Do you think I could run a ram expander and kun fu flas at the same time. I’m hoping to be able to run geos at a decent speed to do word processing/publishing activities but have access to files on sd (kung fu) at the same time.

Cool video. I have a pretty similar terminal, Ampex 219. It is black and white, not amber. Did you need to remove the top cover and adjust vertical and horizontal size of the CRT? On my terminal the picture is too big on both dimensions.

Es una lastima que hicieran tan poco software para aprovechar el C128, practicamente todo era para funcionar en C64.

Gotta like these Demos!

I agree..

They can't make a laptop that will last five years but vintage computers seem to run forever.. :)

I am working on a similar CP/M setup with Gotek but don't have the USB stick with all those great disk images. Is that downloadable from somewhere?

the silver one is rare

Got this with our Speccy 48K back when I was a kid and I never ever once tried it out. Tuning in to this video now, 40ish years later, to see what I missed out on back then...

Am geeking out. Only knew of Xenix and Trsdos-16 working with the 68k back in the day, this is awesome. Used the TRSDOS-16 assember some, but it had non-standard mnemonics wheras I think the Xenix one had standard ones. Awesome seeing on CP/M and the smooth scrolling.

It looks pretty good, unfortunately it's too fast. Almost unplayable for me. Also the resolution downgrade is a bit weird. Good effort though.

That scrolling looks like 120fps. It's a weird comparison, I know, but I love it

Not really running on an 8bit. However, still looks damn good. Some of the 3d models need more than one colour so the edges are defind 👍

If you are in need of an editor there are two microEmacs ports that run on this board.

i own a crt toshiba with teletext but it dont work no more sadley

This is reallt nice! I would love to try this, how is it connected to the C64? thanks!

Next project: new multi-user micro-mainframe, connect to a modem bank and give some of us shells on it. There is a concurrent CP/M. Not sure if that one is open source though.

Great 👍

0:39 but actually not. peoples has mind programmed something value get bigger somehow. underwear david hasselhoff weared is still just underwear LOL you can ask money only stupid pay. this thing only in world one of kind only 10 in world. yes yes. build something its one of kind but you cant sell it million LOL

Got an AP5 arriving in a couple of weeks and a copy of the co-pro version of Elite, only thing I can't find is the elk co-pro anywhere, can't see any on ebay or find any for sale on stardot, where could I get hold of one?

Hehehe - I look forward to the day when I can throw around Elk as I wish....

Hi Mark i ve been doing similar on my Beeb using TCPser with a Pi4. And a similar ANSI terminal program on the Beeb. I can log into the CLI on the Pi and work away. Incidentally when you going to use thst wimodem and login to my Viewdata BBS. It runs on a BBC Master. Its called Night Ow lBBS . Details are on Stardot , communications section. Cheers

clocked too fast to play, but nice experiment

Is any of the two cables null modem?

Awesome but agree about the colour/resolution. Elite was originally in MODE 4, maybe? This is MODE 2 (lower res, more colours). Great to see, thanks!! How about a black and white version in MODE 0 (highest res)?! Might have got my mode numbers wrong but its been 40 years!

Wish I'd paid more attention to this as a kid.

Appears to be a Raspberry Pi Zero W with the Combian64 tweaked version of Vice. www.raspberrypi.com/products/ cmaiolino.wordpress.com/

I would enjoy a teletext service, to be honest. I know it's wicked old-fashioned but I liked it. Somebody bring it back.

The garbage is probably due to flow control. You probably want hardware flow control, and you also want to ensure that the terminal type on the pi is set correctly. For example type export TERM="vt100" and also export LANG="C", so you don't get any utf-8 chars that the beeb can't understand.

Neat =D Always fun to do stuff like that!

Nice video. I also like to do this with my retro computers :) Check that your serial cable is shielded and good quality. That text garbage might be just connection interference.

Hmmm, so the Russel Brand story is political. Velly intelesting Mr. Marky.

I am obsessed with old machines that type documents. Could you demonstrait is by typing an article or maybe a story or something and save it as a text file? Does it have a text editor program?

not exactly 8bit if using a 1Ghz arm coprocessor is it?

ASCII/NRCS only? Pretty much junk.

CatChum!

Third try leaving some details. My comments somehow keep getting removed. If you can point me to some contact details Mark i can give you the DNS address. Everytime i put a link up it gets pulled.

Crackin' stuff Mark Just wondered if you fancied checking out my BBS. I know from watching that you like the odd bit of BBSing. It is still testing at present but will offer dialup and TCP/IP. It is a Viewdata Board (like Telstar) although hosted from a lone BBC Master. There is a about 200 pages of reading there and a sysop chat function. I set it up in the evenings only and at the moment . It's not every night but if you let me know if you fancy looking I will set it up ... cheers Brian

Nice bit of kit .

what could the dev have done to completely eliminate slowdown without sacrificing the amount of sprites (ya gotta have all the enemies..) just less detail? perhaps on the floor tiles? bricks without texture?

So cool...

Well! I recieved a couple of breadbins, and ofcourse there's always one stubborn one in the lot. That old girl refuses to accept the good old restore key, even when you're going full Shrek on her! So yeah, i'm also gonna switch out that cap. And to be absolutely sure, i'll also swap out the good old 7406. Those also cost almost next to nothing anyway!

Please explain how midi works on sidekick? Btw. This demo is awesome!

I just bought a pre-built Sidekick64 cartridge and a Pi3A for my C128D off ebay. It joins my A1000 with a Pistorm sitting right next to it. ;-) I never thought I'd see the day an 8-bit sounded better(potentially) than an Amiga. The screen isn't the selling point though as it's not as though you're using a menu on it like a Gotek or something. I did buy a cartridge relocator because the cartridge is a bit long and it would be better sitting upright. I should be able to see the little screen from the side for what it's worth. On it's own the midi doesn't sell it, the multi sid emulation might, especially as my C128D has blown its sid and it's a real pain getting inside the C128D to replace it.

Sat here with a stupid grin on my face remembering doing the type-ins! Machine code type-ins were simutaneously the best and killers. You'd wait a month for the mag to come out and then hours spent typing in hundreds of long "DATA" lines only to be rewarded with "CHECKSUM ERROR IN LINE...". Great learning experience. Fun times.

Yes.

Pretty cool!

if you can get the lower key stem out of the keyboard, you can used superglue + baking soda + supports to rebuild the key (so it wont break if you need to remove it agan), or you could (get someone else? or PCBway?) 3D print a replacement.

Does anyone have an 68008 Kiwi (with the MSX VDU) to try and boot CP/M 68k
