[2018-04-17 19:02:46 CEST] how are you? everything ok?? [2018-04-17 19:03:37 CEST] i have some viruses, in my head not my zeddy i hope and you? [2018-04-17 19:04:41 CEST] well, i am sick at home. no virus, but bakterias in my throat. but i am ok. and i have some time for the zx :-) [2018-04-17 19:05:23 CEST] yes so i also have a bit of time to be online :-) [2018-04-17 19:06:16 CEST] me too [2018-04-17 19:06:23 CEST] the meeting was great, thank you so much and everyone helping! [2018-04-17 19:07:31 CEST] there are so many new things. like MIDI. i build the midi interface, but it does not work yet. [2018-04-17 19:07:48 CEST] how far did you get? [2018-04-17 19:09:29 CEST] not yery far. i have the commodore64 with midi and my synthesier works fine. but the zx wont let any data thru. but next weekend (28.04) i will meet some guys in goettingen [2018-04-17 19:09:40 CEST] so we can fix that [2018-04-17 19:10:19 CEST] so the zx doesnt send anything? [2018-04-17 19:10:55 CEST] no. i thing i have a bug in the interface. [2018-04-17 19:11:21 CEST] is it with a serial interface? so there is no serial data? [2018-04-17 19:13:05 CEST] well, the serial interface works fine. but the midi-if get no data. so it has to be the midi-if. it is not so complicated. but i cant find the error. [2018-04-17 19:14:54 CEST] i dont know the midi-if, but it will be solved at or before 28.04 :) [2018-04-17 19:15:13 CEST] i think so too :-) [2018-04-17 19:15:54 CEST] any other projects? [2018-04-17 19:17:24 CEST] at the moment i am trying to get a zx-issue-one working. it has a internal 32kb-ram and four roms (zx81, zx80, azmic and husband-forth). but the forth will not work. i had to try some other things... [2018-04-17 19:18:57 CEST] so you got h4th working? [2018-04-17 19:21:45 CEST] yes, but not in this rom-constallation. i have ram at 48-64k. i have to change this. because there schould be the h4th. but i have a seperate zx81 with h4th and the vdrive (usb) working ;-) [2018-04-17 19:23:10 CEST] i prepared a h4th version that uses low memory only. but i have no ram pack to try if it works. would you be interested? [2018-04-17 19:23:41 CEST] of course. can you mail it to me? jens(at)zx81.de [2018-04-17 19:23:57 CEST] ok just a moment [2018-04-17 19:24:06 CEST] no hurry [2018-04-17 19:29:16 CEST] * betamax joined [2018-04-17 19:29:45 CEST] i have been thinking about ways h4th could connect to another machine with h4th, perhaps with zeddynet, but it is not easy [2018-04-17 19:29:53 CEST] hi betamax! [2018-04-17 19:31:40 CEST] hey beta [2018-04-17 19:32:31 CEST] h4th and net. very cool. heinz speaks forth very well. maybe he can help [2018-04-17 19:33:00 CEST] got the mail. thanx [2018-04-17 19:35:05 CEST] yes we could design a protocol, which is smaller than tnfs. it is fun to think of words that one forth could speak to another one ;-) [2018-04-17 19:42:25 CEST] hi [2018-04-17 19:42:31 CEST] An alle [2018-04-17 19:43:45 CEST] Jens, soll ich dir die roms schicken?
