Well, that subject says it all. I've seen the ZX spectrum
emulator, and it makes me wonder what it would take to
do a zx81 emulator. It should be possible to make it
relatively fast AND 99.99 "compatible". If one could xploit
the fact, that the z80 does not have to build the screen too.
(the machine goes 4 times faster in FAST mode). I really
like the idea, but I'm no programmer. At least I'm not
that good, so I just thought I'd mention it, if the
man/woman who wants to do the job just needed to be reminded.
Well, nostalgia is for me. And no, this is not an april joke!@

I hate April 1. Even if I state, that it's NOT a 1. of april
joke, people won't be sure!

Yeah! A ZX-81 Emulator. It would probably be easier than fixing the ZX-81 (assuming that I could even find it :-). It probably wouldn't be too practical but it's nice to know that someone else in the world likes the ZX-81. Actually, a ZX-81 was my first computer. Which led to a C-64, which led to an A-500, which led to an A-2000, which led to an A-1000..... dave

There's a ZX81 Emulator (with a bunch of PD programs) available from the atari.archive (atari.archive.umich.edu, I think) for the Atari ST. Since there's an ST emulator for the Amiga, why not run it, and then run the ZX81 emulator? Impress your friends! Running a ZX81 on an Atari, on an Amiga... :-) -- C. Miguel Borges |"Cyberspace.
