This is Adam specific as it uses the VDP text mode and the Adam keyboard key bindings.

Ok makes sense - did your try it in tdos?

Should work in theory. Writing that emulator is not for the faint-hearted however

Actually it may be - using the source code in the ADAMem- it already emulates the vdp

I thought of this a few days ago. Take a raspberry pi. Write a tms9928 emulator in c, python or other language. Hook up the data pins on the Adams vdp to the gpio pins of the pi as input only. Then have the emulator read what is being sent to the vdp and emulate it on the pi, displaying it on the hd...

Non-interleaved I think

That would probably be the issue - if it is a ddp image then its possible Eric's software wont work.

Hmmm... I created that disk using Virtual Adam and was using it normally. It looks like it got corrupted after trying to open it with AIM. Same thing seems to have happened with the disk attached, which contained a copy of the 2010 DDP files... Is it an interleaved disk image or non-interleaved ddp...

Is it possible to allow .dsk or .ddp image files to be uploaded here without zipping them up first?

Not sure - I’ll take a look at the settings

I found a copy of TP3 on the Adam Archive which sort of works, in that it will hang if one tries to edit a file using the TP3 integrated editor, but will however compile an external source file, such as one created with ADAMED. It's become clear that TP3 is not working well with the ADAM CP/M for s...

Hi. I just tried for the first time Turbo Pascal 3 under CP/M, but it refuses to compile anything, throwing the error "BEGIN EXPECTED" every time even with the simplest of test programs like the one below: program Test; begin writeln('Hello World!'); end. I tried entering that program using ADAMED ...
