Re: 64K for TS1000 Ad

The one model also includes the zx81 - so what is different between the zx81 and the other ts1000's? 1k versus 2k memory and 50hz versus 60hz display. I believe that is all.

Thanks

I think it depends on the program, if it is all basic or mixed basic and ml or all ml. If it is graphics based or text based. Does it take advantage of features on the zx81?

Tape program

I am trying to locate a program I used in the past for transfering .P files from a PC via the parrallel port to the TS1000. I can't remeber the exact name but it came with the source code (I believe in C)

Anyone know where I can find this?

Re: Basic Error

My results (using EO 1.0) are: Printed values: 1 4 9 16 64 Runtime: 24 seconds in FAST mode So the timing is correct. But the values are different (no error at 9, error at 49 and 81).

Basic Error

I saw this in an old TI99 4/A newsletter where they was tesing a small basic program on multiple machines. The interesting thing is that the program has the same errors on the TS1000 and Commodore 64. Why would that be? Did they share the same floating point routines? The program in question: 100 FO...
