Setting up an eprom with coral basic interpreter
Re: Setting up an eprom with coral basic interpreter
I think I only have to connect pin 28 (a13) of my rom to pin 3 of my z80 (a13) and it should work, if Paul's rom is programmed to work with 16K.
That of course remains in the sphere of theory... as reality is a bitch and it probably won't work there...

I suggest to use the W27C512 which is 28 Pins and cheap and available
In theory, there is no difference between theory and practice. But, in practice, there is.
Re: Setting up an eprom with coral basic interpreter
Has anyone tried Paul's latest rom on a real machine? If so let us know.
Have you Mister Paul ?
I ordered spare eproms to bend and test. I will try in a week or so.

Re: Setting up an eprom with coral basic interpreter
As it requires modification to the hardware, so it's not just running the software.
Re: Setting up an eprom with coral basic interpreter
To be honest I'm not interested in Coral Basic.
I'm a real fan of ZX-Basic with the Keywords with single key entry.
My work on Coral basic was purely academic.
So no, I haven't tested it on a real machine.
But I'm confident it's going to work.

You people are very old !!!!
How can you NOT be excited to have a proper basic on the machine running...
But that is certainly because you use the rudimentary keyboard of the zx81..
I use a proper specially designed AT-style keyboard and with coral basic running my keyboard gets inflamed...
It's very nice that you are confident that it will work Mister Paul.
I will let you know in a week or so.

Re: Setting up an eprom with coral basic interpreter
I have played with Coral Basic, but it has some quirks, that made me stop using it.
On top of that is, that everything I make with Coral Basic, noone else can use, as they need Coral Basic installed first. When I program, I just want to supply a .P file, that just works for people.

I use a cherry MX blue keyboard on my zeddy which is perfect and has the proper printings on the keys.
After thousands of hours using the zeddy it feels very odd to have to type in everything keystroke by keystroke

Re: Setting up an eprom with coral basic interpreter
I have cherryMX too Paul, but I guess your layout is the zeddy's while mine is the AT's !!!!

Re: Setting up an eprom with coral basic interpreter
Martin, doesn't coral basic have the save command? Sure.
Then, you can save the code and port it to any basic, to the locomotive basic of the amstrad cpc for example.
The only thing you can't do is run it on the zx basic !!!
That is why is essential to replace the zx basic with a proper basic.
