As Moggy says, a PM/DM will sit in your outbox until the recipient reads it. Only then will it move to your sent box.

Re: Forcing an NMI or locking the keyboard via poke command
You can't force a NMI. A NMI is a non-maskable interrupt which is a hardware signal. Machine code can jump to the address where the NMI routine is, but it's not quite the same. Machine code can HALT the processor, just execute the HALT instruction. But this will not do what you want on a ZX81. I pre...

Re: opus discovery questions
can a " twisted " cable solve this ? Not with a twisted cable designed for PCs, as it will also twist the motor on line, but the Opus only has a single (common to all drives) motor on signal, as it uses a Shugart interface. Shugart interface Floppy Drive Interface Pin Function 2 /DCD Disk Change De...

Re: ZX Spectrum +2a issue with all expansion cards
With your Kempston joystick interface fitted, test the signals I mentioned in my earlier post to see if any are flatlining or otherwise wrong. So, test these pins on the Z80: Pin Signal 6 Clock 7 D4 8 D3 9 D5 10 D6 12 D2 13 D7 14 D0 15 D1 17 /NMI (should be always high) 18 /HALT (should normally be ...

Re: ZX Spectrum +2a issue with all expansion cards
Not sure it's the ULA. Depending on which version (there were a surprising number not including the various clones), a basic Kempston joystick interface only typically uses the eight data bus lines (D0 to D7), address line A5 (and sometimes A6 and A7), /RD, /IORQ and sometimes /M1. And obviously, +5...

Re: Hiya from voorsk
Hello and welcome to our forum Graham! :D :D :D I hope you enjoy this forum :D You are welcome to ask questions! I've not heard of the ULAdigitizer before. It looks like it either copies the video data from the ULA data bus when the ULA reads the video data from the 'lower' RAM, or when the Z80 wri...
