Hi all Having decided to learn C I figured it would be a good use of my new 512, otherwise I will just end up playing a few games and then it will end up in a cupboard. I’m looking for a C compiler for CP/M for my 512 with a REMEMorizer (the 80 by 48 column display is awesome!). Ideally it needs to ...

Thanks Dave. Looks like precision work which is not really my forte! However I do have some reading glasses on order so that should help a little. I might see if I can get someone to make up an extender first though. Unfortunately given my lack of desk space I have to share fun computers with my wor...

Quick sketch:


The Rememorizer has a relatively small connection footprint looking inside it but the edge connector extender that I got for my Spectrum has a much larger connection footprint.

I have recently acquired a 512 and a Rememorizer but am struggling with the Rememorizer a bit. When I plug it in it has to be in a VERY exact position to work - only plugged in about 1/3 of the way. Unless in this position it either gets no lights on the board at boot or just two reds that don’t cha...

I have ordered a set of DuPonts but think I have one of those lying aroun...

Well, nearly in business. In spite of being careful the keyboard ribbon has given up so I will have to replace that. Time to order some DuPont leads I guess.

Looks like I’m in business!
