Re: Another MTX Fault - Jon Riglar's MTX

Hi Jon, I can safely say that the VRAMs are definitely compatible, I have used them in a few MTXs with no problems. If pin 14 (data out) on them all is low, it would appear that data is not being read. You could look at the R/W pin (3), but I don't think it can be a video problem. Even if the VRAMs ...

Re: CFX

Hi Mark,

thanks, there's nothing special that we had in mind, it's really just a case of using it and seeing if there are gremlins in there.

The "clean your edge connector" is already a good reminder!

Re: CFX

Hi Mark,

yes, the small characters are hard to read, so not recommended for writing your next novel with NewWord, but, as you will have seen, loading .COM games from CP/M is MUCH faster than loading from SDX BASIC.

Re: CFX

Hi Mark, thanks for the update - it appears to be working then :-) Great stuff. What I didn't do on your card was to set it up for the other CF card partitions too. You will find that the next partition also has data on it - from Andy's MEMU package, so a lot of the stuff is Spectrum related which w...

Hi Guys, after recovering from the overwhelming demand to join the beta-test program :lol: . . . . I am getting geared up to make CFX available on general release, the price hasn't been finalised yet, but it would help if you could tick one of the boxes in this poll - no commitment to buy - just to ...

Re: What NEW hardware you think would be useful for your MTX

Mostly, I would like the time needed to play. However a few random thoughts: Back in the day, having got CP/M, what I most wished for was high resolution graphics (at least 640x480x256 colours with programmable palette).
