Something like this.

We need another fix to main for compressed UEF files to work. I should have tested before i switched headers. sorry -- I will post when it is working correctly. Working on a tape status dialog for all the classic computers that have tape. With a status bar..

I will release tape support when the new mister binary ships..

The B has a different disk controller I believe. We have the disk controller working on Master. Tapes work on electron soon. The bbc is missing two chips to allow it to have tape and serial support.. is the software on tape?

Laser 310
- fixed video, timing issues, blinking cursor, incorrect fonts

Are there buttons with little displays on them?

I think I have the hard parts worked out. I just need some time to finish the code.

We don’t have tape loading from a uef file. We need to convert the uef into raw in the mister binary and feed it in. A few more days of work.

I am not sure why Sorg didn't push the new Beeb core. Thanks to SupraDeus I have the tape working on Electron, I need to add the converter to MiSTer main.

Laser 310
+ New 15khz video
+ added sound

Does anyone have interest in helping me with the tape support? I am at a loss.. we need to examine the signaltap output, unless I am doing something silly.

On the latest Coco2 core: When I switch to Dragon32 I only get a green screen. Do I need a specific boot.rom to switch to Dragon 32? This seems to happen only when changing the Cartridge>Disk first, and choosing the Machine later. The other way around it's okay. But, yes, I also get the I/O error when trying the disks. Hopefully @alansxw or some o...

Is it useful to have a load vhd option in the menu?

The " key on my keyboard give me a star. Do you have a proper MMC SDCARD image installed as boot.vhd?

Tatung Einstein TC01

That did it! I think my directory was a residue from the old days.

Thanks for the tip, and thanks again to @alansxw for sorting out yet another obscure-but-wonderful machine for us.

I changed the path to match the Atom.. Sorry!

The keyboard seems like a problem. I am open to suggestions and/or help with the documentation.

CoCo2
* Fixed Dragon 64 Mode
* Added Floppy support to CoCo2
* Added experimental floppy support to dragon (through coco compatibility)

Acorn Atom
+ fixed joystick
+ fixed video (15khz)
+ shift-f10 will boot into boot.vhd SSD image for MMC card

Acorn Electron
+ first release of port by oldgit
+ fixed video 15khz, added joystick
+ requires boot.vhd SSD image for MMC card

Atari Subs
- new arcade game by James Sweet ported to MiSTer with the help of Gehstock, alanswx, and JasonA

3. Does the MiSTer run everything off the SD card in terms of the cores, OS and MiSTer versions, etc. or does contents of the SD card actually change something on the MiSTer on a hardware level or I should say, internally somewhere on the MiSTer or is the SD card the heart and soul? ie. If I mess something up with the new 256gb SD card install, po...

CoCo3
- first alpha release - please make issues in github
- Port of Gary Becker's famous CoCo3 by Stan Hodge

Most of the arcade games run correctly without an SDRAM module. You don't have to use the Analog I/O board for 15Khz output; you can use an HDMI to VGA adapter on the HDMI port. I personally use a VGA to SCART adapter to connect it to a 15Khz display, but I am in Europe where most non-HDMI 15Khz displays have an RGB SCART connection. So your minim...

Maybe for the UK cores, the keyboard layout is 'part of the thing,' but with Apple 2, there were all kinds of keyboard layouts, and they eventually evolved towards the PC style layout in the end. I prefer the PC layouts myself. The PC emulators I use mostly use PC layouts, and it's a quirk of mister, hunting around in oddball cores to find where t...

I have also been in discussions with alanswx. He is close to booting the same core. Yes [I will double confirm this with Gary but his source code is free now - its just a bit hard to find. I think between alanswx me we will get it working. -Stan Hi, you say it is available and open but hard to find. Why not give a link to it if you have found it. ...

I would say that is super expensive.. Keep watching for them. Or look in e-waste areas.

If it isn't super expensive, and has RGB input it would be worth playing with. Should be able to resell it easily if you don't need it.

Hi, Is this topic for discussing about updates or corrections suggested to the wiki ? (without the risk of being yelled "Just fix it yourself if you are not happy with it!") A small remark : sometimes informations are spread across 2 (official) sources, and one of them is not up to date. For example, I tried to build my SDRAM XDS v2.9 mo...
