EasyCLI is a command shell for the Commodore 64 computer. EasyCLI is packaged as an EasyFlash cartridge. This gives EasyCLI the ability to boot the computer and bring the user straight to the shell without having to load and run a program from disk.

EasyCLI comes packaged with several built in commandlets, each of which is it’s own 8K program that is stored in the EasyFlash cartridge and loaded on demand.

Changelog:

• New command: ECHO – Outputs text following the command.
• New command: PAUSE – displays prompt and waits for user to input a key.
• New command: EXEC – Executes a script. Scripts are chains of commands that will be executed in a sequence. Scripts can be chained together by including another EXEC command at the end of the script. This is very useful because the longer a script is the longer it takes to execute the commands in the script since the script must be reloaded after each command, so chaining together small scripts is faster than one big script.

Matra 3600 Console is a Atari 2600 Jr Clone distributed in Italy by GRA.DI. S.r.l. Milan.

from Wikipedia:

The Atari 2600 is a video game console released in October 1977 by Atari, Inc. It is credited with popularizing the use of microprocessor-based hardware and cartridges containing game code, instead of having non-microprocessor dedicated hardware with all games built in.

The first game console to use this format was the Fairchild Channel F; however, the Atari 2600 receives credit for making the plug-in concept popular among the game-playing public.

Peter Jørgensen has released a new Beta version of his YM-2149 Tracker for M$ Windows. The sound chip YM-2149 is used in Atari ST/E/Falcon series.

New Function in Beta 12.021:

• Auto portamento.
• Buzzer Vibrato.
• Buzzer portamento.
• Unified frequent list.
• Turn Tone/Wave on-off in vibrato, bend and arpeggio.
• Vibrato Depth.
• Invert Vibrato for synth wave.

Beta 120.23 – note from the author:

i found 3 bugs in the tone-bend routine. and i have also change 2 of the functions in the program.

Before note-lock was affecting both S1 and S2 now you can set it to s1,s2 or both. I have also change bend-mode ramp-off to only turn off the source that is being bent. So if you bend only S1 then it is only S1 that is turn off after the bend is finish

The Thomson TO7 is a home computer introduced by Thomson SA in November 1982.

The TO7 is built around a 1 MHz Motorola 6809 processor. ROM cartridges, designed as MEMO7, can be introduced through a memory bay. The user interface uses Microsoft BASIC, included in the kit cartridge. The keyboard features a plastic membrane, and further user input is obtained through an optical pen. Cooling is provided by a rear radiator. Standard TV screens can be used as output through a Peritel connector.

An upgraded version, the Thomson TO7-70, was later released. Among improvements was an increased RAM of 64KB instead of 8KB.
