ZXNet echo conference «hardware.zx»

From Andrey Vorontsov To All 2 October 2006

Hello, All Well, first of all, a picture: http://members.tripod.com/%7Epiters/pics/Speccy.jpg The coolest thing about it is the Spec board itself. And it still works :)! Now the question itself: this is the site of the notorious Pera Putnik, http://members.tripod.com/%7Epiters/zx.htm. His projects include two interesting things: connecting CF and IDEshnik for 16 and 8 (!) bits. What do you think - Do you need some kind of DOS thread for such subjects (TR, D+,...), or can you use them? apply on your own?

Hello rw6hrm rw6> Do you think such subjects need some kind of DOS thread (TR, rw6> D+,...), or can you use them yourself? Not needed. Can be used independently. There he has his own rum, with primitive axis (unloading, loading, snapshot).

Hello, ng_dead Ok, thanks, let's start playing... all that remains is to see what it is there in ROM corrected to transfer, for example, to Orel...

Hello rw6hrm rw6> Ok, thanks, let's start playing... all that remains is to see what he is rw6> corrected there in ROM to transfer, for example, to Orel... I have such a scheme. Memory card K9S1208VOM SAMSUNG - how to write and manage the map (not very English) explain to me briefly Please what signals to set and how to write the address into the microcircuit. I will record using the principle of an electronic disk on ROM, 2 kb per list program, and then programs in one block. File: Zxsmcipp.gif http://zx.pk.ru/attachment.php?attachmentid=3864

Hello pbogdan In confirmation of the words of ng_dead, the answer from Pera: Hi, Interfaces are not for D+ or TR-DOS. I use my own os, with simple load/save commands. There is appropriate ROM for each interface on site. You may replace Speccy ROM so that put EPROM with bigger capacity, and then program original ROM and disk ROM, and select with switch wich to use. ROMs are for 48K Speccy, but may work in 128K too - only that you will have 48K mode only with them. Regards, Pera 2pbogdan; This; old scheme. I switched from Smart Media Pen to CF because the latter's interface is very close to a regular IDE, which makes things much easier. Yes and the price on the used CF 128M market is quite low...
