In answer to somebodies question: There is a Z80 disassembler written in BASIC for the Z88 on some of the Z88 BBS's (I have a backup saved on a vax up here, but it is in with a full file dump -- ANYBODY HAVE KERMIT YET?) At least one place that has it (and has phone#s for other places, and gives you extra sign on time if you join the Z88 discussion) is at 703 968-9438 (Vienna, VA) though I haven't called it in a month or so. They were even having a programming contest back then. Does anybody know of a supplier for the ZIF-socket EPROM cards mentioned in the Z88 tech notes? Sharps doesn't list them in their catalog... Has anyone thought about upping the clock speed? It would confuse the UART function of the PLD, but would the LCD handle it? Z80 chips exist at over twice the speed the Z88 is running it... Also, I've heard mention of a musical instrument program for the Z88. Anyone have pointers to it? Likewise, is their a US supplier for the cassette interface that is listed in the British Z88 magazine? Send me email and I'll summarize (besides, I read email daily but rrn is a pain to read on an 8 line screen...) Mark Eichin <eichin@athena.mit.edu>
