• CBM Free Magazine, Issue 56 - Part 5

    From Stephen Walsh@39:901/281 to All on Wed Dec 7 10:24:17 2011
    replaced by CBM prg Studio.

    What Is It?
    CBM prg Studio allows you to type a BASIC or machine code program in using a nice Windows environment and convert it to a '.prg' file which you can run on an emulator, or even real hardware if you're feeling brave and have the right kit.

    The following machines can be developed for:
    - Commodore 64
    - Commodore 128
    - VIC 20

    What CBM prg Studio isn't is a front-end for tok64, cbmcnvrt, bastext or any other tokeniser/ detokeniser/ assembler. It's all been written completely from scratch.

    Mini SD 1541 DRIVE
    *****************

    Rik Magers made his own version of the Commodore 1541 disk drive. He started with a uIEC from Jim Brain Designs. The uIEC has JiffyDOS and the ability to store up to 32GB. Rik got hold of a small plastic box that looks similar to a real 1541. After cutting, tweaking and several tubes of glue, he had a mini version of the 1541 including working LEDs on the front
