Same here. Couldn't agree more. Open source = open sores, most of the time. With few notable exceptions.

Missed the moment when this thread changed from 'situational awareness' thread into 'open sores campaign' thread.

So, basically sue threat for a 5Euro more in comission, based on the premise that a cooperator won't be able to ask for a raise or quit? If there is an agreement stating that, it is abusive and favorizes only one side of the deal. Or lawsuit is concering 'possible profit loss' over the chips bought in 1000pcs quantity? Dunno what to think about it, it is so sad, but asking for a raise is not an uncommon and bad practice, and most mature people negotiate conflicts, don't sue right away.

I was offline for a few years (wife and kids happened , so sorry for late reply 1050E was thoroughly tested on the drive I developed it on, and never showed any flaws you experienced, the only suspicion was that the write protect diode was malfunctioning. Also, I had tested it with both 800 XL and 65 XE with either Q-MEG or Sparta X. (capacitors were not removed) As for the turbo loader, it was never considered since 99% of my use case was either Sparta Dos X or Q-MEG that support ultraspeed out of the box. And for the record - I no longer do any work on this firmware. Time will tell how it'll end.

No, because he isn't circumventing any of the 'protection'. Introducing protection means you want to protect something. What do you protect? The knowledge of the PORTB register? The case against Voy is invalid. Deal with it. The only valid argument you really have is distribution of the 'cracked' version, and I agree here.

Yea, using linear power supply (aka brick, with big-ass transformer) is kinda weird in 2013 Unless you have specific application, they are long obsolete. Get SMPS (Switching Mode Power Supply), it's lighter, safer, more reliable and mostly - it's more power-efficient for your power bill

It's very close. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2uhAxFE1hUc

Awww, you spoiled all the fun )))

Here's the language joke only Candle understands "Two arts for me" :DDDD

Am I blind or the attachment is missing in the first post?

Hahaha, made my day!!!! Generated an out loud chuckle out of me in the middle of a night here.

Update: debug session with oscilloscope planned but no time on my hand right now. Actually what's missing now is ultraspeed 68k and track buffer. anything else is working and just needs putting it all together. I promise myself (and Candle even more to be honest, I'd had it delayed already) to finish it this summer. Sadly, too many things with life got out of hand. The patient ones will be rewarded though Cheers

well, missing the GAL part and equations?
