Re: Hard to read forum colours

I should say that only the red text and icons need to be changed IMHO.

I like the black background.

Take a look at the QL forum, it's very similar : http://www.qlforum.co.uk/index.php

Re: Easiest way to get RGB out of the MTX?

Keep you posted about what? My adventures in CP/M assembly, or my adventures in VDP World? What I need to do is setup a tool chain under CP/M. Text editor, assembler, debugger. Dave's page has some good starters. Thing is, I'm also after a Tatung Einstein and that is very similar to the MTX, albeit ...

Re: Easiest way to get RGB out of the MTX?

Another stooped question. It says here that CP/M doesn't support graphics. But that doesn't stop me programming the VDP direct does it?

In other words, I could assemble and run a VDP program in CP/M just as easily as I could in ASSEM..

How long should it take to initialise? Cheers JonB Edit: this time round I followed the instructions. I...

Re: Easiest way to get RGB out of the MTX?

I'd be happy with composite, if it could give a better picture. Maybe some new capacitors in the video circuit? The Acorn Atom is the same, once the caps start to fail, the video signal goes wonky. New caps in, and the picture is crisp. Got the REMemorizer on order, but the 80 column output is not u...
