From TYAX To All 14 May 2006

Hello, All I invite you to take part in the creation and promotion of the handheld ZX. For this purpose, the website zx-palm.narod.ru [http://www.zx-palm.narod.ru] was created, however the forum will be located here :v2_cheer:, if allowed.

Hello, TYAX +1

From Alexander Zan To All 15 May 2006

Hello, rasmer As always, it all comes down to the screen... Damn the Nintendo DS for the sake of such forgetfulness, forgive me... Better emulator for DS write (if it has not already been written).

From TYAX To All 15 May 2006

Hello fan fan> As always, everything comes down to the screen... fan> Beating up the Nintendo DS for the sake of such fun, forgive me... Better fan> write an emulator for DS (if it has not already been written). The coolest thing is that there are already enough screens from this console. The price ranges from $45 to $60. What's worse is that the specification is hidden. Let's wait for bourgeois crafts on these screens or look for an alternative to the price and... 256x192.. The rest is available in lower resolution. :v2_smoke:

Hello, TYAX 3k rubles (what I dug up)

From ASDT To All 15 May 2006

Hello, TYAX How will the issue with the screen be resolved... And so, the topic is interesting :)

From Alexander Zan To All 15 May 2006

Hello Orionsoft TYA> Price ranges from $45 to $60. It's worse that the specification is hidden. And in which offices are they sold and what eroglyphs are they called? Ori> what about the display from p900p910? A similar question is, in which offices are they sold and what eroglyphs are they called? ? Who knows how much screens from S40 and S60 cost (and what varieties happen)? In which offices are they sold?

Not serious. Marriage in appearance usually goes well in their own ways. We even have a terribly used GBA for less than $90.

Hello new art new> I would just take it to play. new> The Spectrum handheld is of interest only to hardware people. new> For the rest, a full-fledged emulator will be enough, and for DS there is more new> than you can really do. I am the iron worker. There are even a couple of articles about improvement in magazines of those years. Now the modern element base and resp. funds design. There is little time, but you can allocate an hour and a half to two hours a day for hobby. The magazine "Radio" refused(?) to consider such a device (revision for radio amateurs, i.e. storage oscilloscope, etc. quickly and with your own hands). On all requests no answers. I’ll go to the editorial office myself and with a ready-made device. True, I missed the moment of connecting hard drives and sidiroms to the Spectrum, but so up to date with events. I sculpted and upgraded the local clone "Gamma" to 128mi + a bunch improvements. I repaired a ZX with dead ULA ports... without replacing the chip. True, it was for a long time. Emulation on a handheld device is only of a disk drive... There are simply no such disk drives, but have hard drives or cf.. To All; By the way,; maybe let's decide on ports and interfaces, especially Winchester and SD-rom. Which ones exist? What's the difference? Which ones are generally accepted?

From TYAX To All 16 May 2006

Hello new art In general, it’s strange that there is no choice in St. Petersburg...

From Vyacheslav Kalinin To All 16 May 2006

Hello, TYAX TYA> If you take on the decryption, I’ll give you the exact address and details. I would just take it to play. The Spectrum handheld is of interest only to hardware people. For the rest, a full-fledged emulator will be enough, and for DS there is more of it what can actually be done.

Hello, TYAX TYA> True, I missed the moment of connecting hard drives and sidiroms to TYA> Spectrum, Yeah, nothing at all, the last 10 years... How many people do you think are on this forum and in general over the last 5 years? such Kulibins with the idea of a pocket spec? And where are they all?

From TYAX To All 16 May 2006

Hello new art new> Yeah, nothing at all, the last 10 years... new> How many people do you think are on this forum and in general over the last 5 years new> were there such Kulibins with the idea of a pocket spec? new> And where are they all? No, the drive was connected much later... than 10 years. At least in wide circles for sure. Although, there is nothing special in the scheme. Here is the software interfaced with this, yes.. There are many projects. As far as I know, they are of little use for a wide range of people or are expensive. Some were picked up from the fidosh echo and retired for further attempts at sculpting.. or retreated. I'm going to collect information (and, if possible, a diagram accessible to the general public) applications) suitable for zx-palm builders. Let them get ahead, but at least something the specific one will appear.

I abandoned this idea because of the terrible cost of the subject - i.e. final price for the user gets about $250 according to optimistic estimates... That is It’s easier to write an emulator for whatever PDA.

