[2018-01-07 19:56:18 CET] <rune> HELLO HEINZ, nice and early?
[2018-01-07 20:03:47 CET] <heinz> hello dave. i wish you a happy new year.
[2018-01-07 20:04:06 CET] <rune> same to you, lets hope this is a good year
[2018-01-07 20:04:21 CET] <heinz> yes.#let hope o.
[2018-01-07 20:04:25 CET] <heinz> so.
[2018-01-07 20:04:36 CET] <heinz> some news?
[2018-01-07 20:05:02 CET] <rune> Me, yes I have around 4 projects on the go. All various stages
[2018-01-07 20:05:23 CET] <heinz> which ones?
[2018-01-07 20:05:35 CET] <rune> 1 - Eprom converter - I bought two boards from Dan Moore. Waiting for SMD header pins
[2018-01-07 20:06:10 CET] <heinz> what the converter is doing?
[2018-01-07 20:06:23 CET] <rune> 2 - Building ZX Max 48. Basically harlequin using CPLD instead of all those 74 series chips. Problem programming CPLD but rest is built
[2018-01-07 20:06:48 CET] <rune> 3 - Got some old cherry keyboards to build nice ZX keyboards
[2018-01-07 20:07:02 CET] <heinz> who has develloped this cpld?
[2018-01-07 20:07:28 CET] <rune> 4 - Another one I cant remember...... yes, to build a unit with ZX81, ZX Spectrum and C64 in one case
[2018-01-07 20:07:43 CET] <rune> 5 - Tidy up my shed and parts
[2018-01-07 20:07:44 CET] <heinz> why?
[2018-01-07 20:08:20 CET] <rune> Why not? I cant have lots of computers out at once, so one box with all in sol ves the problem
[2018-01-07 20:08:36 CET] <heinz> i have finished one project: speech wih h4th.
[2018-01-07 20:08:55 CET] <rune> Cool, does it use a 16 K rom?
[2018-01-07 20:09:29 CET] <rune> Im still working on H4th ROM
[2018-01-07 20:09:34 CET] <rune> disassembly
[2018-01-07 20:09:35 CET] <heinz> are these 4 computers just in a common box or are they conncted vie versa?
[2018-01-07 20:10:17 CET] <rune> Some things can be shared like the PSU, but Keyboards will be different as will video out
[2018-01-07 20:10:29 CET] <heinz> i see.
[2018-01-07 20:11:01 CET] <rune> Im going to use ZXPand and old IF1BIS plus C64 SD card for input
[2018-01-07 20:11:32 CET] <heinz> hardware for speeech project: zx81 with 16k rom, external vdrive, soundcard and speech chip.
[2018-01-07 20:11:57 CET] <heinz> 16k rom with h4th and vdrive support.
[2018-01-07 20:12:32 CET] <heinz> about 2500 bytes program
[2018-01-07 20:12:41 CET] <rune> Sounds good, you need to send pics
[2018-01-07 20:13:03 CET] <heinz> the program is in the forum.
[2018-01-07 20:13:14 CET] <heinz> pics will be sent.
[2018-01-07 20:13:33 CET] <rune> Im looking at Acornsoft forth on BBC just now, but not as good as H4th and nowhere near as good as ZX Speccy forth
[2018-01-07 20:14:02 CET] <rune> Oh, two more projects. 
[2018-01-07 20:14:19 CET] <heinz> next: yesterday i got the vrivezx from charles in new zealand.
[2018-01-07 20:14:24 CET] <rune> 6 - Memory card for BBC, just because it was in it when I bought the thing
[2018-01-07 20:14:48 CET] <heinz> mmcard is working?
[2018-01-07 20:14:54 CET] <rune> 7 - Using a raspberry PI to add 2nd processor to BBC. It can then run ZX Speccy and ACE emulators
[2018-01-07 20:15:29 CET] <heinz> do you know the ax81 projectc
[2018-01-07 20:15:32 CET] <rune> I think so, its just missing 40 way cable. I got the IDC headers and some IDE HDD cable to make one
[2018-01-07 20:15:42 CET] <rune> for the BBC/
[2018-01-07 20:15:54 CET] <heinz> goood luck.
