Re: PC/MS DOS emulator?

I'm familiar with both the 6502 and X86 architecture. Then I got hooked on the 68HC11 microcontroller at school .... I'll get back to 6502 once I get a fencing project done, a greenhouse finished, upgrades to my workshop too and a whole lot of whitewater kayaking trips this winter. I've got an X16 a...

Re: No PAL VERA... Then why Worry ?

I would need access to someone with PAL expertise to ask questions and someone with PAL test equipment to check the result. It would be a lot of work. Much more so than when I added 240P for Adrian.

Re: CP/M on the X16

Well, wiser and more informed community members have spoken with more depth than I can provide. However, as a Canadian I'll put in my two (more) cents, since the penny has been eliminated here.... The reason that I wanted to use a expansion card is to run CP/M software, without the need to port them...

Re: CP/M on the X16

I post-date the CPM era, never having to use or understand it. Given it was ported to many different hardware platforms, I don't see a requirement for an expansion card. From my limited knowledge, it should be portable to the X16 hardware, but might encounter/require some adaptations because the bas...

Re: House Mortgage Interest Calculator

When I first saw the title, I though some spammer had posted.

After looking at it, I realize my mortgage will outlast me :-(
