Great, thanks! Nice to see the possible date format codes are in the comment, and there are ones for time zone and year so UTC time stamps are possible.

I was thinking of putting in a date stamp for people getting high scores in a game, but noticed that there's no way of finding it out. CP/M 3 has date and time, but we're using 2.2 which doesn't. Also nothing in NABU-LIB. Was there something in the original NABU OS that did it? Or should it be done ...

Actually, even cheaper, just ask around and see if anyone has already dumped that EPROM chip. It has a NABU part number too, which would be worthwhile searching for. Then you can find out the details about the microcontroller chip, a Motorola SC87253P, which I assume gets its instructions from that ...

One of the pricier programmers. Just need one which can do the NABU EPROM chips. Good discussion about programmers for vintage chips at https://forum.vcfed.org/index.php?threa ... s.1238152/

By the way, in the photos I see a N8X60N large chip (https://www.datasheets.com/part-details/n8x60n-signetics-73115772#datasheet) which is a FIFO address generator (a counter for read address, a counter for write address, a counter for size used) and two 2114 RAM chips (4 bits of data with a 10 bit ...

What, no mention of the SC87253P microcontroller? And a lot of AI generated details about generic TTL logic chips and generic task steps? Surely figuring out the firmware that runs the microcontroller would be an important step!

Someone mentioned a new Discord server in the Scammers post, viewtopic.php?p=1243 Don’t know if it it legitimate.

My next step (finished reading BrickBattle source and played around with it) is to read NABU-LIB and Z88DK’s source code and see what the differences in functionality are.

I finally got my NABU development environment working. After a few days of trying various things and reading documentation and forums, I finally got Z88DK to work in Fedora 39 Linux with MAME emulating the NABU. The long story is on my blog , but here are the relevant details... I tried compiling Br...

I have to agree. Making a very high speed communications box for all computers would have been more useful to the public than yet another computer system. Imagine a BBS where you can download files at 6 megabits rather than 2400 bits per second.
