Re: Single pixel motion in high res?

So even with WRX, you can't address at the pixel level in x? Correct. A byte represents a block of 8 horizontal pixels. So if you want to move things horizontally at the pixel level then you either need to define pre-shifted sprites, or shift them in a buffer as and when needed before copying them ...

Re: Single pixel motion in high res?

Only hang up is the the high res motion is only vertical - I can move up and down one pixel at at time (192) but horizontally, it still moves in 8bit chunks (32) col instead of 1bit steps (256).

Re: Ferranti catalogue with ULA schematic.

Here are a few photos I took back in the early 2000s so unfortunately the resolution is not great, but it looks like D0 goes to pin 10 and pin 16 is unused.

Re: New release of EightyOne available

I just encountered a very weird behaviour with EightyOne 1.23 in conjunction with the Interface 1/Microdrives Version 1.24 partially addresses this issue.
