Try the following in BASIC (version 2.1): get date d$ : print d$ Then a date string will appear on your screen, which only gives the last two digits of the year! Programs which use this method for getting the date will have trouble I guess Try the following in MSX-DOS (1): date current date is: 29-11-1999 enter new date: Here you see the date in four digits! After entering the date of 31/12/2079 there and the time of 23:59 and switching the power off for a minute, the date of 1/1/1980 appears. The problems will rise again in 2079.. I have also tested the year 2072 you named, but DOS(1) jumps to 2073, as it should be. Which OS did you use? I haven't tried MSX-DOS 2 yet. But from the DOS2 function codes specification I conclude that it makes no difference with DOS1. Research in the MILC learned me, that the clockchip uses two nibbles for storing the date. The max value stored is H99, this is decimal 155, and 1980+155 = 2135. So the clockchip gives the correct date until 2135 (Doubt if I make it till then ..) It's only the software ... For instance the dutch echomail system (i.e. sending electronic messages from one BBS to another) will have trouble with the millenium. (the only prog i know so far) Grtz, Siebe

Hello all, Research in the MILC learned me, that the clockchip uses two nibbles for storing the date. The max value stored is H99, this is decimal 155, and 1980+155 = 2135. So the clockchip gives the correct date until 2135 (Doubt if I make it till then ..) It's only the software ... AFAIK, the clockchip uses BCD for storing its info, so H99 means decimal 99, not 155... +-- Eric Boon ---+ | this signature was | | intentionally left blank | ++ MSX Mailinglist.

Asistentes Reunion Barcelona
[this message is about a proposal to take photos to MSX tapes, the phisical support programs were released in. Interested? Just email me and I'll explain] Hola, Querria hacer una pregunta a aquellos que vayan a ir a la RU de Barcelona este sabado. He estado hablando con Jose Angel Morentes (supongo que sabreis quien es el antes que yo) y le comente la idea de realizar un registro de fotos de los casetes de MSX con fin a poder tener una informacion que nos parece interesante. A fin de cuentas, sin ese soporte fisico el software de MSX no podria haber sido distribuido. Necesitaria saber si alguien estaria dispuesto a usar su camara de fotos digital para poder hacer fotos de los casetes de MSX que tengo. Si, de los casetes, del soporte fisico. El asunto es poder almacenar tanta informacion como sea posible del software de MSX, y tener un registro de los casetes podria ser un buen complemento. Personalmente yo no necesito "coger" esa camara para hacer las fotos. Si el propietario/a esta dispuesto/a a que las hagamos, yo me llevo los casetes y el/ella(?) puede hacer las fotos. Pienso que estaria bien, no es tampoco un "curro" exagerado y se puede hacer en un ratito, tampoco tengo tantos casetes despues de todo, no creo que lleguen a 50. Pero si el fotografo tuviera casetes y quisiera, tambien podriamos hacer fotos de sus casetes. He pensado que la Ru de Barcelona es la excusa perfecta porque lo podemos hacer en un ratito y no hace falta que nadie se deje dinero en sellos, sobres etc. Ah! Y claro, quiza tambien fuera interesante hacer fotos de los cartuchos, sus cajas... Bueno, a ver si esta propuesta tiene un exito minimamente decente y alguien se digna a contestarme... Nos vemos en Barcelona! Manuel PD Donde se va a alojar la peña??!! = MSX Database members.xoom.com/z80msx/msx.htm www.msxnet.org/manuel/msx.htm MSX Mailinglist.

Yeah. Read your docs a little more careful. You know what BCD is, do you? Storing a decimal value in hexadecimal form, so #09 + #01 = #10 (where # means Hex). The Z80 has even got a special instruction for this. ~Grauw -- email me: [EMAIL PROTECTED] or ICQ: 10196372 visit the Datax homepage at http://datax.cjb.net/ MSX fair Bussum / MSX Marathon homepage: http://msxfair.cjb.net/ MSX Mailinglist.
