[2017-08-27 20:01:24 CEST] Do you have any pics or docs for wiring the Vdrive2 [2017-08-27 20:01:58 CEST] next week we will go to thuringian forest for some days. meeting friends. [2017-08-27 20:02:30 CEST] Ive heard of that forest. Is it where the germans abushed the roman army? [2017-08-27 20:03:27 CEST] no, this was in the teutoburg forest. [2017-08-27 20:03:52 CEST] OK, so is this the one with Martin Luther and the zeddy meet? [2017-08-27 20:04:02 CEST] right. [2017-08-27 20:04:28 CEST] luther has translated the bible into german there. [2017-08-27 20:04:39 CEST] from greek [2017-08-27 20:04:47 CEST] What was it before? latin? [2017-08-27 20:04:51 CEST] OK [2017-08-27 20:05:23 CEST] original it was greek. later latin. [2017-08-27 20:05:54 CEST] Are you sightseeing or is it all Zeddy stuff? [2017-08-27 20:06:05 CEST] so greek is the original source. [2017-08-27 20:06:34 CEST] we meet friends from the ubiversity. [2017-08-27 20:06:48 CEST] each year at another place. [2017-08-27 20:07:20 CEST] next year here in potsdam. [2017-08-27 20:07:25 CEST] So, you cannot go back to the same place twice [2017-08-27 20:07:46 CEST] My nights out at university were the same [2017-08-27 20:07:48 CEST] we could. [2017-08-27 20:08:22 CEST] did you find a cottaage on mull? [2017-08-27 20:09:07 CEST] Not yet, lots to choose from. But Liz is working all day until Tuesday and I dare not make a descision without her input [2017-08-27 20:09:30 CEST] good luck. [2017-08-27 20:09:37 CEST] vdrive? [2017-08-27 20:09:44 CEST] Thanks, Im looking forward to next year [2017-08-27 20:10:00 CEST] yes, the wiring diagram is very faded and small writing [2017-08-27 20:10:22 CEST] Do you have any pics or docs [2017-08-27 20:10:26 CEST] where you want to connect the vdrivec [2017-08-27 20:10:43 CEST] where do yuo ... [2017-08-27 20:11:16 CEST] I was going to use an edge connector into a perf board and attach the Vdrive onto the perf board. I also have spare RAM pack cases which would be nice [2017-08-27 20:11:57 CEST] twhat is a perf board? [2017-08-27 20:12:27 CEST] That board with copper track or solder eyes over perforations [2017-08-27 20:12:53 CEST] Used on your Vdrive for ZX Nu [2017-08-27 20:13:10 CEST] i see. nu. [2017-08-27 20:13:26 CEST] So if I [2017-08-27 20:13:30 CEST] wait a minute. [2017-08-27 20:14:36 CEST] do you have the original vdrive? [2017-08-27 20:14:41 CEST] Yes [2017-08-27 20:14:51 CEST] with coulred wires? [2017-08-27 20:15:06 CEST] coulored [2017-08-27 20:15:08 CEST] It connected to the serial port [2017-08-27 20:15:24 CEST] I thought this one could go onto the expansion port [2017-08-27 20:15:48 CEST] But yes, I have the info on my drive [2017-08-27 20:16:18 CEST] the nu has a socket between the power jack and the ear jack. [2017-08-27 20:16:30 CEST] right? [2017-08-27 20:16:35 CEST] Yes, 9 mine [2017-08-27 20:16:41 CEST] 9 pin [2017-08-27 20:16:59 CEST] i use a 10 pin socket. [2017-08-27 20:17:27 CEST] So did I but I blanked a pin off [2017-08-27 20:17:28 CEST] i will send you some pics. [2017-08-27 20:17:36 CEST] Perfect [2017-08-27 20:17:40 CEST] Thank you [2017-08-27 20:17:52 CEST] only 6 pins are used. [2017-08-27 20:18:37 CEST] OK, I'll need to check mine [2017-08-27 20:19:36 CEST] Cant find my docs, I'll look later [2017-08-27 20:20:02 CEST] i ll send you a pic. [2017-08-27 20:20:08 CEST] now. [2017-08-27 20:20:32 CEST] OK, looking at email [2017-08-27 20:23:48 CEST] I see it but cant it be connected to the edge connector? Is it just a matter of joining the two board? [2017-08-27 20:24:01 CEST] I'll send the doc Im working on [2017-08-27 20:24:40 CEST] why do you want to connect