Today it works as you posted. Still looks funny but works. Must have been user error. I blame assembly for making my brain tired. :D

Can't enter "=" into VICE monitor

In the Windows version of VICE monitor if I type an equals sign something like a dash but not exactly a dash is echoed back. So for example: bk 100d if A == $41 Looks like: bk 100d if A -- $41 And I get an error because monitor is expecting an operand. I can type a plus just fine and every other key...

Re: RS232 value of first character is doubled

Framing error is confirmed.

To fix, I just stored $01 to NINONE ($A9) right after the call to OPEN ($FFC0) and all is well!

Re: RS232 value of first character is doubled

Very interesting comments about RS232 in this post: https://sleepingelephant.com/ipw-web/bulletin/bb/viewtopic.php?p=119706#p119706 RINONE ($A9), the flag used to record when a start bit is received is not initialized when an input channel is set up. As a result a framing error occurs when the first...

RS232 value of first character is doubled

I have this program that opens the RS-232C device and waits for characters. I have a terminal set for 1200 baud connected to COM4 and I have the same settings in the VICE Userport RS232 section. The program displays the hex value of any character typed on the terminal keyboard. On program restart, t...

Re: My PCBs are here!

How much were the pcb's? It was $40.95 including shipping for 10 boards, 2 carts per board (they break apart). These are ENIG. HASL is cheaper but a raging debate about HASL had started on the forum when I was ordering so I went with ENIG. Gold plating is even more so I stuck with ENIG, they're for...

Re: My PCBs are here!

where did you get your eprom programmer? It's a TL866CS from Amazon, $49.90 with free shipping: http://a.co/3B31g71 The software is simple to use. I did it in a Windows 10 vm on my Macbook, worked great. I had to manually re-attach the USB device from the VirtualBox menu during the firmware update ...

Re: My PCBs are here!

IT WORKS! The last component I needed, solder of all things, arrived from Amazon today, so... I soldered an IC socket and capacitor to one of the new boards. Then I dl'ed Attack of the Mutant Camels from zimmers, deleted the first two bytes and burned it to an eprom with a cheapo eprom programmer. P...

Re: The VIC 20 is brilliant thread

I'm loving my Vic-20 today because it's the only area of my computing life where I don't have to worry about meltdown and spectre. The 6502 is definitely not vulnerable!

I uploaded the file to DirtyPCBs, and voilà, the above appeared in my mailbox.