[2018-01-07 20:16:06 CET] <rune> I will be busy for years
[2018-01-07 20:16:26 CET] <rune> What ZX81 Projects?
[2018-01-07 20:16:26 CET] <heinz> no wife and no dog are needed.
[2018-01-07 20:16:41 CET] <rune> Nope, just a tent and power lead
[2018-01-07 20:16:51 CET] <heinz> not zx81 but ax81
[2018-01-07 20:17:18 CET] <rune> Never heard of AX81
[2018-01-07 20:17:22 CET] <rune> what is it
[2018-01-07 20:18:42 CET] <heinz> it was a project 4 years ago. he ax81 is based on atmega microcontroller and can emulate the zx81, the zx spectrum and the jupiter ace.
[2018-01-07 20:19:02 CET] <heinz> look into the forum for ax81.
[2018-01-07 20:19:14 CET] <heinz> i cn send some pics.
[2018-01-07 20:19:23 CET] <rune> Sounds interesting, atmega isnt expensive. I'll need to investigate further
[2018-01-07 20:19:32 CET] <rune> Please, did you build one
[2018-01-07 20:19:55 CET] <heinz> i have still an empty board, if you want to have an 8th project.
[2018-01-07 20:20:48 CET] <rune> If I live long enough I will contact you... I have lots to do just now thanks
[2018-01-07 20:20:51 CET] <heinz> loadingg/saving to sd-card.
[2018-01-07 20:21:19 CET] <rune> I've got a couple of spare raspberry pis.
[2018-01-07 20:21:37 CET] <rune> Maybe make more sense to use one of those
[2018-01-07 20:21:50 CET] <heinz> how do you use the raspis?
[2018-01-07 20:22:34 CET] <rune> I have one with an emulator for just about every PC and games console on it - Retro Pi - It works really well.
[2018-01-07 20:22:45 CET] <rune> Biggest problem is keyboards
[2018-01-07 20:22:53 CET] <rune> all a little different
[2018-01-07 20:22:57 CET] <heinz> i have one as media player.
[2018-01-07 20:23:25 CET] <rune> I have ZX Spectrum and Mame running 
[2018-01-07 20:23:44 CET] <heinz> did you hear about the vrivezx?
[2018-01-07 20:23:52 CET] <rune> I have an Android box for the media player,
[2018-01-07 20:23:53 CET] <heinz> vdrivezx
[2018-01-07 20:24:04 CET] <rune> No, tell me 
[2018-01-07 20:24:21 CET] <heinz> look ino the web.
[2018-01-07 20:24:35 CET] <rune> I did, udrive emulator
[2018-01-07 20:24:43 CET] <heinz> right.
[2018-01-07 20:24:55 CET] <heinz> i got one yesterday.
[2018-01-07 20:25:09 CET] <rune> Looks good, what capacity are they?
[2018-01-07 20:25:49 CET] <heinz> they can be used as replacement of the real microdrives.
[2018-01-07 20:26:02 CET] <rune> So you need a real IF1?
[2018-01-07 20:26:23 CET] <heinz> each sd- card can emulte upto 8 drives (126kb each).
[2018-01-07 20:26:28 CET] <rune> Im looking through the spec, they support 128K as well as 48K - thats handy
[2018-01-07 20:26:40 CET] <heinz> yes, real if1 is necc.
[2018-01-07 20:26:53 CET] <rune> How easy is it to get one of those?
[2018-01-07 20:27:32 CET] <heinz> i paid 45 gbp plus shipping plus 10 euro taxis.
[2018-01-07 20:27:53 CET] <rune> Thats not too bad.
[2018-01-07 20:28:03 CET] <heinz> shipping from nz was 10euro.
[2018-01-07 20:28:17 CET] <heinz> took 5 weeks.
[2018-01-07 20:28:46 CET] <rune> Half way around the world... So not too bad or exp-ensive
[2018-01-07 20:28:49 CET] <heinz> do yo ave  real if1?
[2018-01-07 20:28:55 CET] <rune> No
[2018-01-07 20:28:58 CET] <heinz> have
[2018-01-07 20:29:13 CET] <rune> I have an IF/2 
[2018-01-07 20:29:13 CET] <heinz> then it s nothing for you.
