Re: Would anyone like to complete Mighty Term?

Not trying to divert the thread, but are there any wireless versions of ethernet modems that work with the VIC-20? Like this but wireless (my VIC-20 is in another room nowhere near my internet modem/routher). And, once you have one, can you use it with MightyTerm just as if it were a regular (old) ...

Cool. Needs a link to that page from http://store.go4retro.com/vic-20-midi-cartridge/ as well. I'm not sure what the "main" page for the product should be to point folks to!

Re: VICMIDI release date?

Also, any update on the manual for the VICMIDI? We could really use some info about all the features and how to access them using POKE commands, etc. Unfortunately I can only speak to the MIDI side of things, but there's a preliminary manual linked here: http://jammingsignal.boards.net/thread/41/pr...

Re: VICMIDI release date?

Got mine yesterday!

I've created a dedicated VIC-MIDI forum if folks want to make use of it. That way can create multiple threads for different aspects without having to do so on Denial (the single thread is kind of limiting).

Is it supposed to do something more?
Load it with ,8,1 and then SYS64802 to start it.

It's written as an autostart cartridge image.

Help with VIC-MIDI Software

As seen elsewhere on Denial, Retro Innovations has released the VIC-MIDI cartridge for the VIC-20! I've been working on some code to implement the MIDI side of it. The MIDI In capability works very well (IMHO) but there are a couple of areas where I need some help: 1. MIDI Out capability. I added a ...

Re: What PCB layout software do you use?

I also want to look into Upverter which is a kind of neat spin in that it's online / collaborative with change tracking and so on (kind of a github for hardware projects).

Re: What PCB layout software do you use?

I use Fritzing. Free, open-source and pretty easy to use. Targeted at beginners (like me), but lacks a few features and the part library is a bit strange.

Re: Lemonade Stand for PET original file

I pieced them together from a mishmash of sources. You'll see the first few disks are glommed together, but here you go: https://www.dropbox.com/s/qzl4t66c2u36snu/Cursor.zip Edit: I didn't find Lemonade Stand after a brief scan of the directories, but it's a great archive and maybe it's under a diff...

Re: Usbourne books now online for free

I grew up with several of these books! Totally loved them, excellent introduction to programming which is now my career.

I still have the originals in my collection.

Re: Lemonade Stand for PET original file

Was it published in Cursor Magazine? I finally, finally got a working copy of the all the Cursor disks which had a ton of classic PET games. I can look and see if Lemonade Stand was among them.
