SmartBASIC - A Coleco Adam Forum

To tell the truth I’m not sure how - I really don’t understand the parameter blocks. I’m tempted to post all the source code so others ( you? ) can play with it.

I’m glad you’re making use of it

During the development of my current project with Turbo Pascal 3 and the graphic extensions, I encountered an odd bug where the pattern of any defined sprite beyond the 16th sprite was getting corrupted. I poured over my extensions code but could not find any problems there. Then I remembered the V...

Does the image make changes to the standard Adam VDP layout? Did you make changes to the BIOS calls? The vdp routines are ...

I set this beta test image up for James - it is setup as follows: A = 8mb drive (the image) B = Disk drive (or image on ADE) C & D = DDP drives 80 column (40 column at a time - use CTRL -> and CTRL <- to swap windows. It uses the escape sequences and control codes listed in the CP/M manual on D29 - ...

Yes thank you for this! Have you done any speed tests? How fast is TP versus ASM versus compiled basic etc?

Setting the baud rate made no difference. This happens no matter whether I have the serial cable connected to the WiModem or nothing at all. I don't have a null modem cable. The even stranger thing is that I still get the stream of D characters even if I don't connect anything to the side port! Thi...
