Re: Football Manager

I guess that the MFX could read each file into a high memory page as it has memory to spare. I wonder if the code could then trace through the first loader program looking for access to the tape hardware or ROM routine and then redirecting that to a routine to copy the data from the correct memory ...

Re: Football Manager

Interesting point on the memory limitations, but surely with the MFX and CFXII the machine has been expanded to 64k (unless asci cheaped out on tricking out those beauties :lol: ). So, I'm assuming it's because the game loads into the contiguous 32k starting at 8000h and basic/SDX disk routines shri...

Re: Only a week until the Retro-Comptuer Festival. Eek!

Wow! That was super generous of you, Stephen.

As for your description of festival-goers, I was firmly in the middle third.

Any reason that PMs just sit in the Outbox indefinitely?

Moderators, Claus: any idea what is happening?

Ah well, pity.

Re: Memofest 2023, Where and When?

Thanks Dave, I'd seen your PAL reader project before but missed the other projects.

It's a strange little expansion port, TBH, lower power draw only and it's inside the machine - which you have noted from selling various iterations of the CFX, a lot of folks have reservations on opening the case.
