[2017-07-02 20:03:17 CEST] No garden then [2017-07-02 20:03:28 CEST] no garden. [2017-07-02 20:03:41 CEST] next week im in athens. [2017-07-02 20:03:49 CEST] kebabs! [2017-07-02 20:03:50 CEST] 35 degrees. [2017-07-02 20:03:59 CEST] Wow! thats hot [2017-07-02 20:04:21 CEST] no kebab, octopus and lobster. [2017-07-02 20:04:34 CEST] itt is a wedding. [2017-07-02 20:04:44 CEST] Family wedding? [2017-07-02 20:05:15 CEST] yes, the sister of my daughter in law. [2017-07-02 20:05:41 CEST] Well have a good time. Dont take too much ouzo [2017-07-02 20:05:46 CEST] she is marrying a french from bordeay0ux. [2017-07-02 20:06:11 CEST] dancing zirtaki. [2017-07-02 20:06:23 CEST] Do they still smash the plates at the weddings [2017-07-02 20:06:28 CEST] do you know the movie sorbas? [2017-07-02 20:06:54 CEST] I think so, slightly different name... [2017-07-02 20:07:11 CEST] smashing plates is typical for germany. [2017-07-02 20:07:43 CEST] Really, I thought it was greek. Yes, Zorba the Greek in english [2017-07-02 20:08:01 CEST] right. [2017-07-02 20:08:02 CEST] Did you see "My big fat greek wedding"? [2017-07-02 20:08:30 CEST] no, but my son has recommended to watch it. [2017-07-02 20:08:32 CEST] Funny film about greek lady marrying non greek american [2017-07-02 20:08:50 CEST] e jewish? [2017-07-02 20:08:57 CEST] I think so [2017-07-02 20:09:17 CEST] In fact yes, his parent wer eout their depth when they met greek family [2017-07-02 20:09:38 CEST] Follow up film was nowhere nearly as good [2017-07-02 20:11:29 CEST] do you read the tlienhardt forum? [2017-07-02 20:12:18 CEST] No, I've been getting ho9me late from work and by the time I get dinner, dog walked, emails answered its time for bed [2017-07-02 20:12:34 CEST] Oh and I got a bottle of Spiced Rum yesterday :) [2017-07-02 20:12:57 CEST] there is a solutioon of the miniadventure "dining" for speccy. [2017-07-02 20:13:33 CEST] Dining? never heard of that [2017-07-02 20:13:48 CEST] very short butt nice. [2017-07-02 20:13:54 CEST] hhave a look. [2017-07-02 20:14:03 CEST] OK, will do. [2017-07-02 20:14:18 CEST] the solution is also in english. [2017-07-02 20:14:34 CEST] the game you could find in wos. [2017-07-02 20:15:51 CEST] I was reading an,article on floating point from Integer in Forth. It involves using a large number base and scaling up down. Also there were som integer functions that gave very good approximations for trig funtions [2017-07-02 20:16:12 CEST] But I cant find in my forth books, or Byte magazine. [2017-07-02 20:17:33 CEST] i wanted to draw circles in forth, so i wrote a square root pgm and also trig functions. [2017-07-02 20:17:47 CEST] all of them on one page. [2017-07-02 20:18:03 CEST] precision is two decimals. [2017-07-02 20:18:34 CEST] Was it one speccy with pixel or Zeddy with blocks [2017-07-02 20:18:36 CEST] did you try bokjes pseudographics? [2017-07-02 20:18:55 CEST] i wrote ir for h4th . [2017-07-02 20:18:59 CEST] No, I never did [2017-07-02 20:19:01 CEST] it [2017-07-02 20:19:39 CEST] OH, question... Is the ZX81 ROM in ZX NU got the Vdrive extensions or does it page in another ROM [2017-07-02 20:19:48 CEST] i could send you my rom image, it contains the graphics. [2017-07-02 20:20:26 CEST] vdrive uses another page, i think. [2017-07-02 20:21:00 CEST] Yes please. Im getting all working ROMS into a folder [2017-07-02 20:21:09 CEST] Downloading Dining from WOS [2017-07-02 20:21:28 CEST] but my version of vdrive+h4th works. [2017-07-02 20:21:41 CEST] on nu. [2017-07-02 20:22:36 CEST] can I get a