The Amstrad Notepad Computer NC100 from 1992, sporting a Z80, 64K of ram, parallel printer port & RS232 serial port.

Runs off 4 AA batteries & one CR2032 for backup.

This one needs some work as it keeps saying the lithium battery is low when a new one is inserted & the stop key sticks, but otherwise works well.

I have released a new version with a fix (1.0.2).

Is not a big bug, but it was there and now is not!

You can get it from: https://www.usebox.net/jjm/heart-of-salamanderland/

The good thing about 8-bit games is how portable they are (essentially wherever you have an emulator).

Some 40 years ago, my dad took a leap and decided to import and resell the #Enterprise64 microcomputer from the United Kingdom. This was indeed the era of the "micro", and lots of options were available like the #Spectrum, #Amstrad, #NewBrain, #Lynx and numerous others. Unfortunately competition was hard, and the Enterprise was delayed for almost a year. Eventually they went bankrupt and all stock was exported to Eastern Europe where it got a second life among some very hard core enthusiasts. Very few were actually sold in Denmark - I would assume less then a hundred - and today I managed to get my hands on the third one in my collection. Inherited from his dad, the seller had no idea what to use this for. It's very much a special item, and very far from the mainstream like the Commodore 64. It is nevertheless a fascinating machine, sporting a #Zilog #Z80 with support for up to 2MB RAM. The operating system also contained IS-BASIC, and was a bliss to work with.

Seller's image of the Enterprise 64: Visible is original box holding the system. I haven't had the original box for probably 30 years.

My next retro project...

The 40 year old Amstrad CPC 464, with its distinctive green and blue keys and extraordinary length due to its built in tape drive.

I purchased this recently, which was advertised as for parts or spares and untested, so looking forward to seeing what works and how it will look when cleaned up.

Video coming in the future...

CPCEC - Amstrad CPC Emulator Release 20240422 (cngsoft.no-ip.org)

CPCEC is an emulator of the family of home microcomputers Amstrad CPC (models 464, 664, 6128 and Plus) whose goal is to be loyal to the original hardware and efficient in standard modern systems. Thus it brings a faithful emulation of the Z80 microprocessor and it replicates the behavior of the CRTC 6845 and Gate Array video...

Stayed up too late watching BillBull finish Get Dexter! on the CPC. Reminded again what a great game it is, and full of French humour :)
