ROM Hacker-2000

ZXNet echo conference «hardware.zx»

From Konstantin Zhukov To All 4 March 2006

Hello, All I present to your attention the ROM firmware for Quorum and Spectrum-compatible, containing modified basic48 and tr-dos pages. The firmware is intended for copters with 48K memory or for 128s that have BASIC-128 is missing. To run in the emulator you need to set it as DOS file MyDos.rom, and in BASIC-48 and BASIC-128 - MyBasic.rom. Archive Quorum contains firmware for Quorums, Spectrum - firmware for regular Spectrums.

Hello, Jukov Original. But why not Basic-128? Some programs for 128K do not work. The bad thing is that page switching is done through the FD port. What should users do? computers with expansion over 128K via the 7FFD port? What do I need I liked your firmware - it's magos. But again, it’s only for 48K. It would be better to make it for computers with extended memory. I don't like it support for only one little-used printer interface, For example, I am a Scorpio. Users of ZX-LPRINT III I think will not be happy either delighted. Although this is a small thing, it is unlikely that anyone else uses the Spectrum for printing. The shadow monitor is not very convenient - command prompts are not displayed. And when when disassembling, it would be necessary to somehow highlight undocumented duplicates commands, such as in STS. Overall, I liked the development. It's great that at least someone else is improving the ROM.

Hello, Jukov I don't know. somewhere on the internet. only there are no shadow monitors there ;) and there are no debuggers there either. There is almost an ordinary 128 BASIC (only a loader is attached to the HDD). and it’s the lack of bells and whistles that I like about it.

Hello Sinus Where can I download it? Will it work at 128K?

From Slavik Tretiak To All 24 March 2006

Hello Sinus Jukov It’s just that the pzu is 64k. 32k - for 48 and 128 BASIC, 16k for TR-DOS and you can include the remaining 16k, where Usually something is flooded. in the case of newart it is a monitor, in my case it is a memory test. so without additional soldering, the ROM is not applicable to a regular spec. therefore, in this case it is equivalent to the fact that there is nothing in kaya.

From Slavik Tretiak To All 24 March 2006

Hello new art newart in fact, you just need to put I don’t remember what value into port #1FFD, and you can without any short circuits. but in my ROM (KAY-1024) there is a memory test, which cannot be called monitor ;)

Caused by shorting a pair of contacts on the FDD controller. At least that’s how it is in my 256 TURBO.

Hello new art new> There is a monitor there!! new> Caused by closing a pair of contacts on the FDD controller. new> At least in my 256 TURBO it is. An interesting way to call a monitor. Post the firmware, please.

Hello axor At first, the service page was not used. She was involved with appearance of kay-1024.
