+arcadeshopper Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 (edited) Here is the latest build that I have, if anyone wants to take it for a spin on real hardware. Mark TurboForthv1.2.1-beta.zip This works great on my F18a nanopeb (com1) 4/a sorry took so long to test..busy weeks. BUT on the REAL TI with pbox/speech/sams/pers card/corcomp floppy it goes into a speach crash "garble barble program garble balajdskjfdljkaflssf sf" blank screen..

Willsy Posted February 3, 2014 Author Share Posted February 3, 2014 Yeah, that's what Bob is reporting too. I thought I had found the cause but alas no... Still working on it...! I'll have to dig my TI setup out of storage... It hasn't been powered up for around 3 years! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TI-Sissy Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 fbforth or turbo forth what is the difference? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willsy Posted February 16, 2014 Author Share Posted February 16, 2014 TurboForth: based on the Forth 83 standard. Cartridge based, so nearly the whole 32k free for your programs. FbForth: based on the FIG (forth interest group) specification. Loads from disk (currently) as and editor assembler file. Lee Stewart will shortly be embarking on an effort to shoe-horn fbForth into a cartridge. A major undertaking. TF is currently a little faster than fbForth as more of it is implemented internally in assembler but they'll even out as FbForth finds its new home in a cartridge. FbForth also supports bitmap whereas TF currently does not. Have a browse at http://turboforth.net 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Lee Stewart Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 fbforth or turbo forth what is the difference? ... FbForth also supports bitmap whereas TF currently does not. The fbForth manual is here and in the development thread. Chapter 6 details all graphics available, including bitmap graphics. ...lee 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UKRetrogamer Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 I wish I'd found this thread before pulling my hair out and blaming my lack of Ti and ROM-burning knowledge. I've burned 1.2 to a 27C128 and using it with a nanoPEB on real hardware, get the hang at the copyright message. Does the Beta download fix this or is there no current solution to the nanoPEB incompatibility issue? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Lee Stewart Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 Mark Wills (@Willsy) has fixed the problem with the nanoPEB/CF7+ in TurboForth 1.2.1. The beta back a few messages is not up to date. I'm sure Mark will chime in shortly. ...lee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UKRetrogamer Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 Thanks. I tried the 1.2.1 beta after posting my previous message but couldn't get this to load at all. It seems like the previous version worked better. At least with that, if I held down the spacebar on loading, I got an error telling me it couldn't locate BLOCKS on DSK1 but then I could type in commands and get results. It's great the issue is resolved. I'll wait for Mark to bring us up to speed on the latest version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willsy Posted October 27, 2014 Author Share Posted October 27, 2014 Yes I think 1.2.1 is ready for release. I'll try and get it uploaded over the next day or so. Away from home at the moment with sporadic internet access! Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atrax27407 Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 Is it the copy that I have? Would the Chicago TI Faire be appropriate this Saturday? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willsy Posted October 27, 2014 Author Share Posted October 27, 2014 Hiya no I have another build with a couple of refinements! I'll get it to you this evening via email and try and put it on the website also. :-) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atrax27407 Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 Chicago might be out of the question but I'll try to have something ready if permission is granted by the author. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willsy Posted October 27, 2014 Author Share Posted October 27, 2014 Bob, That's the V1.2.1 released - it's uploaded to Turboforth.net on the downloads page. I tried to email it to you but the email is sooooo slow on this hotel connection - it's just not working at all. Note I've also uploaded the release note to the website, and a version of the cart for classic99. Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Vorticon Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 This is a bit off topic but I couldn't help to share this find. I'm seriously thinking of getting one, but the one thing holding me back is the fact that it has only 1K of RAM, which is pretty useless from a practical standpoint. I really want to program that thing! eBay Auction -- Item Number: 151435120981 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UKRetrogamer Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 I still have one of his ZX80 kits to build. Good quality board and (certainly for the ZX80 kit) the keyboard overlay is excellent quality. If you're looking for a modern DIY FORTH project to build, look into the FIGnition kit. $30-ish credit-card-sized FORTH micro built around an Atmel AVR. https://sites.google.com/site/libby8dev/fignition Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
