Thanks! Soon be plenty for sale!

Yup, WS4 is a good piece of software. It feels like you are in the 80s.

No problem 😊

The situation is this: On some, if you set the flow control settings, then read them back, they have been set, and work. On others if you set them and read them back, one of the bits has not been set, and it doesn't ever do hardware flowcontrol.

You won't have much longer to wait.

I didn't even know you could put a watch on an ebay account!!!

@@CircuitBreaker256 I found your previous listing which had all sold out. Then I checked your other items for sale which of course returned an empty page. Then I clicked on save search & enabled email notifications!

I've just been testing my new board & am very impressed. Although I've not spent that long with it I did come across an unusual bug. In the main menu if I run the "Life Game" then exit - every time I hit c for C/PM it takes me into Tiny Basic until I completely repower the board (Reset doesn't do the trick)!! As you've admitted you will surely find a few more bugs - but keep up the great work and I look forward to your next video.

@@slm60uk Fantastic that you've got your board already! Interesting bug you've got there. I'll take a look. I only just added those two extra menu items (Tiny basic & Game of life) so I may have made a mistake there.

I did that in a previous version of this project, and it was actually a pain and not as fast as real ROM and a UART. I have a baud rate of 460,800 with this UART, which I think is pretty speedy, and the ROM is as fast as the CPU. I have to say that using the real components is a lot simpler and more reliable. Plus a bit more "retro"!

I think you are right. It is surprising that there isn't an editor that easily allows you to edit, assemble and run a Z80 program. Or if there is, I haven't heard of it. Something like Turbo Pascal but assembler-based. Maybe I should write one. It's also a real shame that there is no "C" equivalent of Turbo Pascal, which I think would be the best possible programming environment.

@@CircuitBreaker256 HiSoft C for CP/M? ;-)

@@Xalior I'll check it out!

Oooh, it is looking good!

@@Xalior Do you have all of Hisoft C, including ED80 .com? I can't find that bit.

You probably could use WordStar, but te.com or zde.com are much better.

@@CircuitBreaker256 QE.COM is my favourite

@@Xalior I can't find QE.COM, where can I get a copy please?

@@CircuitBreaker256 It’s part of CPMish, which is BSD2 licenced. Available from cowlark.com :-)

Yes, Wordstar has a non-document mode specifically for editing code and raw text. Its what we all used back in the day! Cheers Phil

Yes, I've got 5 kits and about 8 fully-assembled boards. I'm putting them on eBay today.

I have done that under CP/M with ZSID. It's software single-step, not hardware single step though. TBH I always find single-step more useful in theory than in practise though. My approach is usually to put in a ton of debugging messages that appear on screen.

Well I say "Buy Oss" and "Bee doss"!

@@CircuitBreaker256 i say it same but i like how name look

Not right now, but will be soon...
