#BetaDisk

2024-10-11

Since #SoloForth won't play along with the #DivMMC expansion on my #harlequin128k, I tried some of the various #Forth compilers for the #ZXSpectrum and eventually found #ZXForth also known as #SpectrumForth - I run a patched version of the original program once released by #ArcticComputing which now supports #trdos #betadisk

The patched version with TR-DOS support can be downloaded here:

A Sinclair ZX Spectrum 128K clone (Harlequin 128K)  in a transparent, classic "rubber key" case with anodized titanium faceplate. It's connected to a 7" LCD displaying the text "Hello World!" 22 times, each line shifting the text by one space.Closeup of the ZX-FORTh startup screen:

morning musings: I love #betadisk the de-facto standard #floppy #disk #controller for the #ZXSpectrum - it really takes the little #rubber #key #box to another dimension ...
