Headed out for a holiday cookout, but while I’m waiting for everyone… I need top 500, 1000,10k and 50k English word files in SEQ files. Was simple enough
I’ve read a lot of marginal documentation over the years. This one is in the bottom 5 of all time. I’ve read it twice and I still don’t know how to do anything with it.
Done a fair amount of Commodore Assembly now but never on the VIC 20. No time like the present. Seems simple enough but I’m going to have to find a decent editor, the monitor method only works so long.
Another new to me VIC 20 “untested” and cheap. Looks good, packed well and passes tests. Sweet.
Back to implementing Enigma. These rings are obviously horizontal for testing, but top down they are left, middle and right. Middle should rotate when right(bottom) gets to V (the “notch”) and top when middle gets to E. Making progress…
I’m doing a Pi computation demo over the weekend for some young people and want to do a couple on Vintage machines. Then I remembered that @8BitShowAndTell did one with Logo graphically. Perfect, I shall borrow (steal) Robin’s demo as well.
Just renewed my HAM radio license. N4LNX lives on for another 10 years ;-)
Earlier today I was annoyed when my truck’s software served me a damn ad. Then I remembered the flier in Pirates Cove from 1980. I guess this isn’t a terribly new idea. Be careful Chevy, or I’ll replace that software with a VIC 20
This little bastard was causing all kinds of gremlins to intermittently appear. Crazy how much better things run if the power into the board is clean.
Chased down a VIC-20 flickering screen for quite some time. Came down to this solder joint being weak. Reflowed it and all better
