The company still exists (www.vaisala.com)
And it seems there is a user manual for this product (https://novalynx.com/manuals/vaisala-haws-manual.pdf).
I guess it must have actually been released. Pretty rare though, I would imagine!

Re: PET Wifi Modem
How different is the PET user port to VIC-20? I wonder if the WiModem would work or if it needs some pins changed around to work on the PET ...

Re: Yoho - Scott Adams interpreter
I have been enjoying Yoho very much. Finally I can save my position easily when playing on real hardware (without a C2N datasette.) It is also much easier to instruct other people in the household how to run this on a real VIC-20, than the strange dance I had to do to load cartridge images into RAM,...

Re: Combining my Vics to make a good one?
VIC (2) sounds like a dying capacitor in the reset circuit. I have one that does not reset on power up but it works great if I use the reset button on my 32K RAM expander (Dorktronic.)

Thank you for bringing this thread back to life. I would love the d64 files too if anyone has them!

Re: Updated BASIC and KERNAL disassembly
Thank you so much for this!
I refer to your annotated disassembly quite a bit!!
Has anyone ever done this for the C64 ROMs? I am guessing they are not that different, but it would be interesting to compare and account for the differences.

Thanks Mike. Glad I asked - not sure I would have come up with that solution on my own!!

Re: How to determine if a file exists or not?
However this doesn't distinguish between zero-length file and a file that truly does not exist. How to do that?

Re: How to determine if a file exists or not?
I think I answered my own question. I should look at the value of ST. The '64' bit is end-of-file.
Code: Select all
10 OPEN2,8,2,"DOESNTEXIST,S,R"
20 GET#2,A$
30 IF (ST AND 64) <> 0 THEN GOSUB 1000
40 CLOSE 2
50 END
1000 PRINT "DOESN'T EXIST"
1010 RETURN

How to determine if a file exists or not?
I am wondering what is the correct way to determine if a file on disk exists or not under the VIC-20 kernal / Commodore DOS. If I do the following in BASIC: 10 OPEN2,8,2,"DOESNTEXIST,S,R" 20 GET#2,A$ 30 PRINTASC(A$) 40 CLOSE2 It prints 199. Is that some magic value meaning end-of-file? The...

Re: V-FORTH - Forth-83 for the VIC
For what it is worth, the little VICScript language I made last year has a primitive line editor which can be used to edit PETSCII SEQ files. Programs are loaded from plain text SEQ files. These files can be created in any text editor or word processor, so you are not stuck with my dreadful line edi...
