Re: Enschede
how is the situation in Enschede after the explosion of the fireworks factory? I can't tell much about it, I was with my parents during the explosion. Today I returned to my room, a few kilometers west from the fireworks site. I've heard some stories, but I haven't met people who were in the middle of the disaster area. I only know the things I've seen on tv... My 8245 is still alive anyway! Jasper [EMAIL PROTECTED] MSX Mailinglist.

Re: Slot Expander Questions
SCC can be put in the subslot but it won't be supported by most cracks. Unless you use the SCC detection program by Jasper Lautenbag that can be downloaded from my homepage. (See some previous mail.) I succeeded to let almost every crack I have work with the SCC in a subslot. (Except Kings VALLEY II, MSX2 version.) Well, because all (?) cracks use primary slotswitching when they play music over the SCC it won't work if you have your memory and the SCC in one slotexpander. You will have to rewrite the crack for that. My little program helps with one thing: if you have your SCC in the slotexpander its subslot is selected so you can use it if it were in a primary slot. After running it, most cracks should run fine. As long as you have your memory in another primary slot that is. About that KV2, can you mail it to me Manuel, maybe I can take a look at it? Jasper.

Re: MSX in Space
I got the opportunitie to capture an old video fragment into a giantestique AVI file. The AVI itself is 80 megabyte, the zipfile you can download is 53 megabytes The fragment is the shot in the MIR where,at the right-bottom, you can see the MSX Sony floating by. Maybe you can try a lower resolution and framerate first. I think 87 meg is quite a lot for those 15 seconds or so. Nice to see it though... Jasper. MSX Mailinglist.

Turbo Pascal and keybuffering
Hi, I've made a menuprogram in Turbo Pascal which has to execute the game selected from the menu. I put the commandline in the keyboardbuffer (0FBF0H), but when I exit my program the first three characters are gone! And when I add an extra WriteLn at the end of my program all characters are gone! Does anybody know if TP 3.3 programs use an internal keybuffer? Or does dos1 do this? And how to solve the problem? I know I can use Execute, but that doesn't work if I want to add commandline parameters. Jasper. MSX Mailinglist.

Amiga mouse and MSX
In the Dutch magazine MSX Mozaik #33 there is an article about connecting a Commodore 64 mouse to a MSX. You have to change the wires of button 2, ground and +5V to get it working. When I got an Amiga mouse I thought "hey, this is Commodore too, let's modify it into a MSX mouse!" So I made the changes, but without success. The only thing that works are the mousebuttons (so +5V, ground etc are correct), but moving the mouse gives strange results... Does anybody know if it's possible to use an Amiga mouse on MSX and what changes need to be made? Jasper. MSX Mailinglist.

Re: Amiga mouse and MSX
Amiga and MSX-mouses are indeed not compatible. I believe the X/Y-movement is, just like on PC, delivered to the PC in an analog signal, and not a digital signal. Too bad... :-( Anyway, thanks for your explanation. Jasper. MSX Mailinglist.

Re: Guardic practice mode
I may be very well mistaken, but if I remember well, you should tap left-right-left-right a few times until an extra menu appears. I hope it works for you. It worked for me, but I don't remember how... =) Your memory works very good. After just six keystrokes (L-R-L-R-L-R) the practice mode appears. Thanx! Jasper. P.S. Somebody knows the sound test?

Re: Announcing the first public release of UZIX
Anyway. There is no reason for UZIX hanging up because you have 512k RAM or more. It works fine on my Philips 8245 with 128K and with 512K. Nice to see some unix on the screen, but it's very slow. Even ls may take up to one minute before displaying some results! But it really is a very nice project! Jasper. MSX Mailinglist.

Re: MegaRAM
this MegaRam-module wasmade before the MSX2 was released??? Sure! It was created exactly after the born of Nemesis I. Ehhh... Nemesis I says (C) 1986, my 8235/00 says (C) 1985, so MSX2 is older than Nemesis I! And if that's true, the memory mapper is older than your Megaram... Jasper. MSX Mailinglist.

Re: Memory...
In MSX INFO BLAD Hans van Oranje wrote how to use SIMMs as MSX-RAM... So I guess it depends on the price of SIMMs and the parts used... Willem Cazander told me this design was not optimal, but I guess the design he was talking about is a little more expensive... Are those schematics online somewhere? Or can somebody mail them to me? Second hand SIMM's aren't that expensive... Jasper Lautenbag. MSX Mailinglist.

Re: Counting
By the way, although in "real life" most things are (unfortunately) numbered from 1, building stories are numbered from 0. But somehow floor zero is given a special name (ground floor or something like that). You're wrong. In English, the ground floor is the first floor. Only in Dutch you start counting at zero! :-) Jasper. MSX Mailinglist.

MSX Connect
Hi all! The last few days I've seen some discussions about connecting an MSX to your PC or connecting two MSX's. This last option should be done by using the joystick ports. But this has already been done. The program is called MSX-Connect. The first MSX becomes the master, the second one becomes the slave. When installed, the master will have access to the drives of the slave. You can find the program at one of the Millenium cd's (if you have them). The cable is connected to the second joystick port and it connects pin 1 to pin 6, 2-7, 3-8, 6-1, 7-2, 8-3 and 9-9. Maybe disassembling this piece of software will help? Jasper. MSX Mailinglist.

8235/00 and 8235/20
Ah, the famous /20-series... Can anybody tell me the difference between the VG8235 and the VG8235/20??? The 8235/00 has basic version 2.0 (1985) and the 8235/20 has basic version 2.1 (1986). I don't know the exact differences between these two basic versions, but if I remember correct, the 2.1-basic has a larger internal ramdisk (CALL MEMINI). Jasper. MSX Mailinglist.

Re: F1-Spirit
My brother and I finished this game in the 2 player mode but we were little bit surprised there was no end-demo or something like that. When I played it alone I thought there was one but it can also be "een hersenspinsel" (don't know the English word) You can start the enddemo by entering the password 'MITAIYOENDDEMO'. Jasper.
