This is a problem with ZXPand not the program. When generating standard ZX81 type characters SHREB expects to find the character patterns at $1E00, which are are no longer there because of the ZXPand overlay ROM. Pseudo-hi-res programs also have a similar problem. Try loading the program with the /...

Here it is with SHREB version 3. I haven't actually tried to figure out how the use the program, but the screen shot shows that SHREB version 3 is working. Regards; Greg Greg, The SHREB version 3 appears to handle Tom's SE graphics, but not regular text. If you know the subtlety between 2 and 3, pl...

mrtinb,
ZXpand did the job, thx!
Now, the attached >16K file ZXpand SAVEd, will not LOAD via EO tape, only ZXpand CAT.
What's the trick to get EO tape/wav to LOAD it, as well

* how many P standards exist *

If you have a ZXpand, you can load the software with LOAD “SOFTWARE STOP ”, where STOP is a keyword. ZXpand emulation is available on EightyOne as well. If you have real hardware with tape loading, I’ve read you can load with RAND USR 836 to stop auto-run. (This I’ve never tried myself.) mrtinb, Th...

Hi,
ZX software that auto-runs, after loading, has more of a chance to fail.
Q: Can auto-run code be unlocked in some way, so only the binary gets installed without it being launched

Does this device use an 8255 IC?

dessony,
Yes, and here is the schematic to see how the hardware is wired . . .

Here it is with SHREB version 3. I haven't actually tried to figure out how the use the program, but the screen shot shows that SHREB version 3 is working. Regards; Greg Greg, It appears that the P file format is very unstable when the file exceeds 16K. Here is an example where EO can generate only...
