27-June-2016    The selling price of the 'Interface 1bis' has been increased to the level it was before the reduction of 15 month ago, but remains still significantly lower than that of any similar ( though not necessarily comparable, in terms of features and performance ) devices on the market. 22-Jun-2016    A few users have been requesting support for handling Sinclair Interface 1 (.MDR) Microdrive images. Implementing a new file system for this logical device would be absurd, especially because the 'Interface 1bis', being fully compatible with the original Sinclair Interface 1, in respect of BASIC commands, 'hook codes' and system variables, can run any 'well-behaved' application, that doesn't attempt to execute directly 'shadow ROM' code.    A more appropriate solution has been therefor implemented by adding the function 'SYMBOL-SHIFT' D (STEP) to the GBL 'Game browser. It extracts he contents of a Microdrive image file, with its extension changed to .ZZF, so that it is accessible to the operating system, to a subdirectory, with the same name as the image file, of the /MDR directory, on the SD card's drive 1. |
