ZX80 - abilities, progs, RAMs? Anything?
ZX80 - abilities, progs, RAMs? Anything?
Yo.
Last times I spotted this thread viewtopic.php?f=7&t=235&p=1652#p1652 and again came to my mind (like it does once a year or so) - what actually ZX80 is?
What can it do?
Does it have the same zx-bus like ZX81?
Can be used 16K RAM-packs from ZX81 for ZX80?
How is it possible there are some games for it if it can't show any movement, theoretically?
What about its software? Actually I haven't seen much. Several progs, in fact.
And finally - if our forum is for "ZX80 / ZX81" users - then where are the second ones? I mean any new progs and kinda 'developement' stuff.
Of course it's _highly_ impossible I could find it on our equivalent of ebay but still, if I would, then I would like to know there are some people doing _anything_ with the machine.

Like I thought.
This machine is dead.

I have two ZX80's (one is UK model, the other is a US model) and I love them dearly. However I don't get to use them very often as the amount of software available is quite limited. However I do occasionally enjoy playing the no flicker space invaders game...a truely great piece of coding!

Hm. When I try to download the file, I get 404.

Looks awesome.
Re: ZX80 - abilities, progs, RAMs? Anything?
Hey that looks really good - I presume that it is public domain? Would you be willing to allow me to add it to my software downloads page - http://www.rwapsoftware.co.uk/zx81/zx81_software.html
Correct link to download the program is http://www.fruitcake.plus.com/Sinclair/ ... Pacman.zip
Although I suppose I will have to create a new downloads page for ZX80 software!
Paul - what about the Space Invaders game - surely that is still copyright?

Re: ZX80 - abilities, progs, RAMs? Anything?
I wonder if it's possible for contemporary ZX81 coders to code several as good games for _ZX80_ as the ones mentioned above.
It would increase the ZX80's software-base and maybe also it would increase interest in ZX80 itself.
I realize there are not many working issues of the machine (in my country it's practically impossible to buy) but well... Some people like to use emulators.
Others want to re-create ZX80 in a new version (is the project still going?).
Ah well. I'm thinking loud, that's all.
Such games for ZX80 must have been damn hard work to do.
