Re: Tape Sim

Ported!

Got spoiled by the Teensy's vast resources. Had to rewrite a lot to fit within the Micro's 2.5K RAM.

Re: Tape Sim

Am porting this now to the 5V Arduino Micro. The FrequencyTimer2 lib doesn't support that board so I switched to the FrequencyGenerator lib, modified to output on pin 10. Successfully loaded TRMLD into the Sorcerer.

Got a SparkFun microSD board coming soon, so will try to integrate that next.

Re: How to send a PM?

Thanks, it does work as you described. However, it doesn't work like any other email app or forum PM I've used.

How to send a PM?

I tried and my message just sits in my Outbox. How do I send it and then see it in Sent Messages?

Re: Welcome to Exidy Sorcerer Forums

Glad to find this new forum! My story: In 1981 I worked at New Dimensions in Computing, the East Lansing store which sold Exidy Sorcerers, Atari 400s and 800s, and Vector Graphic S100 CP/M machines.

Horizontal Video Tearing

I found the cause of the tearing / jitter during screen access. I looked at the HSYNC circuit on an oscilloscope and saw that, during screen RAM accesses (Monitor command TE FE00 FF00), there is a one cycle jitter in timing between HSYNC pulses. That's one cycle of the 6 MHz clock, which is the time...
