The only reason for any TAP support must be to archive the Flash! tape, the SAMDOS tape and the two games ever released on tape in a reproducible format. There is no practical reason for having separate single-file archives (as opposed to discs).

I can't say that I recognise this. You are aware that ftp.nvg.ntnu.no has an extensive CATalog/DIRectory of both commercial and freeware/PD software for the SAM.

In addition I have 68 files which I HAVE been requested to removed by the various copyright holders. Amongst other things this includes Blitz Magazine, SAM News Disk and SAMCo News Disk. When you look at a site like WOS, which is releasing what were REAL money-making programs (we're talking very very large amounts of money) for free, and retrospectively getting rights to do so, unless explicitly denied rights to release the programs, it does seem to me to be a bit odd that stuff from the Coupe (which was always a pretty tight-knit community of enthusiasts) is unavailable to people who are interested. It isn't. See above. I have been tinkering with the idea of a more professional effort like WOS, but currently I have no spare time on my hands to undertake such an effort.

Will that require something like this to work: http://www.embeddedethernet.com/ Interesting. :) Or can it be done over SLIP from a comms interface? My initial idea was to use PPP over the emulated serial device in SimCoupe (since it's my current platform). Speaking of which, weren't there some modifications that needed to be made to the comms i/f to actually make the RS232 usable? Wasn't that just to make it compatible with PC mice? And while I've thought of it, what was the mod to stop the ghosting on the video output - I might get one of these http://www.letsautomate.com/10894.cfm? to hook it up to my monitor, but if it's going to look as horrible as it does on my little SCART monitor I'm not sure I can justify the cost.

Hi all. I've just had a few minutes spare at work so I have updated a few things on the ftp site. 1) New directory '/explosion' which contains a set of disks with a ZX Spectrum emulator and games++ 2) New directory '/games/pax' - some SCADS games? 3) 'docs/SAM_ROM_v30_Disassembly_Annotated.pdf.gz' 4) 'emulation/ROMs/samroms.zip' - different ROM versions Probably other changes as well. Let me know if any of these should be removed or if there is anything else needs to be done. -Frode -- ^ Frode Tennebø | email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ^ | Ericsson AS | Isebakkeveien 49 | | N-1788 Halden | Phone: +47 67 25 09 39| | with Standard.Disclaimer; use Standard.Disclaimer;|

The z88dk compiler seems to be missing support for pointers in typedefs, function pointers, and forward declarations (of structures, in this case). Macros should cover the first one, perhaps just using an address for the second (hopefully it won't require manual pushing of parameters), and some duplication for the forward declarations. I didn't get the problems you had.