[2018-01-07 20:29:24 CET] <heinz> not o interesting.
[2018-01-07 20:29:28 CET] <heinz> so
[2018-01-07 20:29:43 CET] <rune> Only if you want to run ZX81 emulator on cartridge
[2018-01-07 20:30:07 CET] <heinz> mpossible ;-)
[2018-01-07 20:30:35 CET] <rune> No, its available
[2018-01-07 20:30:48 CET] <rune> I saw it somewhere
[2018-01-07 20:31:00 CET] <heinz> bokje wrote a short program in forth to ranslte dec numbers into roman ones.
[2018-01-07 20:31:04 CET] <heinz> nice.
[2018-01-07 20:31:18 CET] <rune> Guy who sid is has some fruit in his name
[2018-01-07 20:31:20 CET] <heinz> translate
[2018-01-07 20:31:39 CET] <heinz> ??
[2018-01-07 20:31:40 CET] <rune> Roman numerals, I was doing that on the holidays.
[2018-01-07 20:31:59 CET] <heinz> he too, just for fun.
[2018-01-07 20:32:10 CET] <heinz> largest number is 3999.
[2018-01-07 20:32:11 CET] <rune> I cant remember the name of guy who did the carts with zx81 emulator, but his name had some sort of fruit in it
[2018-01-07 20:32:36 CET] <rune> Yes, unless you use the BAR over the number which multiplies by 1000
[2018-01-07 20:32:52 CET] <rune> Maybe not real roman though
[2018-01-07 20:33:26 CET] <heinz> i had a look into wikipdia fo larger romn numeras.
[2018-01-07 20:33:49 CET] <rune> Also no 0
[2018-01-07 20:34:06 CET] <rune> because romans used numbers for trade and npot so much for math
[2018-01-07 20:34:11 CET] <rune> not
[2018-01-07 20:34:58 CET] <rune> Can the prog translate both ways?
[2018-01-07 20:34:59 CET] <heinz> did you ply with he speech chipc
[2018-01-07 20:35:18 CET] <rune> No, my zx 81 is still in the cupboard
[2018-01-07 20:35:19 CET] <heinz> no, one a.
[2018-01-07 20:36:07 CET] <heinz> h sspeec card un on both, x81 n zx spectrum.
[2018-01-07 20:36:17 CET] <heinz> the speech
[2018-01-07 20:36:19 CET] <rune> I bought some small speakers to use with the soundcard, project #9 - get them working
[2018-01-07 20:36:41 CET] <heinz> sondcd?
[2018-01-07 20:36:53 CET] <heinz> soundcard? for music?
[2018-01-07 20:37:16 CET] <rune> Yes, musical notes and different effects - attack / decay etc
[2018-01-07 20:37:26 CET] <heinz> i see.
[2018-01-07 20:38:00 CET] <rune> then my speaker stopped working, so I didnt get another until just before christmas.
[2018-01-07 20:38:31 CET] <rune> But weverything attached on the back is a mess - so the reason I want it all into a single box
[2018-01-07 20:39:17 CET] <heinz> what size will the ox have?
[2018-01-07 20:39:58 CET] <rune> amplifier, speakers, SD data card. Maybe put a raspberry pi in to emulate other computers
[2018-01-07 20:40:20 CET] <rune> Do you know Sir Morris?
[2018-01-07 20:40:43 CET] <heinz> do you have the emulating sotware?
[2018-01-07 20:40:45 CET] <rune> He does SD cards for the BBC at 5.00 each. You can make them yourself for about 1.00
[2018-01-07 20:41:03 CET] <rune> Yes, on raspi. Its called RetroPi - 
[2018-01-07 20:41:36 CET] <heinz> could ou send he pogam to ?
[2018-01-07 20:41:45 CET] <rune> Oh, I got a professional bench power supply
[2018-01-07 20:42:00 CET] <rune> Yes, off course. Its not a ]
[2018-01-07 20:42:21 CET] <rune> its an operating system thats on an SD card. I'll sort it out this week
[2018-01-07 20:42:39 CET] <heinz> thank you.
[2018-01-07 20:42:48 CET] <rune> I'll make a copy of the one Im using which is already set up
[2018-01-07 20:42:51 CET] <heinz> and let us stop for tody.
