Intermission #3 – ZX Spectrum Next keyboard

This is a timely break to report on my recent investigations about the ZX Spectrum Next keyboard. Recently the ZX Spectrum Next team released a new distribution of the “SYSTEM/NEXT” package, calling it “22.09”. One interesting component of this is

#20: Developer tools etc on the Pi 400 emulation

There is an advantage to having done the setup of all the elements needed a few times. I have been developing a scripted “install” of almost all the development files required on the emulated Amiga environment. Having said that things

#19: AmigaOS 3.2 on the Pi 400

Last time we used some “scripts” and such to create an FS-UAE configuration ready to install the Amiga operating system. Time to start the emulator: The emulated Amiga should boot to a Kickstart screen and Fn+F2 (how you get F12

#18: Raspberry Pi 400, emulator config

So last time I successfully got a “self-built” version of the FS-UAE Amiga emulator to execute on my Raspberry Pi 400… But how can I “port” my environment over? GitLab… Over time I can populate a remote git repository as

#17: The Raspberry Pi 400

I’ve long been fascinated by the Raspberry Pi series, and have a cased though admittedly barely used original “Model B” to prove it. A few days ago I had the idea of a “400” being my new Amiga development machine

Intermission #2 – Plans are for changing…

A lot of my “free time” in 2022 so far has been pre-occupied but have had some successes resurrecting old source code and fixing bugs in ancient code. As previously mentioned, I have located the “BRU” backup files I made

Intermission – Re-visiting my past

I moved from Amiga to PC somewhat gradually starting probably late 1995. I actually got my first experience of Linux from a very early edition of Linux Unleashed from SAMS Publishing as myself and a friend assembled our PCs from

#16: Assembly startup, AmigaDOS vs Workbench

In the previous article there was mention of a file “wbinit.s” along with comment it was worth talking about by itself. Let’s talk! One thing C programmers take for granted is a lot of work has already been done before

#15: The saga of PutBoot and TDWrite2

For a lot of “demo coders” tools to write directly to floppy disks were as necessary as assemblers to build the demos. I created my own because I needed the tools and didn’t have access to or even know any

#14: I created a library? Why did I create a library?

One “shock” when trying to build a development system that could re-build my old code with just readily legally available tools (ideally most via Aminet) was the re-discovery that some of my own tools used my own library, aardvark.library. At