From Kamil Karimov To All 17 May 2006

Hello Ronin It seems to me that this is the ideal we should strive for: Sharp Zaurus SL-C3100 Description: Class: Linux PDA Operating system: Qtopia 1.5.4 (Linux Kernel 2.4.20) Processor: Intel XScale PXA270 416 MHz RAM: 64 MB (62.1 MB available) ROM; 91.14; MB available to user HDD; 3.78; GB - total volume, 2.31 GB available Interfaces: SD, IrDA, CF Screen: TFT 3.7" with a resolution of 640x480 pixels, displays 65 thousand colors Keyboard: QWERTY keyboard 56 keys plus four navigation buttons Battery: Removable Li-Ion battery with a capacity of 1800 mAh Dimensions: 128x87x24 mm Weight: 298 g Price: about 1000$ More details here: http://www.mobile-review.com/pda/review/sharp-c3100.shtml File: zaurus.jpg http://zx.pk.ru/attachment.php?attachmentid=3219

From Chunin Roman To All 17 May 2006

Hello, TYAX TYA> Let's argue about technology and investments. TYA> The most expensive part is the screen, but... products with used screens. and TYA> illiquid assets. used and illiquid assets are not suitable for mass production. TYA> Next comes technology. If the prototype is rolled out on a breadboard, then TYA> there is every chance for small-scale production.. at least the board TYA> wholesale is much cheaper than... units of the same board. A little cheaper TYA> a board with large dimensions, but double-sided, i.e. possible TYA> roll using the iron method, which is even cheaper. Depending on what kind of devices you use, only QFP, TSOP, BGA and for them an iron will not work. You need to order scarves right away. TYA> The case and keyboard are also wholesale. Although, having such a board, the case TYA> you can glue it yourself. Homemade products are not suitable for the series; the compus will have to be ordered. TYA> Processor wholesale according to price, i.e. by half an order of magnitude. EEE wholesale starts from at least a thousand, or even tens of thousands. TYA> Memory (soj, flash) is available in products. TYA> Minimum markup of the company on which we will entrust distribution TYA> semi-finished and finished products. The calculation is simple. Why, I didn’t even see the calculation estimates. Calculate - and I will indicate the weak ones places. Development is actually quite expensive. It’s hard to do without pls it will work out. If you emulate on something, then it is better to immediately write an emulator on serial PDA

From Victor Ronin To All 17 May 2006

Hello, TYAX TYA> Plus board AC-PVI35-B.. Well, who cares. I don’t need this - I didn’t understand it, but I strongly suspect that "analog interface" is precisely an analog interface (rgb). and the payment is so TVs from PAL televisit. I wonder if you at least went to the manufacturer’s website did you come in? do_> Gentlemen, explain to the stupid and unreasonable, this thing is screen input do_> supports We look at the docks, ask KTC-MK and the PVI people themselves. TYA> The most expensive part is the screen We read to Him ;) what is most precious :) TYA> i.e. you can roll it using the iron method, which is even cheaper uh uh hmmmm. Are you sure it's CHEAPER? TYA> Minimum markup of the company on which we will entrust distribution TYA> semi-finished and finished products ahhh. here it is. a mythical company that will blame everything and pay nothing yet (minimal markup). there will be no company. if you want to do something, do it myself

From Kamil Karimov To All 17 May 2006

Hello, DVS DVS> And not even a single emoticon... DVS> Such technologies are available only to large mastodon corporations. I thought it was clear that you can’t do it cheaply “on your knees”, if a serial product with acceptable characteristics costs $1000.

From ASDT To All 17 May 2006

Hello, TYAX So the screen can be smaller, there is less memory, without a screw... And so... - you can make fun of 20k bucks.

From ASDT To All 17 May 2006

Hello, TYAX “this is the ideal to which we need” I.e. tama - "let's develop a PDA" and I agree - it's interesting and possible... But I think it should be blamed on iXBT :) For ZX it’s closer to optimal - mini TV+ mini ZX...

From Orionsoft To All 17 May 2006

Hello, TYAX TYA> Another thing is that eZ can be changed to another something like this? File: photo5_init_start.jpg http://zx.pk.ru/attachment.php?attachmentid=3221

From TYAX To All 17 May 2006

Hello, DVS DVS> Perhaps so, it all depends on the element base... Without FPGA for me DVS> doesn't seem to work, maybe make two branches of one project "HDL DVS> Hardware" ? DVS> Again, aiming at the dimensions of the PDA!?!? Maybe a laptop will suit you? :-) Wait, why two threads if the question is what it should be ZX-PALM, i.e. Having decided what will be included in this product, Let's decide on the element base. I have a slightly different idea about prototyping and to begin with I use a minimum of FPGAs. PS However, there is a paradox. Casting a body in a small wholesale batch is more expensive manufacturing a milled case with subsequent grinding.. With boards something similar.

Ron> read to Him ;) what is most precious :) They also have a sale section. :) In general, who has seen these screens live and how much will the test screen cost, i.e. outside opta screen. Ron> uh uuuu hmmmm. Are you sure it's CHEAPER? The prototype board will only be on the iron! Before this, on the breadboard, which was very cramped... Ron> ahhh. here it is. a mythical company on which everything will be blamed and nothing else Ron> will not pay (minimal markup). there will be no company. want Ron> to do something - do it yourself.

