My shed is in bits. I took down old lights to but up bigger ones and realised I didnt have tubes [2018-09-16 20:02:46 CEST] put up [2018-09-16 20:03:34 CEST] do you upgrade to leds? [2018-09-16 20:03:49 CEST] No 3 foot florescent tues [2018-09-16 20:04:15 CEST] Hopefully these wont buzz all the time [2018-09-16 20:05:26 CEST] last week ( bought a new motion detector for our vestibule, applicable for leds. [2018-09-16 20:05:51 CEST] very good, bright light with three leds of 7w each. [2018-09-16 20:05:57 CEST] led bulbs.

I managed to get it working again by reflashing the rom [2018-09-16 20:08:05 CEST] But I was wondering if he had done any more work. I feel we've been left with a promise unfulfilled [2018-09-16 20:08:08 CEST] you could ask him for assistance by e-mail. [2018-09-16 20:08:19 CEST] I did, but no response [2018-09-16 20:08:49 CEST] surprising. but he is very busy for the last couple of month. [2018-09-16 20:08:53 CEST] I have got a Speccy image running on the ZXMore now [2018-09-16 20:09:20 CEST] I did have H4th before it died but cant get it to run again [2018-09-16 20:09:42 CEST] i thought he would still devellope the speccy image?

[2018-09-16 20:13:20 CEST] quite funny, about the life of immigrants in england, they came in the middle of the 40ties. [2018-09-16 20:14:00 CEST] might be even more interesting for women. [2018-09-16 20:14:10 CEST] did liz read it? [2018-09-16 20:14:16 CEST] That was after the war? I watched Hurricane about Polish 303 squadron [2018-09-16 20:14:35 CEST] No, Liz watches soaps [2018-09-16 20:14:53 CEST] the story plays nowadays. [2018-09-16 20:15:13 CEST] it is a comedy novel. [2018-09-16 20:15:28 CEST] Sounds good I see it on Amazon [2018-09-16 20:15:33 CEST] appeared first in 2005.

[2018-09-16 20:18:36 CEST] wet [2018-09-16 20:19:01 CEST] new project: numerical coprocessing. [2018-09-16 20:19:09 CEST] Yes, I will take it to Spain in 2 weeks. Malaga is having bad storms just npw [2018-09-16 20:19:18 CEST] Using? [2018-09-16 20:19:31 CEST] i remember, i want to go to spain. [2018-09-16 20:19:43 CEST] have nice days and good food there. [2018-09-16 20:19:55 CEST] Yes, we are looking forward to it [2018-09-16 20:20:07 CEST] Now co-pro . tell me [2018-09-16 20:20:50 CEST] there was an old article in the happy computer journal from 1985 or so. [2018-09-16 20:21:25 CEST] someone had found it and has develloped a board for the speccy. [2018-09-16 20:21:42 CEST] but the rom has also to be changed. [2018-09-16 20:21:59 CEST] upto now it does not work, just crash. [2018-09-16 20:22:29 CEST] I sure the ZX Team guys will crack it [2018-09-16 20:22:33 CEST] i did the same for the zx81/h4th, and erik from nl wrote a modified rom. [2018-09-16 20:23:22 CEST] now i am waiting for the chip from honkong (for 5euro each). [2018-09-16 20:23:27 CEST] But isnt the ZX81/H4th working in series? [2018-09-16 20:23:35 CEST] What chips are needed [2018-09-16 20:24:00 CEST] arithmatic processor unit apu type am9511. [2018-09-16 20:24:10 CEST] arithmetic [2018-09-16 20:24:45 CEST] The BBC can use a Raspberry PI as a co-processor [2018-09-16 20:24:48 CEST] ypu could have a look to theforum. [2018-09-16 20:25:15 CEST] the am9511 is from 1983. really vintage. [2018-09-16 20:25:44 CEST] Then Acorm will have developed it [2018-09-16 20:25:51 CEST] Acorn [2018-09-16 20:26:58 CEST] a picture of my board is at the bottom of page 1. [2018-09-16 20:28:04 CEST] I doint see it [2018-09-16 20:28:15 CEST] benchmark test show a 30 times higher speed. [2018-09-16 20:28:37 CEST] look to spectrum. [2018-09-16 20:28:52 CEST] OK, im in zeddy [2018-09-16 20:28:54 CEST] then spectrum zx48. [2018-09-16 20:29:03 CEST] apu. [2018-09-16 20:30:14 CEST] the bokje-rom for zx81 is under "bastelei.zip" [2018-09-16 20:30:18 CEST] On the tielenhart forum [2018-09-16 20:30:24 CEST] right. [2018-09-16 20:30:49 CEST] Im not finding it just now [2018-09-16 20:31:13 CEST] ok. [2018-09-16 20:31:17 CEST] Now got it [2018-09-16 20:31:49 CEST] i will tell you more about it if i have the chip and first results. [2018-09-16 20:32:14 CEST] Does the Arm chip fit into the 24 pin socket? [2018-09-16 20:32:30 CEST] Did you desiggn the board? [2018-09-16 20:32:43 CEST] the board is designed in the way that it can be used for zx81 and spectrum mutually. [2018-09-16 20:33:13 CEST] yes, 24 socket and designed by me. [2018-09-16 20:33:41 CEST] Where do you get the boards printed? China? [2018-09-16 20:34:09 CEST] !he chip needs also 12v, for the zeddy generated by a step-up controler. [2018-09-16 20:34:45 CEST] I'd just blow everything up :( [2018-09-16 20:35:02 CEST] the board is originally a pio-board produced by one of our team members. [2018-09-16 20:35:40 CEST] hence it has a 40 pin socket and some more logic chips. [2018-09-16 20:36:07 CEST] OK, so you just use address and data lines for the APU [2018-09-16 20:36:11 CEST] i only need an address decoder ls138 ad the apu. [2018-09-16 20:36:25 CEST] right. [2018-09-16 20:36:48 CEST] and some more lines, realized by additionl wires. [2018-09-16 20:37:18 CEST] Its amazing how far you guys are taking the Zeddy/Spectrums. [2018-09-16 20:37:30 CEST] i hope that i have the apu at the end of this month (ebay, hongkong) [2018-09-16 20:37:58 CEST] Its been almost exactly 6 weeks everytime I have ordered this year [2018-09-16 20:38:10 CEST] ok. [2018-09-16 20:38:22 CEST] let us stop for today. [2018-09-16 20:38:38 CEST] OK, talk next week. I'll try to translate the articles [2018-09-16 20:38:40 CEST] Bye [2018-09-16 20:41:18 CEST] * rune quit (Leaving) [2018-09-16 20:41:28 CEST] * heinz quit (ping timeout)
