Cosa sono le DiagROM?

Le DiagROM sono delle ROM diagnostiche per gli Home Computer della serie Commodore Amiga. Queste ROM tornano molto utili in alcune sistuazioni, tipo quando il computer non esegue correttamente il boot o si blocca.

Changelog:

• Now Diskdrivetest should work on most machines.
• Memchecks should now detect non working ram better.
• Experimental CIA test added that should work on NTSC machines aswell. MIGHT give false results on TOD-B tests. It will still say that IRQ is needed, this is not true :)
• Added RGB Test.
• Usual “bugfixes” pressing left mousebutton when chipmemdetect starts skips serial output and makes startup faster. holding down left mousebutton while doing memscan at start skips memtests. (good if it hangs during scan. known not found bug yet!)
• Updated to tested values if new CIA test that should be more correct.
• Also in memoryedit mode (memtest) added pageup/down functions with Q and Z keys.
• (or Amigastandard shift+cursor keys) also added official support to execute code from current locaton using the X key. (this is very much not really useful for most people)

Il sistema di videogiochi Atari XE è una console per videogiochi domestica rilasciata da Atari Corporation nel 1987. Basato sul computer Atari 65XE a 8 bit, l’XEGS è compatibile con la libreria di software per computer Atari a 8 bit esistente.

Il XEGS era venduto assieme ad una tastiera esterna, un joystick, una pistola (XG-1) e un paio di giochi. Questo modello non ebbe un grande successo.

Grundy Newbrain – Expansion Interface & Disk Controller Module – Disk Drives – Monitor.

Questo macigno di 14 kg penso sia un pezzo unico ed e’ stato assemblato e costruito su misura dalla J.G.M. Oude Nijhuis.

Questo macigno al suo interno contiene le seguenti cose:

• Grundy Expansion Interface Module.
• Grundy Disk Controller Module.
• Disk Drives (2)
• Alimentatore con 3 uscite indipendenti.
• Multipresa.
• Interfaccia Parallela per Stampante.
• Uscite e ingressi per il BUS del Grundy Newbrain,Alimentazione e Monitor.

Il Monitor va collocato sopra i due Disk Drives ed essendo delle dimensioni perfette e di un colore del case molto simile al resto si adatta alla perfezione.

Il contenitore con i due Floppy Drives e lo spazio per il Controller Disk Drives dovrebbe essere quello che veniva a suo tempo venduto dalla Tradecom International B.V.

Ho utilizzato il software 22Disk & TeleDisk per creare i Floppy Disk per il Grundy Newbrain.

DirMaster è un programma per la gestione dei files del Commodore 64, del tipo (D64,. D81. T64, ecc) e anche i formati compressi ad esempio: Arc. Sda. lnx, ecc. Il programma DirMaster gira sotto M$ Windows.

Issues reported by users that were resolved in v3.1.3:

• Windows XP compatibility restored in 3.1.3 [0182] (Luca/FIRE + others)
• Extending a d64 from 35 to 40 tracks, track 35 is destroyed [0172] (stephan-andres)
• cvt file copy would result in failure to validate the disk in GEOS [0178] (scott.hutter)

Thanks to all who made an effort to submit bug reports. If you sent a bug report and don’t see it addressed here, don’t worry, it’s in the queue.

Other issues resolved in v3.1.3:

• “Mark disk for GEOS” incorrectly writes the border sector [0181]
• New d64 images are more accurately matching the 1541 formatted content (open1,8,15,”n0:” style) [0179]
• BAM view could cause a crash when viewing truncated disk images, this should be less likely now [0168]
• An error message would sometimes be shown when quitting DirMaster after launching a disk image in an emulator [0159]

Belated thanks to Bacchus/FLT who sent most of the issues that were addressed in 3.1.2.

Il Frankenstein ZX-81 funziona! la tastiera non molto bene, ma non e’ un problema della tastiera ma dei collegamenti della matrice della tastiera che mancano, mi chiedo come lo utilizzavano, forse e’ un progetto che non e’ stato mai terminato ?
