Re: Lambda 8300/Zx81 differences and similarities

I don't know if anyone have ever used a Chroma interface for the Lambda 8300.

Lambda 8300 had it's own color interface: Lambda Colour Pack.

The Lambda Colour Pack was supported with an upgraded ROM with new commands: INK, PAPER and BORDER.

Explaining error messages.

But the Commodore Basic also saved commands as tokens.

I might add that ZX Basic has a feature that Commodore Basic is missing:

Re: ZX81 Berzerk Clone

He coded for the Chroma interface which has color support through a Scart connector. http://www.fruitcake.plus.com/Sinclair/ZX81/Chroma/ChromaInterface.htm Another possibility for color (that was available back in the day) is the Lambda Colour Pack. https://k1.spdns.de/Vintage/Sinclair/80/Peripheral...

Re: 50 games with hires in 1K

Most will have 16k or 32k. Hmm... and the ZXblast has 512k, so that should be sufficient:-)

Re: TS1000 ULA vs ZX81 ULA

The switch will only affect software that reads it's position.

Sinclair's BASIC ROM reads the 50/60 position, to create the right picture.

But some software made in machine language might not read the position and hardcode/assume 50 or 60.
