Title: Searching a slide show disc from 1985
Post by: eto on 19:10, 19 January 21


I am looking for an old demonstration disc from probably 1985 that I first saw in the local stores here but at some point I also had a copy of it at home. It was just a pure slide show of digitized pictures, probably professional stock photos. It might have been "green screen only" as it never was presented on a color monitor in the stores and it clearly took advantage of the 16 "shades of green".

I remember that there were at least two images of (probably huge, industrial) gear wheels and I think another one, of an old man. Overall I think it was something around 8 different pictures that loaded from disc.

I also remember, that on the same disc there was a version for the 6128 which loaded 4 or 5 pictures into ram and then used bank switching to quickly switch between those pictures. [size=0.91rem] So far I couldn't find it here or on Google, so I'm not sure if that slide show was ever preserved. Any ideas if that still exists?[/size]

I've looked thru most of the slideshows on CPCPOWER and CPCRULEZ (I'm a big fan of them) and haven't ran across this one, doesn't mean it isn't there but I'm doubtful. Anyway I'll keep my eyes open and if I find it I'll give you a shout :)

Were there pictures with an 'Zahnrad', a foot, old person?

Didn't find it in a quick search. In case I'll find it, I'll post it.
