Here we have a lovely version of basic interpreter in p format.
https://zxart.ee/eng/software/tool/prog ... terpreter/
So the goal is to place it on an eprom and boot it up without stroking any keys.
It certainly requires the basic rom's routines.
First things first.
How do we turn the p file into machine code?
Then we get an eprom of let's 64kb or bigger, and flash inside at 0000 the original zx81 rom.
Then at some point, at address 27400 let's say, we flash the contents of coral basic.
The way you run coral basic p file is by making space on ramtop.
Code: Select all
POKE 16388,8
POKE 16389,107
NEW
Code: Select all
RAND USR 27400
How do we do automatic spacing / paging, how do we automatically use the "rand usr command", how do we fit zx basic AND coral basic on the same eprom, how do we read 64kb ?
I am here to sparkle some enthusiasm.
