My (supposed to be) preliminary version has a few differences in the catalog, the ROM header is different, there is no "PRINT FCNS" header and the order of the printer functions is different:

-EXT IL1A
CLRBUF
DIRLEFT
DIRSIZE
NAMEMED
READBUF
READCAL
READXM
RECLEFT
SCOPYFL
SCREATE
SDIR
SNEWM
SWRTA
SWRTK
SWRTP
SWRTPV
SWRTS
WRTBUFX
WRTCAL
WRTXM
PRTAID
X>AR
ATOBUFX
MCLIST
MCPRP
SACA


Checksum=123 (hex)

However, apart from the historical interest, I don't think it is needed to include the two versions in a module library.

I agree with that J-F, specially if one seems to be a superset of the other. I think the image I have I got from TOS, so it's available to anyone for download as well.

Now if those other ones still shared would surface... but not good prospects I'm afraid.

Cheers,

Ciao.....Mike

the article title was 'Debugging the Devil", and yes I patched my copy of the module appropriately ;-) It's true this module is half empty, which is handy to add more stuff to it not only the Skwid patch. Mine has a ton of stuff from the EXT-IO so I onlu need one module most of the time.

The patch was a replacement for the OS [BCDBIN] routine, which caused issues in functions RREG, WREG and OUTBINY.

That would be Volume 11, Number 5, Page 6 (June, 1984).

Bravo!

[Ángel Martin]

It's that time of the year again... and to celebrate it what a better toy than a new ROM image?
And loyal to my proposal - here it is for everybody's enjoyment...

Here you have it, the HANDY COMPACT ROM in all its glory.
BTW the manual was already available at TOS

Now if only other folks would follow suite... but altruism isn't the sign of the times, I get it.

Best,

Many thanks, Ángel, I've been looking for that ROM for a long time!

Great but, where is the ROM image?

[TASP]

I saw it for sale somewhere. Didn't buy it.

I keep hoping whoever did get it turns up here, hence the reminder about it's existence.

So, Angel - I'm back from holiday and sawyour post.... Yes, we discussed before, we know:

So let's make "Butter bei die Fische", as we german speaking people say: What is missing in your collection. I will gently have a look at my collection and will write down the pürice I had to pay for these modules. If I'm correct we had in the past once a person, woh spread it's source / software for a fixed ammount the community has to gather. I'm open to share my modules, but I would like to get back a part of my investment.

Obviously the meaning of the word "sharing" is lost in the translation. Last time I looked it up in the dictionary it didn't say anything about paying - in any shape or form.

How much for a copy of the 71B 0AAAA ROM?

We have a agreement! You have the same dictionary as I. The word "collecting" also does not implement paying money for the items and I do have to. I would really share all images for free if I would also get the hardware modules for free. Why should I pay a lot of money (mainly because I get outbid by other users) and the should share it for free?

Angel, I *really* would like to make steps towards you as I'm shure you, the community and me would get benefits on future software from your hands, but I do not see a approach on your side. What is YOUR offer?

Hi Matthias,

One pays for a piece of hardware, shares the firmware, and keeps the hardware. Some members here contribute their time, some contribute software/firmware in their collection, and some do both. See the 71B Compendium for an example of sharing software and firmware and contributing an enormous amount of time (Thanks Sylvain).

Why share things for free? Well, I can say that I've received a number of items from members for free and I like to think it's because I've shared things from my collection or contribute my time. Do you need a better reason?

Dave

[Garth Wilson]

Sharing makes what we have more valuable, because sharing increases the support base, the interest, the exchange of ideas, the vision of the possibilities, etc..
