It sure does look sharp... Yes, This is the original F18A that Hans had for sale awhile back for US$100. The MK1 should work too.

Considering the F18A MK1 is functionally identical to the original F18A there should be zero issues

Any idea who create this custom MAME? Is there source available of the changes made?

Thanks.

I have an 'old version' in my Nabu and it is working fine

I can't get this to load on my NABU - the loading tones start but then it reverts back to the boot screen. I'm using ROM version 14, could that possibly be the issue? Other channels (e.g. Cycle v1) work fine.

I sent back to the original BIOS and 80 column CP/M does indeed load now. Any ideas how I might get it to work with version 14? I need that for the floppy support.

I've found the patched version 14 ROM (viewtopic.php?t=19) now, so all sorted.

So when I chose to load CPM F18a, it seems to load but then the screen stays blue. Nothing happens. Is there something I'm missing?

Is it that I have to have a newer ROM to run this?

I have no idea what an F18a is. Trying to figure that out, now...

Ok. It looks like it's an emulator. Correct?