copy, I can use the 8K NU ROM and ZX81 & another ROm [2017-07-02 20:22:52 CEST] That works for the stuff I've built so far [2017-07-02 20:23:32 CEST] Another question. What does the TB0A, TB0B etc mean when NU is booting [2017-07-02 20:24:12 CEST] i never have seen this. [2017-07-02 20:24:35 CEST] ask oliver. [2017-07-02 20:25:34 CEST] OK, My NU is sticking at TB0A [2017-07-02 20:27:09 CEST] how much did you pay for the minstrel? [2017-07-02 20:27:34 CEST] 20.00 for the board, I had to by some logic and other components. [2017-07-02 20:27:56 CEST] do you have a case for it? [2017-07-02 20:28:46 CEST] Yes, I am puting it in a ZX81 case. I've cut off the ZX81 and sanded it flat. WIll paint it white and add the orange ZX*0 logo [2017-07-02 20:29:21 CEST] I'll probably buy pokemons blue ZX80 keyboard to complete the look [2017-07-02 20:29:28 CEST] and for the nu? [2017-07-02 20:30:01 CEST] Its in a DKTroniks case. Fullsize keyboard and number pad [2017-07-02 20:30:12 CEST] errr.. maybe not number pad [2017-07-02 20:30:12 CEST] i have it in a zx81 case with a small window for the led display. [2017-07-02 20:30:53 CEST] Thats a good idea. Im thinking how to put a way to reset and change ROM (by jumper) [2017-07-02 20:31:41 CEST] reset by powering down. [2017-07-02 20:31:46 CEST] I built a perspex base to hold a ZX81 PCB [2017-07-02 20:31:50 CEST] pull the jack. [2017-07-02 20:32:03 CEST] Yes, but its nicer to press a button [2017-07-02 20:32:33 CEST] Also the PSU in the DK Troniks case is hard wired [2017-07-02 20:32:51 CEST] i see. [2017-07-02 20:32:55 CEST] so I have a reset button on the back plus an ON/OFF switch [2017-07-02 20:33:02 CEST] thhe a button is better. [2017-07-02 20:33:39 CEST] Retroleum sell lead extensions with on/off switches [2017-07-02 20:34:13 CEST] And I got one of thos addons for the Speccy that pligs into the poewr socket then the PSU in it. There an on/off switch on it [2017-07-02 20:35:53 CEST] do you have a working h4th? [2017-07-02 20:36:33 CEST] No, I get weird moire patterns at best [2017-07-02 20:36:49 CEST] My ideal will be on the ZX NU [2017-07-02 20:37:45 CEST] did you try burning the h4th image in place of the zx80 there? [2017-07-02 20:37:59 CEST] did it work? [2017-07-02 20:38:17 CEST] Yes, thats the best so far, but the screen is like a drug trip [2017-07-02 20:38:35 CEST] not clear? [2017-07-02 20:38:42 CEST] I did replace the ZX80 Rom with aszmic and that worked. [2017-07-02 20:38:54 CEST] Not even close to clear [2017-07-02 20:39:10 CEST] what kind of ram? [2017-07-02 20:39:21 CEST] Cyprus 32K [2017-07-02 20:39:31 CEST] should work. [2017-07-02 20:39:53 CEST] you should ask oliver. [2017-07-02 20:39:55 CEST] Yes, I think my probvlem was I was trying to do too much and doing everything badly [2017-07-02 20:40:24 CEST] Yep, Im going to finish Minstrel and then look at NU and notheing else [2017-07-02 20:40:26 CEST] oliver = holmatic on tlienhardt. [2017-07-02 20:40:45 CEST] Did he design the NU [2017-07-02 20:40:55 CEST] so, let us stop for today. [2017-07-02 20:41:13 CEST] OK, I enjoyed the chat tonight. very useful [2017-07-02 20:41:22 CEST] Goodnight [2017-07-02 20:41:24 CEST] next and overnext sunday im noot at homem [2017-07-02 20:41:28 CEST] home. [2017-07-02 20:41:34 CEST] not [2017-07-02 20:41:47 CEST] Let me know when you are back. [2017-07-02 20:41:58 CEST] ill do. [2017-07-02 20:42:00 CEST] bye. [2017-07-02 20:42:02 CEST] OK, bye [2017-07-02 20:42:09 CEST] * heinz quit (EOT) [2017-07-02 20:42:15 CEST] * rune quit (Leaving)
