Last post by hatman72 - 20:53, 13 July 25Quote from: Rabs on 13:13, 13 July 25Maybe this video may helpThat does look very similar, and I have seen mine produce the pattern in different colours occasionally, especially if the cassette deck is plugged in. It does look like a sensible thing to check.
.
In this video there is a similar screen pattern, sometimes, but also the usual grey screen black border RAM problem display.
You cannot view this attachment.
In this GadgetUK finds that IC112 74LS32 Quad OR is faulty. Not quite sure how the floating output he finds relates to the issue as pin 11 selects the printer latch but pin 8 does select the data latch (by the way I made pin 8 float on my test board and I get the usual grey screen RAM problem symptoms).
No idea if this is the same as your problem but saw it and thought I would share.

I first heard about this a few weeks ago (7.6.) when Christian (Perifractic) posted his idea of buying Commodore on his channel. At first, I thought it was a silly joke, but then it happened very quickly, so it was probably planned for a while.
Christian 'Peri Fractic' Simpson is a nice guy; I wrote with him a few years ago when he did an episode about SymbOS for the Amstrad PCW.
I have no idea how this will end, but for a start, it sounds very nice that an enthusiastic person like him is now a leading part of the new "Commodore Company" team
I wish we could have the same for Amstrad, but I'm not sure how enthusiastic Lord A.M.S. is about the CPC spirit. At least it's very cool and an honor to have the CPC as the title screen of his new website.

No resurrection possible.
Its more like snatching corpses.

If it is the real Ultimate64 (from Gideon) under that case (maybe an older batch, not the Elite I/II), then the price is pretty nice.

What's new?
- File names are now only displayed up to 27 characters long; the remaining characters are hidden because otherwise they would overflow (see Dodogildos post before). I wasn't expecting such long (DSK) names at first.
- Hotkeys are implemented in all three windows. They are the same as in the OS, except for I and O. They are displayed at the bottom of the screen. There are also U for Untag, which untags all file names, and A for retagging ALL previously used files. See: https://www.cpcwiki.eu/forum/programming/futureos-corner/msg250713/#msg250713
- Information help-text at the lower part of the screen.
PDT: The problem is more complex and shows only up when reading a DIR entry name. It's solved, so everything is fine. But thanks for caring.

Yeah, Compute's Gazette's so-called "first edition in 35 years" has a coverage on them. Free download: https://www.computesgazette.com/free-edition/

Quote from: Dmanu78 on 16:47, 06 July 25@andycadley : I'm very curious about your test code. Don't hesitate to let me know if you notice any differences. This will help me improve the emulation.It doesn't seem to like my scan line doubling code:
GX4000 scan line doubling
Haven't really dug into why though. My poor old laptop struggles running the emulation, so it might be time to think about getting a new one.

If it's as good as it says, the price point is nice. But somehow I doubt this will go down well...
