What era Byte & Kilobaud please?

WIll you be sharing your work please Dave?

I'm a windows user, I'm not clever enough to run Linux. I use GALASM (specifically EQN2JED) in DOSBOX without problems.

Its an Emic 2?

Not actually retro but at only £17 a good substitute for the AIM65 style printer: Thermal Printer

I bought a V1, I wish I'd waited as the V2 serial & printer ports would be so useful to me... :) Presumably a V1 has zero value now...

ZSM, widely available via CP/M User Group archives :)

I think apps negate many of the advantages of the thin client model the web has been based on

Ooh yes me too, I'd forgotten about that. PAGE 58,132 CODE SEGMENT ASSUME CS:CODE,DS:CODE,ES:CODE,SS:CODE ; Drive Hitachi display on LPT1. Data lines straight, STRB (1) --> E (6) ; SLCT_IN (17) --> R/W (5), AUTO_FD_XT (14) --> R/S (4) ; Ignore BSY signal (o/p only port), just delay after...

Decades ago these were the staple office computer in BT (I'm in the UK), I did loads of assembler and PLI/80 development for our reporting systems, I grew very fond of Casu's. I just wondered if any had survived. I'd love one myself but I guess they now go for several times more than they did...

Yes in fact I used it recently to demo a few things on 'retro' comps: Simple sampling: Richard Russell's Music compiler (RR of BBC Basic fame) SounDAC on the RC2040 (skip to 2 minutes 6 secs:

I did the EPE 'SounDAC' amongst others: https://www.worldradiohistory.com/UK/Everyday-Electronics/90s/Everyday-Electronics-1994-04.pdf

It has simple composite and audio in, no mirror image, no reversing guide bar overlay, its just a simple composite monitor and therefore ideal for our purposes. For £12 they are an absolute bargain, I dont know how they make them for that price. I generally use a subset of the Geoff Graham PIC...

There is a movement using the acronym IDWYFA a search will reveal all :)

My SC/MP running via a chatpad keyboard and a 4.3 inch composite reversing screen, £12 including delivery from ebay, I bought one then a couple more when I realised how good they were. Fifty pence for size reference, I couldnt find a banana :)

My Logiker Christmas 2023 entry (sc/mp assembler) did one byte of smc :)

Just a perspective comment - in 45 years of assembler on various cpus I've never, ever needed 'incbin' :) If ever I did, I would #include a file of db statements... which is trivial to create from a binary :)

>>I bought some 6522 from Aliexpress. They look fake / relabeled My experience is that if they work at all, they're most likely genuine. My own fakes have all been DOA, probably a completely different type of chip to the type claimed by the (re)labelling.

If you can work out the logic equation, within the GALASM collection is a utility called EQN2JED which will create a .JED file from an equation, I use this for GALs but I'm not sure if the resulting .JED file would also suit a PAL? are all .JEDs created equal?

I'm a big fan of Richard Russell's (of BBCbasic fame) MUSIC compiler for CP/M - four polyphonic voices and several different timbres. All very clever, maybe he'd read the byte article, I think MUSIC was released to the CPMUGUK library in the early 1980's It was first featured on CP/M Usergroup...
