-20 20:25:32 CET] what are the most used cars in uk? [2016-11-20 20:25:42 CET] gm? [2016-11-20 20:25:43 CET] Counted cards when i drove to Plymouth last week. 30 german, 15 french and 5 others out of 50 we passed [2016-11-20 20:26:31 CET] VW, BMW, Audi, then French and Vauxhall (GM) [2016-11-20 20:26:49 CET] The Golf and Passat are big sellers [2016-11-20 20:27:05 CET] those geman cars are very expensive. [2016-11-20 20:27:26 CET] no japanese or korean? [2016-11-20 20:27:28 CET] Yes and will be even more expensive after Brexit. [2016-11-20 20:27:51 CET] mazda is quite popular here. [2016-11-20 20:27:53 CET] Yes off course jap and Korean but by far its German and french [2016-11-20 20:28:12 CET] citroen or renault? [2016-11-20 20:28:44 CET] Peugeot, Remault then Citreon [2016-11-20 20:29:20 CET] those cars are the abssolute minority here. [2016-11-20 20:29:51 CET] Lots here. But French cars are.... quirky... strange design concepts [2016-11-20 20:30:12 CET] My company has moved from Peugeots to VW [2016-11-20 20:30:26 CET] there are now british cars (except vauxhall)? [2016-11-20 20:31:06 CET] Ford? Also Honda and Nissan build cars here. Not british, but british designed and made [2016-11-20 20:31:18 CET] will brexit push the british car industry? [2016-11-20 20:31:26 CET] Oh, land rover and jaguar [2016-11-20 20:32:19 CET] Well, if Europe decides it doesnt want to trade with UK, we will need to buy from other places - Japan/Korea or increase car production in the UK [2016-11-20 20:32:24 CET] jaguar is like porsche, isnt it? [2016-11-20 20:32:54 CET] Similar. jaguar is more very luxurious high value cars [2016-11-20 20:33:00 CET] same price segment. [2016-11-20 20:33:07 CET] Oh yes. [2016-11-20 20:33:16 CET] I had a Porche once [2016-11-20 20:33:42 CET] It was rotten with rust so we put the engine into an 1100 Beetle [2016-11-20 20:34:00 CET] Drum brakes and cross ply tyres. It was scarey [2016-11-20 20:34:01 CET] was it possiible? [2016-11-20 20:34:45 CET] Yes, We had to use the Porche thrust bearing for the clutch, change polarity of the battery and cut down the porche exhaust to fit in the beetle [2016-11-20 20:34:48 CET] i mean to build the engine into a beetle. [2016-11-20 20:35:22 CET] Yes, there was a german who ran a garage specialising in Beetles. he said no - cant be doen. [2016-11-20 20:35:28 CET] to chaange the polarity? [2016-11-20 20:35:37 CET] not minus at ground? [2016-11-20 20:35:40 CET] After we did it we wend up and asked him to check the tick-over [2016-11-20 20:36:01 CET] Yes, Beetle as negative earth, porch positive earth [2016-11-20 20:36:18 CET] surpriising. [2016-11-20 20:36:48 CET] Positive earth is better but causes more corrosion. [2016-11-20 20:37:12 CET] why it should be better? [2016-11-20 20:37:24 CET] Thye porche as 2.5 Litre flat four. Same layout as beetle but much faster [2016-11-20 20:38:39 CET] It is partly a matter of convention and standards, and partly because positive earth encourages galvanic corrosion* of the surrounding bodywork - whearas with negative earth is is the much-easier-to-replace electrical contacts that corrode. [2016-11-20 20:39:29 CET] Thats from Google. My Norton is +ve earth. Triumph is -ve earth [2016-11-20 20:39:59 CET] the speccy psu is also very special for germmans. [2016-11-20 20:40:24 CET] Yes, I wonder how many boards were blown by using 'normal' PSUs [2016-11-20 20:40:45 CET] the connnectr is convers. [2016-11-20 20:40:54 CET] plus ooutside. [2016-11-20 20:41:15 CET] Clive must have got a lot of cheap PSUs [2016-11-20 20:41:44 CET] Did Roko sort the enigma software? [2016-11-20 20:42:05 CET] the weather here is terrible. [2016-11-20 20:42:38 CET] Any trees down. One tree snapped at 1 Metre and a big branch on the OAK tree falling off [2016-11-20 20:42:46 CET] roko: i didnt hear something about his project fo a while. [2016-11-20 20:43:16 CET] Any snow yet? Just rain anfd wind and cold here [2016-11-20 20:43:24 CET] no sno [2016-11-20 20:43:29 CET] snow. [2016-11-20 20:43:52 CET] temperature is between 2 and 10 celsius. [2016-11-20 20:44:01 CET] Same here. Not the weather for cycling [2016-11-20 20:44:12 CET] right. [2016-11-20 20:44:29 CET] Do you need a helmet or license or insurance [2016-11-20 20:45:11 CET] no. neither liicense norinsurance. [2016-11-20 20:46:00 CET] I may have to go in a minute heinz, my stomach is making lots of noises [2016-11-20 20:46:15 CET] the lw is so that the electric engine must stop if one stops peedaling. [2016-11-20 20:46:24 CET] o.k. [2016-11-20 20:46:39 CET] nexxt sunday? [2016-11-20 20:46:57 CET] Yes, definitely.
