Amstrad CPC hardware / Re: USIfAC II:Convert a PC or ...

Last post by Mark_wllms - Yesterday at 22:12

Well it wasn't working, and was also showing garbage in some disk slots.
I've upgraded to 7.0c and it's working now, so maybe something got corrupted.

Well,i was referring to the newest firmware of the board, it's very likely that this was a bug with previous firmwares, that was fixed 

After further investigation I have realised that the problem only manifests when the USIFAC is in a case. I suspect the button is getting partially held down and this is causing confusion. Naked, the problem goes away.

When I bought my first 3" disks in 1987/1988, I had no problem with the prices, even though I really had no money at this time. Filling more than two of them with self-programmed games or applications seemed completely impossible to me at the time, because 178K was such an incredible amount of memory! So I was really happy because I didn't know anyone I could swap software with

oh shit, now it's getting even more off-topic

Awesome news! IMHO Saboteur 3 should stick with Mode 1. The problem with previous chapters was not the gfx but the sluggishness. Just fix this.

As discussed in another thread, TRH9000 doesn't seem to work with Amsdap. (Yet it's a great investment for MSX. Tons of fun there.)

Thank you very much! That's exactly what I needed! 

Should we expect soon an official futureos support for USIfAC/ULIfAC boards then?

I just remembered that I got this program: https://www.cpcwiki.eu/index.php/Deutast , but I didn't thought much about it.

Knowing that german CPCs have a QWERTY keyboard, makes sense now!

DM40? Wtf...

Well just the 3in Disk cost about DM20 at the time!

Bryce.

In 1987 I got 3" (Panasonic, the good stuff) for 5 DM already, when buying 10 pieces (49,90 DM) at media market in Munich.
Yes, discs are expansive (back then and again), but still one can see that they are a _bussiness_ company.

That's weird. Back then the GBP was at its highest against the DM, almost DM3 for 1 GBP. Yet I remember paying GDR500 for blank disks, when the British pound was about 540 drachmas...
