The very first computer games I ever played. Found them while cleaning my Mom's house this week!

A hand holding two cassette tapes of TS-1000 software. One is Pac Rabbit, the other is Ator the ABC Gator.

@mayasynth : Juste une petite question, est-il possible d'utiliser un #ZX81 (qui dort depuis quelques mois dans mon stock de "trucs à voir un jour") sur un écran avec une prise #Peritel ?

Zolder opruimen; jaargangen KIJK doorlezen (deel 12/veel):

Februari 1984 - Heel even gingen Clive Sinclair en Acorn samenwerken op technologisch vlak in 'MetaLab', later werden het uitdrukkelijke concurrenten. Omdat het misging. De KIJK had het in 1984 al wel over kunstmatige intelligentie, spraakherkenning en kennisbanken.

So, does anyone have any recommendations for an #Android #app that will record and play back #FLAC or #WAV #audio for use with old, #tape based #microcomputers such as the #ZX81 etc? I don't mean apps that serve a specific system (e.g. Speccy) but am looking for a #digital #replacement for #computer #audio #tapes.

One of the cool things about the #Minstrel4th is the fact that its #ROM not only contains the original #JupiterACE ROM and an Enhanced JupiterACE ROM by @nihirash (which enables program load via serial I/O amongst other things) - no: there are also #ZX80 and #ZX81 "compatible" #BASIC ROMs available on the additional banks, all selectable via jumpers.

The ZX81 compatible ROM works well enough to run "Flight Simulation" by Psion Computers.

EDIT: Oh, and it runs the ZX81 version of "Mazogs", of course ...

What will not work is anything that uses non-standard screen and keyboard routines, as the hardware of the Minstrel 4th is slightly different from the original ZX81. Still, it's a nice extra I didn't expect.

Le avait deux vitesses :
FAST (tu ne vois rien) et
SLOW (tu n’as plus le temps de voir)

Un éternuement et le RAM pack 16Ko s’éjectait dans une autre dimension…
