C64 Studio v1.5

August 4th, 2011 No comments

C64 Studio is a .NET based IDE written by Georg Rottensteiner. This app supports project based C64 assembly.

The internal assembler is using the ACME syntax. In connection with Vice the IDE allows you to debug through your code and watch variables/memory locations, registers and memory.

Any other emulator can be set up as well if it’s startable via runtime arguments. C64 Studio allows you to compile to raw binary, .prg, .t64 or cartridge format (.bin and .crt for 8k and 16k). Additionally to this C64 Studio comes with a charset and sprite editor.

Version history:

31.07.2011 – 1.5:

  • Fixed bug in parsing !byte with binary values.
  • Fixed bug in file info storage, sometimes error messages were accredited to the wrong file.
  • Fixed bug where warnings were not displayed (segment overwrite).
  • Added charset/sprite functions as buttons.
  • Changed charset copy/paste to always use clipboard

Unboxing KIT Pocket 1541 Plus Limited Edition 2011

August 3rd, 2011 4 comments
 Pocket 1541 Plus + PocketCard 64

Autopsy:

The interface 1541 Pocket Plus is a evolution of the Pocket 1541 released a few years ago. The 1541 Pocket Plus emulates the Commodore 1541 floppy drive with an SD (Secure Digital). The firmware like many Floppy Drive Emulation Interfaces for the C64 is based on the Open Source project SD2IEC and its operation is very simple and transparent, the interface is powered directly from the C64.

What can I do with it? It’s easy to say, with a normal SD (Secure Digital) you can store your favorites games and programs and you can load from the C64 everything directly from your memory card (SD), no more disk drives or datassette.

The differences from previous version, there are many, i’m going to list only the most important.

  • 5VDC Powered from the Cartridge port of the Commodore 64.
  • New CPU ATMega 1284PU (128k) clocked at 8MHz.
  • External 48-pin Expansion slot.
  • Internal expansion slot for future implementations.
  • PocketCard with Bank Switching and 4Mbit flash memory (interchangeable)
  • PocketCard PC 64 software can allows you to create Flash files for the 29F040.
  • External Kernal with addon PocketCard PC 64 (requires PocketPLA 64).
  • PocketPLA 64.

My first impression: I must say that has made a very good impression, the KIT Pocket 1541 Plus consists of several components built in an absolutely accurate and professional. The use of the addon PocketCard 64 at first time may be a bit complex for a beginner, but following the manual (you can find on the seller’s site) the configuration becomes easy and fun.

The Kernal cartridge mode is a very nice features, it overrides the PROM 901227. This feature requires the installation of the PocketPLA 64 and is only compatible with the Commodore 64 first edition (brown) with a PLA 906114.

In the sad case that the PocketPLA 64 can not be installed on your Commodore 64, the PocketCard 64 can be used to speed up the file loading with a TurboDisk Cartridge. The PocketCard 64 supports all types of cartridges (Ultimax or Standard) including games or utility. You can use the software PocketCard-64 to generate the file for the 29F040 flash with your compilations of Programs/Games or Kernal.

I suggest to buying this kit to all Retro Fans of the Commodore including people who want to ‘hack’ and not just play ;-D

Atari Monitor SM124

Atari Monitor SM124

Autopsy:

The Atari SM-124 is a high-resolution monochrome monitor designed to be used with the ST series of computers. It is capable of 640×400 resolution at 72Hz in black and white and has a very sharp picture, though the actual viewing area onscreen is quite small, a large black border of about .5 inches or more surrounding the entire screen.

For serious work on the ST, including MIDI sequencing, telecomunications, word processing, etc. the SM-124 is a much nicer monitor than it’s color counterpart

Atari Mega ST2 (PCB Rev 5.0)

Atari Mega ST2 (PCB Rev 5.0)

Autopsy:

The Mega ST was Atari’s first major enhancement to the ST line of computers. With 1MB or 4MB memory (expandable with add-on cards), built in BLITTER graphics chip, and MegaBUS expansion Slot all packaged into a nice clean pizza-box case the ST line of computers received a boost in power, expandability and professional looks.

Atari was moving forward in the right direction. Also introduced along with the Mega ST line was Atari’s direction into the desktop publishing field.

Atari introduced the SLM804 Laser Printer which attached to the Atari DMA interface port and also the desktop publishing package. Also introduced was the Atari Megafile hard drive system to add stackable harddrive modules onto the Mega ST.
