The Texas Instruments Expansion System (PEB) although fully functional, needs a restoration, for example; some parts of the top and bottom cover are rusty.

Commodore Amiga 600 (Black Screen) Repair

Defect:

  • Black Screen.

Replaced parts:

  • 4 x Electrolytic Capacitor 10uF 35v
  • 2 x Electrolytic Capacitor 22uf 35v

Note:

The Amiga 600 Motherboard looks in good conditions; no traces of a acid leakage from capacitors, as usually happens on Amiga 600/1200/4000, but all had a too high ESR (Equivalent Series Resistance).

CBM prg Studio v3.2.0 released

October 29th, 2014 No comments

CBM prg Studio Version 3.2.0 is released. There are a lot of new features in this version. I’d really appreciate it if you report any bugs you find or have any suggestions/comments.

CBM prg Studio allows you to type a BASIC or Machine Code program in using a nice Windows environment and convert it to a ‘.prg’ file which you can run on an emulator, or even a real C64 / VIC20 or PET if you’re feeling brave and have the right kit.

CBM prg Studio is the result of merging C64PrgGen and VIC20PrgGen. Adding new features and fixing bugs in two apps which were 95% similar was a bit of a nightmare so merging them made sense.

It was also a good opportunity for a face lift and to add some new features, such as:

  • Programs are project based, meaning all related source files, sprite files etc. are kept in one place and multiple source files can be linked more easily.
  • Tabbed MDI.
  • Syntax highlighting.

What CBM prg Studio isn’t is a front-end for tok64, cbmcnvrt, bastext or any other tokeniser / detokeniser / assembler. It’s all been written completely from scratch.

New features:

  • PTEXT and NULL directives.
  • NULL added to GenerateTo directive.
  • Colour printing.
  • Source overview.

Bug Fixed:

  • Assembler:
    • Reformatting code.
    • Some arithmetic problems with variables.
  • Basic:
    • Some screen code fixes.
    • Renumbering TRAP keyword (BASIC 3.5 & 7)
    • Mixing upper/lower case in DATA statements.
    • Wrong load address for some C128 BASIC projects.
  • General:
    • Better support for Turkish language.
    • Wrong toolbar shown after start-up page.
    • Case sensitive auto-complete
    • Problems with the build events.
