Ah right, that is annoying, too. I haven't tried it yet, but looking at the source there is a byte at address $042F in the ROM. Currently it's $08 and the meaning is documented in the source: * bit(s) value meaning * 0 0 do the full memory test * 1 skip the memory test for a quick reset * 1 0 scan rom slots * 1 skip the rom slots, unexpand the m/c * 2 0 normal establishment of memory size * 1 take the upper memory limit below as gospel! * 3 0 monitor mode * 1 tv mode * 4 0 wait for f1-f4 selection * 1 skip the f1-f4 selection * 5-6 0..3extend supervisor stack by 0K, 8K, 16K or 24K * 7 0 set single screen * 1 set dual screens * 8-130..63 extra blocks of 64k between last screen and system vars * 14-31 upper limit on memory (0 = no limit) * (Note that the top bits of d1 are unlikely to ever make sense as memory!) One could for example patch a $11 into it to get - skip memory test - monitor mode - no wait for F1/F2 (actually there will still be a tiny wait of 32ms, so keys can still be pressed) Use any hex editor to change.

Ah, a good idea. I have elsewhere on disk a Minerva (not the latest version) which was patched by Martin Berndt with german key layout (not so important), with b/w colours of #1 and #2 (also not so important) but with autostart at F1, not F2 (a bit more important).

I'm rather fond of the AtTiny85 myself, I have to admit. :-) Cheers, Norm.

Yes, I had to disable the "ID check" flag to read one of my old EPROMS and haven't tried to burn one yet. Might try this evening just for fun, but a 10-pack of EEPROMs is somewhere on its way between here and China, so I probably don't need those going forward anyway ;-) Read out the some GAL16V8s and burned some ATTINY chips so far, all worked flawlessly. So far I'm a really happy camper with this thing. Cheers, Marcel ___ QL-Users Mailing List

It does have problems with very old eproms, not being in the Eprom Programmer Database. But something like a Winbond W26C512 EEPROM, works very nicely. I might be retiring my Hilo Systems ALL03A MSDOS based programmer in the future. -- Regards, Derek ___ QL-Users Mailing List

Thank you. Just for clairifcation: There is no TCP/IP stack included with any of these emulators. They are just mirroring the socket interface of the host computer to the emulated side. Peter ___ QL-Users Mailing List Hi Peter, When you say the TCP/IP socket interface is mirrored in an emulator, is that full range of TCP/IP ports. This would make life easier for porting over existing Internet software. The demonstration of the TCP/IP at the QLis30 in Edinburgh, is the TCP/IP stack the full implementation? -- Regards, Derek ___ QL-Users Mailing List
