[2019-07-21 20:10:38 CEST] No, they are open hardware from the Web.

[2019-07-21 20:12:00 CEST] Dandanator is just a Speccy Eprom loader. [2019-07-21 20:12:15 CEST] Opus is an early 3.5 Inch floy system [2019-07-21 20:12:42 CEST] I loved my opus but its poorly, so a new interface will be good [2019-07-21 20:12:52 CEST] *floppy [2019-07-21 20:13:36 CEST] i see, funny name, dandanator [2019-07-21 20:14:01 CEST] It was named after dan dare.

[2019-07-21 20:16:07 CEST] Yes, Heinz was telling me about using a raspi for WIFI with H4th [2019-07-21 20:16:14 CEST] i now found some time to fire up the h4th irc code for longer lines.. [2019-07-21 20:16:29 CEST] (so i hope they are ok!) [2019-07-21 20:17:03 CEST] Is that a bigger buffer? We had to cut out chat short last week because Heinz's Zeddy was being a problem [2019-07-21 20:17:03 CEST] yes the irc code for the raspi didnt play well with the zxq server.. [2019-07-21 20:17:28 CEST] Are you using a Zeddy just now? [2019-07-21 20:18:42 CEST] YES THE PREVIOUS VERSION HAD THE STANDARD 63 CHAR BUFFER AND SOMETIMES A LARGE OR LARGER PART OF IT IS USED BY A MESSAGE HEADER OR MESSAGE ITSELF..

[2019-07-21 20:23:42 CEST] Oh dear, are you on a zeddy or zxnu? [2019-07-21 20:23:51 CEST] well it worked for a while [2019-07-21 20:24:09 CEST] Yes, Im forever impressed what the little doorstop can do. [2019-07-21 20:24:19 CEST] i have an old zeddy and a zxmore [2019-07-21 20:24:21 CEST] Love the ZX NU and H4th [2019-07-21 20:24:28 CEST] I have a ZX More too [2019-07-21 20:24:31 CEST] the former is barely useable, [2019-07-21 20:24:34 CEST] i see! [2019-07-21 20:24:37 CEST] I could never take to it though [2019-07-21 20:24:50 CEST] what do you mean? [2019-07-21 20:25:18 CEST] Well, the ZX NU is a joy to use, especially with memory stick load/save [2019-07-21 20:25:42 CEST] But the ZX More seems unfinished and takes more effor to do anything with it [2019-07-21 20:26:13 CEST] its usb interface works quite well? [2019-07-21 20:26:13 CEST] What I do have is ZX81 and ZX80 roms that can be run from a ZX Spectrum [2019-07-21 20:26:45 CEST] The ZX More USB? But there were places I couldnt get it to save or load [2019-07-21 20:27:05 CEST] what kind of places? [2019-07-21 20:27:16 CEST] Its been a while... [2019-07-21 20:27:23 CEST] When running a Speccy ROM [2019-07-21 20:28:04 CEST] Im am trying to think where else, maybe I should look at it again [2019-07-21 20:28:22 CEST] Does the ZX80 load/save to USB? [2019-07-21 20:28:53 CEST] a speccy rom on the zxmore.. perhaps zsolts rom? [2019-07-21 20:29:06 CEST] I think so [2019-07-21 20:29:21 CEST] As I said, I stopped using it about a year ago [2019-07-21 20:29:36 CEST] yes it is available for the zxmore, ill look it up if you like? [2019-07-21 20:30:01 CEST] Please, I'd like that [2019-07-21 20:30:27 CEST] Is Pokemon still developing the ZX More? [2019-07-21 20:30:53 CEST] on the german forum it is in the zx80 section [2019-07-21 20:31:11 CEST] ZX80 ROM? [2019-07-21 20:31:24 CEST] well he seems busy with other things.. [2019-07-21 20:31:43 CEST] yes indeed! [2019-07-21 20:32:04 CEST] LOL, I see Dr Beep has got hires running on ZX80. [2019-07-21 20:32:35 CEST] Found it and downloading now [2019-07-21 20:32:39 CEST] who needs a zx81 ;-) [2019-07-21 20:33:48 CEST] Yes, almost 40 years old. Other PCs come and go but the ZX keeps on running [2019-07-21 20:34:38 CEST] When did you learn chinese? I downloaded the ZIP then saw a TXT file. [2019-07-21 20:35:01 CEST] Realised it was the rom when I opened it in an editor [2019-07-21 20:35:08 CEST] Are both the same [2019-07-21 20:35:13 CEST] on my first pc the power supply gave up, i managed to repair it but a few years ago it gave up again ;-( [2019-07-21 20:36:06 CEST] Yes, Im still supporting the old PCs at work. Its only Dells that give problems with blowing capacitors [2019-07-21 20:36:16 CEST] which are the same? [2019-07-21 20:36:33 CEST] do they go exploding? [2019-07-21 20:36:36 CEST] Thye two files on the forum. One is a zip and the other a .TXT [2019-07-21 20:37:00 CEST] Dells, yes all the time. The company I work for is French and they would only use Dells [2019-07-21 20:37:22 CEST] the txt will be the rom. the name is text because sometimes dangerous extensions are not allowed.. [2019-07-21 20:37:25 CEST] We managed to break away a year or so ago and the HP and Lenovos are fine [2019-07-21 20:37:49 CEST] OK, thinks.