it to the egde conn? [2017-08-27 20:25:46 CEST] then I can use it on any ZX81 [2017-08-27 20:25:47 CEST] you dont have the lines miso etc there. [2017-08-27 20:26:06 CEST] What is the small board for? [2017-08-27 20:26:22 CEST] That has address lines, 1 data line IORQ etc [2017-08-27 20:26:35 CEST] Check email [2017-08-27 20:26:56 CEST] but in the nu you have already the driver. [2017-08-27 20:27:36 CEST] for a zx81 you must load extra drivers. [2017-08-27 20:27:37 CEST] This isnt for the NU, I have the Vdrive for that. This is for a real zeddy [2017-08-27 20:28:05 CEST] Yes, thats what I thought [2017-08-27 20:28:39 CEST] for a real zeddy you need an address decoder and drivers. [2017-08-27 20:29:07 CEST] Is the small board the address decoder? [2017-08-27 20:29:12 CEST] the address decoder is the small board whhich i ve sent to you. [2017-08-27 20:29:19 CEST] yes. [2017-08-27 20:29:24 CEST] Where do the drivers so? In 8-16K [2017-08-27 20:29:46 CEST] The ZXMore supports the VDrive [2017-08-27 20:29:57 CEST] i dont have drivers for zx81. only for h4th. [2017-08-27 20:30:31 CEST] I was hoping to use it on the ZXMore and possibly real Zx81 [2017-08-27 20:30:43 CEST] i think it is not the best idea to connect the vdrivee to the zx81. [2017-08-27 20:31:21 CEST] i dont know the zxmore. [2017-08-27 20:31:31 CEST] OK, then just for the ZXMore, although that does have SD card save and load, but only through the control application [2017-08-27 20:31:38 CEST] no idea hoow to connect the vdrive. [2017-08-27 20:32:01 CEST] OK, we can leave that subject for now. [2017-08-27 20:32:18 CEST] if the zxmoree has sd card, whyy an additional vdrive? [2017-08-27 20:32:54 CEST] The ZXMore has 512K ROM and RAM. This is divided into 8x64K blocks [2017-08-27 20:32:55 CEST] the vdrive fits perfect to the nu and to h4th. [2017-08-27 20:33:22 CEST] The first block runs the control program to switch between the others, load and save images etc [2017-08-27 20:33:44 CEST] for tthis machines it is optimal and the only way to conneect ssticks. [2017-08-27 20:33:55 CEST] The other 7 Blocks can run concurrently and have ZX80/81/Spectrum and eventually CP/M [2017-08-27 20:34:29 CEST] Im getting the 32K ram with the next Farnell order so should get H4th to run [2017-08-27 20:34:59 CEST] on zxmore? [2017-08-27 20:35:03 CEST] Yes [2017-08-27 20:35:20 CEST] sorry 32K ram for Nu [2017-08-27 20:35:31 CEST] is the a possibiliity to saave to sd cards under h4th? [2017-08-27 20:35:56 CEST] im confused. [2017-08-27 20:36:12 CEST] do we talk about nu or zxmore? [2017-08-27 20:36:33 CEST] I was talking ZX More, and your were talking Nu [2017-08-27 20:36:39 CEST] Tower of babel [2017-08-27 20:37:18 CEST] i see.. h4th + vdrive on zxmore? [2017-08-27 20:37:22 CEST] My Nu runs perfectly well with the VDrive, I just need to change RAM to 32K to get the H4th to work [2017-08-27 20:37:44 CEST] Yes, I want to use the 2nd Vdrive on the ZXMore [2017-08-27 20:37:59 CEST] under h4th? [2017-08-27 20:38:11 CEST] For H4th if possible [2017-08-27 20:38:33 CEST] is it already proved for the zxmore? [2017-08-27 20:38:51 CEST] Pokemon doesnt update the documents and I need to get the new features from messgae boards [2017-08-27 20:39:20 CEST] i will ask paul next week in wittenberg. [2017-08-27 20:39:34 CEST] I think it is, but he keepssaying the spectrum image will be on 1.8, 1.9 etc and I dont think its on the latest 2.1 [2017-08-27 20:39:38 CEST] hope he has a zxmore. [2017-08-27 20:40:02 CEST] Are you getting one? [2017-08-27 20:40:19 CEST] no, i dont waant one. [2017-08-27 20:40:50 CEST] the nu is enouugh for me. [2017-08-27 20:41:28 