RobertLM78 Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 ...Apart from that, the colors need some adjustment; the TMS9918 emulation is much closer to the real thing I thought the colours seemed a bit off .

suberbanator Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 Hi ! For who never seen the z80 card for ti99 (like me before of now !!), i post here some picture... ;-D i'm really curious to test it on my Peb but I am very worried ... I would not break it. I Will Scan the manual in next weeks and will save on my site in download Section where you can be found a lot of other things. i have tried one a friend had i it just used cpm disks i had through the p box disk drive as far as cpm disks go my collection by now may have deteriored over time Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/174989-my-first-z80-card-for-peb/page/2/#findComment-3418699 Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Ksarul Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 If you still have any of those disks, it would be nice if you could image them and make them available. TI CP/M disks are not common at all. . .and definitely are worth preserving. 1 Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/174989-my-first-z80-card-for-peb/page/2/#findComment-3418763 Share on other sites More sharing options...

peterfleeman Posted November 14 Share Posted November 14 (edited) I'm guessing I know the answer to this question already, but do we have an archive of the CP/M software for the Morning Star Processor card? (Don't read too much into this question. I may have found one, but have not confirmed yet. Blurry pictures look promising, though. VERY EXCITED) One way or another, what I found does NOT include any floppies unfortunately.

+Ksarul Posted November 14 Share Posted November 14 IIRC, the MorningStar card used the same CP/M variant as the Osborne I did, right down to the disk formats used. It is definitely nice that one may finally be turning up in the wild! 3 Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/174989-my-first-z80-card-for-peb/page/2/#findComment-5565543 Share on other sites More sharing options...
peterfleeman Posted November 14 Share Posted November 14 There’s a detailed review here: https://archive.org/stream/HomeComputerMagazine_Vol5_02/Home_Computer_Magazine_Vol5_02_djvu.txt I thought the “windowed” interface would require more than an 8k rom to work, but now I’m realizing it means you can only see a portion of the CP/M screen at a time. Ironic when you think of the tiny Osborne screen. I have tons of Osborne I CP/M software so hopefully I’ll be ready to go. I will happily post pictures and rom dumps, etc. But I don’t want to get ahead of myself either. 1 1 Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/174989-my-first-z80-card-for-peb/page/2/#findComment-5565577 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, in short, the card will allow a user to run Z80 Assembly code plus the Colecovision game cartridges, with a big increase of speed compared to other Z80 computers.
