Rainbow Writer

My favorite utility. Does anyone have a scan of the manual to upload?

I've created a font if 64 char mode to that's all 3x7, so chars are readable in pmode3.

Thank you.

Re: Sprint Basic Compiler

Hi I used it quite a lot in one of my own person projects, which was to re-write the '50 games on one cassette' games to be something decent. It was very exact in what you had in your basic program, and I found myself re-compliing lots of times because of syntax rather than logical coding errors. At...

Re: Hardware Sprite Board

OK This is going to make me sound a bit silly, but I've looked through DU and this has prompted me to remember a bit more... It was a news article, not advert, and I don't think it was DU either. It was 'coming soon' and was pitched at around £100, i wasn't Basic 42 or Sprite Magic or the compusense...

Re: Superdos in upper memory

Hi Yes to both Now I come to think of it, it must of been on the 64, and I suppose it was the buffers, the main advantage I remember was that the Text and Graphics screens memory stayed in the same place rather than moving up 1024 or was in 4096 bytes?

Superdos in upper memory

I used to own a switchable DOS cart with Dragon DOS and SuperDOS E6 on, it had a switch on to select the version, the superdos would load up into upper memory giving you all of the standard D32 memory to play with. Does anyone know how that was achieved and if any emulators support it. XROAR etc. Th...
