Re: Jr Cartridge blank for eprom
fantastic work! We should give the bootloader to one of those demo scene guys who can put an entire chess game into a boot sector to see if they can optimize it further to make the menu pretty but still fit. :) After I'll get experience how to write for ROM using C/C++ then I'll do better compressi...

Re: Jr Cartridge blank for eprom

Re: A Peek into the Future?
Thanks to alanh - now I have jrIDE (not yet connected) and just got 3 boards for SuperCART from OSHpark:

Re: Jr Cartridge blank for eprom
makes sense then why colorpaint when launched directly from my "carts on floppy" disk fails to load. No DOS == no worky. If I ever go back into that project for another update I will remove colorpaint completely. or you can make your disk DOS-bootable and call your menu program from AUTOE...

Re: Jr Cartridge Ethernet {IDEA}
How about VGA output vis-à-vis the TRS80 M1 MISE http://bartlettlabs.com/MISE/index.html (which uses a WIZ830MJ)? Mike I think it's too much (especially for the price $330 - you can buy brand new computer for that : ) I want to keep price below $100 (preferably around $50, but not for the 1st batch)
