Re: Hu-BASIC

I wrote a tool, basck, able to identify particular fingerprints in the binary code. it works on rom images, tape images, disk images, etc.. For what I could understand Hu-basic was often used I the sharp products, but others existed. I don't remember the exact results for the SP-xxxx products, I kno...

Re: Determining which MZ

I couldn't succeed with this method. I haven't tried on the real machine, but on many emulators. Is my code wrong ? Here's my last attempt: mz_type: _mz_type: ld hl,$D3FF ; A position in VRAM to probe ld a,(hl) ; pick a byte, we will try to alter the data in VRAM ; 700 series have a function to disa...

The loader calibrates its speed by probing the monitor to understand whether it is running on a Sharp MZ-700 flavor or an earlier system. In the lat...

Lots of disk images

I think you'd be interested in knowing that lots of stuff has been recently uploaded to "archive.org". I could find somewhere the Personal CP/M for MZ-2500 as well as the CP/M 2.2 for the X1, etc.. In example the CP/M for the X1, together with some S-OS implementation (and tons of games) i...
