Re: Hello from Brazil

I'll probably end up being embarassed if I post any more details on the hardware hehehe. I designed it with 3 x 8255 for digital I/O and a pair of ADC0809 for analog inputs.

Re: BR programs recovery

I have identified the remaining ringo programs and they are from engesoft zorbax tape.

Re: BR programs recovery

This is great! Yes, I probably loaded them and saved with my 16k expansion on, so there may be some extra stuff. I wish I had copies of Tutor and Calendario... I also have some recordings made with Ringo, higher speed. I tried them in eightyone which emulates it but I had success in only 2 dumb test...

Back then 16K looked like a lot of memory! It was a TK82C from Microdigital. Some time later I got a 48K T...