From Orionsoft To All 18 May 2006

Hello, TYAX TYA> Finally, with a 2.5' screw... it's cheaper than CF and other flash! This is very hard to believe. CF is an industry standard. low-volume media is absolutely not worth what we see in stores photo products. and OEM products are even cheaper. In addition, there is a family of u-controllers for organizing the DOM (disk on module) it can be integrated into a handheld device as a disk with, for example, . and use a connector for the external drive, where everyone can put or 2"5 hdd or CF and adapter. Well, this is all just my opinion, of course.

From Arc To All 18 May 2006

Hello, TYAX You can throw tomatoes at me... The garbage will come out.... Now the handhelds are already going to die. Smart device lines are improving day by day, it all comes down to the emulator for a specific platform.

From Dmitry Klenin To All 19 May 2006

Hello hero Guys, here’s a question - I didn’t understand on the basis of what hardware it will be implemented Speccy? Again, dimensions, current consumption... To be honest, it’s ripening here the idea to create a mini autonomous robot based on Spectrum 48k, something like a vacuum cleaner on the tracks of my old friend. He is not good at programming and asked for my help. And of course there are still many unresolved problems. That's how we are for now that we haven’t found a computer board from which we will “dance” further... I wanted would like to know the parameters of your hardware on the basis of which you are going to build handheld One such board would be very useful for us: v2_conf2:

From Dmitry Demyanenko To All 19 May 2006

Hello, TYAX TYA> Partial port addressing. TYA> Did this phenomenon take place in the classic ZX-Spectrum? TYA> Full addressing is reserved for software compatibility. TYA> If this is so, then you will have to introduce additional mikrukha (something TYA> like a port detector). I have full port addressing! The most severe case with the #FD port if you do not sculpt memory expansions above 128Kb then A15=0 A1=0 is enough, well maybe there’s something else in the low 8 bits of the address that I would like to resolve it, say, with the IDE controller

From moroz1999 To All 19 May 2006

Hello Arc the first tomato flew. In fact, due to my work duties, sometimes I come across prototypes of smartphones, then the last ones. the result is completely different areas of application, with with their own pros and cons, so one cannot be replaced by the other. option a la A "talking calculator" (communicator) is not an option.

From Dmitry Demyanenko To All 22 May 2006

Hello, TYAX TYA> I’ll make a port map (based on the spectrum 128k book), post it on the website TYA> maybe you can add something. And there is a card with three ports, or does it mean all the gadgets, if so then in parallel with the port map, you also need to create a decryption map for specific clones, so how there are inconsistencies when using just one

From Dmitry Demyanenko To All 23 May 2006

Hello, TYAX TYA> Which clones should be compatible? And this is an unsolvable problem, or perhaps go the route of emulators where you choose configuration. The only thing worth noting is that there is software tailored for specific cars According to timings, there is software for ZX Spectrum, Scorpion, Pentagon By the way, this is a whole epic According to clones, these are ATM, ATM2, Turbo+, Profi, Scorpion TYA> What about additional memory and its free connection (any TYA> pages to any section)? This is for CHRV and there was something else similar in PROFI.

From Dmitry Demyanenko To All 23 May 2006

Hello, TYAX TYA> What about additional memory and its free connection (any TYA> pages to any section)? I would also like to add that if you realize this opportunity, then you need to do it and that’s it video modes corresponding to the clone where such a memory manager is present

From Dmitry Demyanenko To All 24 May 2006

From Vadim Frolov To All 28 May 2006

Hello, CHRV Hello. The idea of a spec-palm is great, but the idea of a spec-note is too late 15 years old: in the magazine "Science and Life" of the 90s, a laptop based on z-80 with a monochrome display and a 1 MB screw. But in essence, imxo, the idea can only be realized on velvet, by driving percent and the entire periphery. if you do it in bulk, it will be like in jumble: //good watch, speaking - only 2 suitcases of batteries are needed :)... I just already did something similar - I attached a bw LCD from Leningrad 48 Soviet "palm" electronics. Unfortunately, it could only work from a car battery. One percent consumes a lot, and the rest even more so.

From Dmitry Demyanenko To All 30 May 2006

Hello, TYAX Is there a block diagram or some other thread of verbal description? What's the point here? spread your thoughts if you don’t fully know what we’re talking about :) And one more CPLD thread MAX3064 ($2-4) depending on the situation up to 20 Replaces small logic cases.

From Dmitry Demyanenko To All 30 May 2006

Hello, TYAX TYA> .. and if someone patents, then there will be problems with application Have you ever filed a patent (copyright certificate)? :) The question is, for example, how to pair the eZ80 Z80 RAM ROM VRAM BaseIO, etc. This is not it is emulated, this must be done in hardware. Let's say the eZ80 can also emulate a bus Z80, which partly eliminates the problem of connecting two processors, but back to memory you have to come up with something more or less clever, don’t force the eZ80 access memory at 50MHz in Z80 mode? Otherwise it’s 200% from the bush productivity (and accordingly energy consumption) into the air And are you going to create a video output using a process or is it just my imagination? (misunderstood)
