Re: Print values fast (10X faster)

Thanks guys.
Oh, I forgot to mention that it works with LPRINT too.

Print values fast (10X faster)

I love the ZX81, but printing values is crazy slow.
Try this

10 FOR X=1 TO 200
20 PRINT X;" ";
30 NEXT X

So I thought I would write a short machine code program to make it faster.
I have timed it and it seems to be about 10 times faster than Sinclair BASIC.

All comments welcome...

ZXPand on TS1500

I use a Timex Sinclair 1500 mainly because the keyboard doesn't make me want shove an ice pick in my eye. I would like to purchase the ZXPand, but it says that it blocks the ports on the back. Is there an extension cable or something available that would allow me to use it without blocking the ports...