CEST] I need to sort the nu, PSU is causing interference with the amp/sound card. and I need to fix the speaker better [2017-08-27 20:41:56 CEST] But since I found that little piece of wire and removed it, it runs very well [2017-08-27 20:42:38 CEST] do you use the microdisk on nu? [2017-08-27 20:42:55 CEST] Not really, [2017-08-27 20:43:20 CEST] Id probably use it if I was doing any programming, but so far no forth... [2017-08-27 20:43:38 CEST] I just load games and demos just now [2017-08-27 20:43:47 CEST] the advantage: you dont connect the vdrive always, shhort pgms come from microdisk. [2017-08-27 20:44:12 CEST] Perfect for Forth [2017-08-27 20:44:28 CEST] but h4th does not support the microdisk. [2017-08-27 20:44:41 CEST] upto now. [2017-08-27 20:44:44 CEST] Aw, nooooo. [2017-08-27 20:45:00 CEST] You need to get modding [2017-08-27 20:45:24 CEST] You mentioned that the ROM can be expanded beyong 8K [2017-08-27 20:45:26 CEST] my chat-pgm here comes from microdisk. [2017-08-27 20:45:52 CEST] beyond [2017-08-27 20:46:07 CEST] no, did not mention. [2017-08-27 20:47:05 CEST] did you find the picture of the diode array? [2017-08-27 20:47:09 CEST] Sorry, thought you said that the mods to H4th were larger thean 8K and you needed to replace the tape routine with Vdrive to get it less than 8K [2017-08-27 20:47:12 CEST] diodes [2017-08-27 20:48:04 CEST] Yes, I have space to do the resistors the same way. Also found the resistor networks on Farnell at .20 each. minimum quantity is 2036 items [2017-08-27 20:48:40 CEST] 8k: two diffent problems. [2017-08-27 20:49:38 CEST] first: for a real zeddy with eprom it is possible to use 16k to extend h4th. [2017-08-27 20:50:02 CEST] second: for the nu one has to restrictt to 8k. [2017-08-27 20:50:56 CEST] wheree did you order your zxmore? [2017-08-27 20:51:05 CEST] Sell My Retro [2017-08-27 20:51:30 CEST] did you have contact with pokemon? [2017-08-27 20:51:40 CEST] Pokemon sells through that site. No, not yet [2017-08-27 20:51:56 CEST] I did speak to him a while ago [2017-08-27 20:52:07 CEST] But on other matters [2017-08-27 20:52:13 CEST] did you order thee compplete kit ? [2017-08-27 20:52:27 CEST] No just thye board, I had a lot of the parts [2017-08-27 20:52:59 CEST] you could ask him for he switch and other rare parts. [2017-08-27 20:53:00 CEST] Just needed some ICs and a handful of connectors etc [2017-08-27 20:53:40 CEST] All I need just now is the switch. I dont need it to use the ZXMore, it is only to manually switch to another ROM [2017-08-27 20:54:17 CEST] ive seen this tiny switcch on pokemons own board. [2017-08-27 20:54:18 CEST] I like filling in all the "holes" even if the item is never used [2017-08-27 20:54:56 CEST] do you use the three coulored led? [2017-08-27 20:55:06 CEST] Yes, that came with the board [2017-08-27 20:55:10 CEST] seven coulors? [2017-08-27 20:55:17 CEST] i see. [2017-08-27 20:55:35 CEST] looks funny. [2017-08-27 20:55:59 CEST] 7, I know you dont get black but he says a colour for ever 64K instance [2017-08-27 20:56:19 CEST] That makes 8 - but 3 colours off???? [2017-08-27 20:56:49 CEST] green red blue. [2017-08-27 20:57:00 CEST] and mixtures. [2017-08-27 20:57:14 CEST] gives 8 inccluded black. [2017-08-27 20:57:26 CEST] But he doesnt list black [2017-08-27 20:58:20 CEST] to get more coulors you could mix 0.5 red and 0.7 blue and 0.1 green e.g. [2017-08-27 20:58:55 CEST] as on a tv screen. [2017-08-27 20:59:14 CEST] Yes, I cant find the list in his build doc. it must be in the operations manual [2017-08-27 20:59:28 CEST] * bokje joined [2017-08-27 20:59:43 CEST] Hello Bokje [2017-08-27 20:59:54 CEST] ok. davve.
