24 Apr 2014    The updated VER.ZZP utility displays also the version of the BASIC ROM. Current versions are: - BASIC ROM     22    - Shadow ROM 137 which are functionally identical to the previous ones. 20 Apr 2014    The latest versions of the BASIC ROM, Shadow ROM (136) and MCU Firmware (5.35) add support for attaching a standard PC Keyboard to the interface's PS/2 socket, in place of a mouse.    Only software that uses the standard ROM keyboard subroutines, which most games don't do, can access the external keyboard and only while the interface is in 'Active Mode'.    The keyboard's arrow keys together with 'Ctrl', as 'Fire', can emulate a Kempston joystick, even while the interface is in 'Inactive Mode'    The MCU firmware implements a 'tokenizer', allowing keywords to be entered by typing their first 2-4 characters while holding the 'Alt' key.    For more information please consult the specification sheet. |
