[2019-03-03 19:54:49 CET] * rune joined [2019-03-03 19:58:49 CET] * heinz joined [2019-03-03 19:58:59 CET] hello dave [2019-03-03 20:09:14 CET] Hello Heinz [2019-03-03 20:09:30 CET] Whats happening in zeddyland [2019-03-03 20:10:39 CET] the the flurry before mahlerts is going up. [2019-03-03 20:10:54 CET] Yes, I was looking on the zx team forum [2019-03-03 20:11:00 CET] interesting talks have been announced. [2019-03-03 20:11:19 CET] I see you are presenting the ALU [2019-03-03 20:12:02 CET] yrs, but more interesting is holmatics talk about wlan. [2019-03-03 20:12:25 CET] WLAN would be very useful. We dont have ethernet now [2019-03-03 20:12:31 CET] In my house anyway [2019-03-03 20:12:47 CET] no lan? [2019-03-03 20:13:15 CET] yes, I have LAN but only thing that uses it is connection to TV. everything else is Wifi [2019-03-03 20:14:07 CET] I think I spotted a typo on the H4th Image [2019-03-03 20:14:09 CET] you dont have your own router? [2019-03-03 20:14:25 CET] Yes, but its awkward to use cables [2019-03-03 20:14:38 CET] i see. [2019-03-03 20:14:53 CET] Sorry, the ZXNU image. [2019-03-03 20:15:05 CET] my router is dict behind the pc, so i use lan. [2019-03-03 20:15:35 CET] direct [2019-03-03 20:15:51 CET] WiFi to connect the laptop to [2019-03-03 20:16:14 CET] router. Liz would shoult at me if I had a cable running across the floor [2019-03-03 20:16:23 CET] But Wifi speed is good [2019-03-03 20:16:38 CET] shout [2019-03-03 20:17:32 CET] yesterday i have read some articles about brexit. [2019-03-03 20:17:53 CET] english authors. [2019-03-03 20:18:08 CET] What subject? There are so many stories just now [2019-03-03 20:18:41 CET] do you know the journal spectator? [2019-03-03 20:19:13 CET] Thats one of the broadsheet newspapers. (Bigger than tabloid) . Yes I have heard of it [2019-03-03 20:19:55 CET] the issuer fraser nelson was the author of one of this articles. [2019-03-03 20:20:26 CET] he was trying to explain the british mentality. [2019-03-03 20:20:44 CET] That will be difficult [2019-03-03 20:21:00 CET] There is english, scots, welsh, irish and londoners [2019-03-03 20:21:09 CET] another was from brendam simms, univ of cambridge. [2019-03-03 20:22:15 CET] some news about the nu? [2019-03-03 20:22:15 CET] I found spectator website, fraser is talking about interview with Jacob Rees-Mogg [2019-03-03 20:22:57 CET] Yes, its running well. Great picture quality, H4th still fails now and again, but its very usable [2019-03-03 20:23:27 CET] why does it fails sometimes? dry joints? [2019-03-03 20:23:33 CET] I was looking at the help screen on the main menu. T [2019-03-03 20:24:05 CET] No software wise. H4th commands stop working. I type DIR and it just sits and does nothing. [2019-03-03 20:24:28 CET] I need to warm start, but few of the VDRIVES respond after that [2019-03-03 20:24:42 CET] this usually happens if the vdrive want to send something. [2019-03-03 20:24:47 CET] Sometimes I get it working again ny running a CLF command. [2019-03-03 20:25:02 CET] remove the stick and plug again. then prt. [2019-03-03 20:25:08 CET] Other times I need to power cycle the VDRIVE [2019-03-03 20:25:31 CET] Yes, stick out/in also works at times, but not every time [2019-03-03 20:26:15 CET] Another thing I see is, if I mistype a command, correct it and it looks OK, I still get bad command erros [2019-03-03 20:26:37 CET] errors. I think the correction must introduce some invisible character [2019-03-03 20:27:18 CET] that is right. i think the point is that the backshift is read as a sign and added to the written text. [2019-03-03 20:27:51 CET] But the main thing is, its very usable and fun to code [2019-03-03 20:28:35 CET] yes, it makes a lot of fun to use the command set for the vdrive using the send command. [2019-03-03 20:29:12 CET] Question, is it possible to use inverted characters? [2019-03-03 20:29:36 CET] for what reason?? [2019-03-03 20:29:44 CET] I guess the black bar separating the editor and console is a new window that has been reversed [2019-03-03 20:30:10 CET] For the reason of introducing some variety to on screen displayes [2019-03-03 20:30:26 CET] Or is it possible to redefine the character set [2019-03-03 20:30:35 CET] this bar can be used as a store to keep an program line. [2019-03-03 20:31:05 CET] How is it addressed? [2019-03-03 20:31:38 CET] I was reading its possible to define a number of new windows of different sizes [2019-03-03 20:31:51 CET] so they could be used for inverse text [2019-03-03 20:32:12 CET] i never have used windows. [2019-03-03 20:32:26 