is there a document on the kaypro graphics mode and what escape codes do? never mind found it https://vtda.org/docs/computing/Kaypro/KayproUsersGuideAddendum032084.pdf start at page 9 i can adapt this to other terminals.

Don't forget to link to and read the dazzler manuals http://www.s100computers.com/My%20System%20Pages/Dazzler%20II%20Board/Cromemco%20Dazzler%20Graphics%20Instruction%20Manual.pdf As it will explain the basic functions of the Z80 graphics library for assembler usage and fortran use.

just to help with joystick wiring information https://deramp.com/downloads/mfe_archive/010-S100%20Computers%20and%20Boards/00-Cromemco/10-Cromemco%20S100%20Boards/D+7A/D+7A%20Rev%20D%20Manual%20Herb.pdf http://cini.classiccmp.org/pdf/Cromemco/Cromemco%20JS-1%20Joystick%20Manual.pdf...

just about every modern BBS is using a Telnet BBS. this is what gives the double 255 characters. using a wifi modem they have a setting for telnet mode. you have to use the command "ATNET1" this will collapse the extra 255 characters.

looks like the Cromemco Software Database went off line. http://www.s100computers.com/My%20System%20Pages/Dazzler%20II%20Board/Dazzler_II%20Board.htm https://web.archive.org/web/20221207090132/https://www.autometer.de/unix4fun/z80pack/ftp/cromemco/ keep in mind the provided libraries are...

I recommend word star 3 or 4 for editing if you have the ram then wordstar 4 is better All documentation is in the manuals,For the libraries.

Had Gary Kildall lowered his O/S price to undercut Microsoft when the IBM PC launched it would have stuck around a lot longer then it did.

the existing library code is was written in 8080. If you take the existing published dazzler game code in the various manuals and a few of the disassembled code. you can match up the library to where they locate in the demo game code provided. beware some dazzler published code is not in fact...

yes you can, but there is a limit with the size of the tooling and how much deflection your cnc has. if you have 1/64" traces next to each other cnc isn't going to work, there is laser cutters, i have seen where you spray paint the Copper then use the laser to burn the paint off then go toss it...

the difference will be the quality that ends up on the paper. illustrator vector art will print on paper with a very obvious crispness to the edges, photoshop regardless of resolution will print blurry. when both are side by side on paper from the same printer you can see it night and day. that...

going back years ago. I used photoshop to trace out hard to see pcbs using settings for fill threshold or by hand with the pen tool. i would also change the colors so that everything would stand out next to each other and i could confirm it looked right. then i place the photoshop file as a...

The rel file is in the zip file above.

you can use 'Disassemble libraries' utilities for CP/M however you can find the information in the manual i posted as well. there is new assembler code on the S-100 website, that covers sound. http://www.s100computers.com/My%20System%20Pages/Dazzler%20II%20Board/Dazzler_II%20Board.htm If you...

when i setup my system i looked at both CP/M 2.2 and 3. many of 3's features would not work on my system. the only slight advantage might have been the slightly larger TPA space for programs. but 2.2 had so many hacks and changes and software available that it made sense to build the best...

here are some test demos i wrote in MBASIC 5.21 a few years ago for the dazzler. these implement double buffering.

you have 16 levels of grey in 64x64 grey mode. it actually makes sense for the speed of converting color images it also worked with the Cyclops digital camera system. this was a jpg converted to dazzler grey scale and i added dithering since just 16 levels of grey makes everything very flat...

i forgot another sticking point with the provided libraries. Cromemco started in 8080 Assembler. they quickly understood that 2mhz was too slow to do anything. They Quickly went to Z80 and 4mhz, so the early 1977 work they published with source code is all in 8080 assembler(very little was...

forgot here is 128 mode with a dithering effect. compared to a Fabgl Ansi terminal.

Just not well known information but: Cromemco provided 2 libraries for assembler and Fortran development. these are GRAPHZ80.REL and GRAPHFOR.REL the manual for these are located along with everything here. https://www.autometer.de/unix4fun/z80pack/ftp/cromemco/...

honestly i don't know why i bought one, maybe the hype? i could have bought any older laptop or desktop off ebay or goodwill and it would have been better. i guess i saw everyone buying one and figured what the hell. as a gift my book 8088 arrived broken. my CGA Rom was corrupted and thus he...
