Below is the result of your feedback form.

It is very interesting. I read the sinclair file first because my first computer was a 1K ZX81. For that machine, I had a replacement ROM chip (8K EPROM) with a FORTH implementation made by Skywave Software, from Bournemouth in England if memory serves me correctly. It has preemptive real-time multi-tasking. It's in a cupboard at my parent's house still. From time to time I have searched the Net to see if anyone has an image of that ROM that I could download to run on an emulator. I haven't found one. One day I would like to boot up the old '81 and copy the ROM across to my PC, but my knowledge of hardware is a bit sketchy, so building an serial interface could be tricky. Anyway, I thought you'd be interested in that info since your project includes operating systems. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- REMOTE_ADDR: 194.222.165.178 HTTP_USER_AGENT: Mozilla/4.7 [en] (X11; I; Linux 2.2.14 i586) |
