Re: Orchestra-90 CC

Hi Tony, thanks a lot for the new version. I will try it this afternoon and tell you how it goes for me! Good luck hunting the Orchestra cartridge. Right now the price seems affordable. But bids use to arise in the very last minute! cheers pere EDIT. Sorry, I didn't read the whole message and so, I ...

Re: Tano and artifacts

Hi,
I have tried connecting a 100nF capacitor in parallel to XL2 crystal, but that simply kills the video output signal!
I thought that this could have just prevented the color burst to be created :-(
It's a pity there is no info about the video circuit for the TANO ...

Re: Orchestra-90 CC

@Tony I have installed Strawberry Pearl for Windows 64 bits. Immediately have run: perl asc2cas.pl axelf2.asc >axelf2.cas --- because if not redirected, the output goes to the screen. The result is a file 2599 bytes long but the one you uploaded was 2749 bytes long The main difference is that the ta...

Re: Orchestra-90 CC

Hi Tony, great work! I have downloaded it ... will have to search for Perl in order to install it in my Windows 7. Next step for the real Cartridge would be some sort of program to convert the other files in that web, the .ORC ones so that we could load them via tape recorder cable too. thanks a lot...

Tano and artifacts

Hello,
does anybody know an easy way to avoid the artifacts when working in PMODE2-4 with that machine?
I won't matter to hack the board and add a switch.

Any advice will be very appreciate

Re: New DOS Carts developed

In the maltedmedia CoCo group, there is a member with the name of John Strong that builds cases for the CoCo-SDC
Hopefully he could make this for us, but he will need the exact board measures (or better a real board) and there should be
a minimum number of orders, I think ...

Re: Orchestra-90 CC

@Tony I have been comparing the original .ASC file with your converted .CAS and was thinking of making a Java app to do that work on all the files in a folder ... (on my Windows machine) But to verify that the result is OK, I would like to compare not only one file (axelf) but some others too. Would...

Re: Orchestra-90 CC

Awesome that it works! Unlike my speech-sound pak, it's not just a peripheral cartridge, it comes (as Sorchard says) with a program for building and playing its own format of score files. The keyboard mapping is a pain - I'm hoping I can work out how to patch the ROM so it works on the Dragon (alth...
