ZX01 with tape implementation

Post by Harbaum »

I have written a cassette tape implementation for the ZX01 (ZX81 in VHDL) so one can upload programs:

The timing of the ZX01 (either the T80 cpu core or the ZX97) isn't perfect, so many screens refuse to display it correctly.

the zx01 source code incl. the tape is here:

It has 16k RAM and even runs Bodos 25thanni although the first two screens have a line-to-line offset of one pixel. And even the standard screen isn't perfect as line 0 and line 32 are 8 pixels wider than the other lines.

But it's working!