CET] but they are described in the manual. [2019-03-03 20:32:53 CET] also the use of this bar. [2019-03-03 20:33:00 CET] Yes. I want to try some machine code next. [2019-03-03 20:33:07 CET] this bar is called pad. [2019-03-03 20:33:36 CET] shift and 3 will store the activated line in the pad. [2019-03-03 20:33:46 CET] Really, I thought pad was 256 bytes long. The bar can only be 32 bytes. Or does is it bigger than it looks [2019-03-03 20:33:59 CET] shift and 2 is recalling from pad. [2019-03-03 20:34:38 CET] i think only one lin, 32 charcters. [2019-03-03 20:35:05 CET] I see it working. Never realised it could be used for that. [2019-03-03 20:35:43 CET] it is helpful if you want to edit a program. [2019-03-03 20:35:44 CET] Manual says the PAD is 64 bytes [2019-03-03 20:36:01 CET] Yes, thats my thing learned for today. thanks [2019-03-03 20:36:29 CET] shift and 4 is deleting a line. [2019-03-03 20:36:44 CET] shift and 9 inserts a new line. [2019-03-03 20:36:46 CET] 5 6 7 8 are arrows, 9 insert 0 delete [2019-03-03 20:36:59 CET] yes. [2019-03-03 20:37:41 CET] The console editing is a bit strange. After " you have to use arrows but "xxx or any comand you can backspace [2019-03-03 20:37:45 CET] shift and d and command name comes back with the adress of this command. [2019-03-03 20:38:39 CET] not getting shift D to work [2019-03-03 20:38:54 CET] try shift and d and init [2019-03-03 20:39:04 CET] Shift D gives a ' [2019-03-03 20:39:30 CET] shift and d gives an apostrophe. [2019-03-03 20:39:43 CET] Yes , then space and command [2019-03-03 20:39:45 CET] ? [2019-03-03 20:39:54 CET] right. [2019-03-03 20:40:32 CET] Do I need to print the value after that [2019-03-03 20:40:33 CET] the address is then on the stack. [2019-03-03 20:40:39 CET] Yes . [2019-03-03 20:40:42 CET] Got it [2019-03-03 20:40:43 CET] read it with dot u [2019-03-03 20:41:37 CET] Or just dot as every rom address is less than 32K [2019-03-03 20:41:52 CET] right. [2019-03-03 20:42:19 CET] i did not consider that. [2019-03-03 20:42:35 CET] Malherts, 4 weeks from now? Do you think any ZX NU PCBs will be on sale [2019-03-03 20:43:04 CET] no, as far as i know all pcbs are overselled. [2019-03-03 20:43:24 CET] i bought the last one one year ago. [2019-03-03 20:43:26 CET] Thats a shame. [2019-03-03 20:43:45 CET] i will ask holmatic for a new production. [2019-03-03 20:43:55 CET] Is there a design file? Im wondering if some could be ordered from China [2019-03-03 20:44:29 CET] yes, all documents and files belong to holmatic. [2019-03-03 20:44:37 CET] Not public domain? [2019-03-03 20:44:49 CET] no, as far as i know. [2019-03-03 20:45:20 CET] Ask Holmatic for a new production run then. There must be lots of people wanting one or two [2019-03-03 20:45:34 CET] whydo you want to have another nu? [2019-03-03 20:45:43 CET] Because I can. [2019-03-03 20:46:02 CET] For the fun of building it to go withthe keyboard Im making [2019-03-03 20:46:27 CET] How many do you have? He who dies with the most toys wins! [2019-03-03 20:47:04 CET] i have one built and one fresh. [2019-03-03 20:47:42 CET] and one fresh harlequin. [2019-03-03 20:47:47 CET] There you go... I would like another when they become available again. [2019-03-03 20:48:12 CET] i will not sell mine. [2019-03-03 20:48:21 CET] I've two Harlequin boards to build. They use the Altera chip and have an AY sound chip too [2019-03-03 20:48:23 CET] sorry. [2019-03-03 20:48:42 CET] harlequin 128k? [2019-03-03 20:48:43 CET] Thats Ok, I wouldnt ask you too sell. [2019-03-03 20:48:56 CET] No 48K but they can be converted to 128K easily [2019-03-03 20:49:37 CET] I also got a PCB to convert the old Harlequin to 128K [2019-03-03 20:49:42 CET] my harlequins cannot be extended to 128k and they dont have the ay on board. [2019-03-03 20:50:11 CET] All harlequins can be made 128K, even those without the sound chip [2019-03-03 20:51:07 CET] do they run with the 128k rom? [2019-03-03 20:51:26 CET] the toast rack rom? [2019-03-03 20:51:40 CET] The original 128K rom as far as I know. Not the Amstrad +2 roms [2019-03-03 20:51:57 CET] I'll try to find the instructions and send them to you [2019-03-03 20:51:58 CET] interesting. [2019-03-03 20:52:25 CET] so,#let us stop for today. [2019-03-03 20:52:38 CET] i want to watch carneval on tv. [2019-03-03 20:52:39 CET] OK, Talk next week [2019-03-03 20:52:48 CET] Bye for now [2019-03-03 20:52:51 CET] next week, definitely. [2019-03-03 20:52:58 CET] bye. [2019-03-03 20:52:59 CET] * rune quit (Leaving) [2019-03-03 20:53:04 CET] * heinz quit (EOT)
