  1. I found that when I used a good SD card as in a high storage fast card that it doesn't seem to work so make sure you use a smaller cheaper card. That might be the only problem it is
  2. Oh boy... for a second there I thought I heard my TI say, "you're a GONNER!" AI jibberish
  3. It's the lonely silent speaker CB radio days
  4. Good, I've got buches of 1 and 4 mb.. even some 32K and 256s. Up to 8mb. Just sitting in a coffee can lol
  5. Yes,words take years off my life I found. You're still a forth guru even in willsy code.
  6. Add her to the equation and she'll come out on top...non swiftee here
  7. He's on Facebook If you have Facebook.. Sent you a pm
  8. Don't look back. Congratulations on your new projects
  9. The original software that came with the card explains in detail how to turn on and off the card how to switch banks and has an example of code.. information comes from an article in Micropendium written by Bruce Harrison. it's in the post here. https://forums.atariage.com/topic/229205-sams-usage-in-assembly/#comment-3062295
  10. You can also break your back like I almost did when I slipped and fell on my back deck by carrying one.
  11. Exciting times for this process https://scitechdaily.com/revolutionary-lego-like-photonic-chip-paves-way-for-semiconductor-breakthroughs/
  12. Or create a buffer and hold 32 blank characters in it and paste that on the screen one line at a time and that way it doesn't look like the screen is scrolling from left to right.
  13. Strange squeaky sounds can make you rich
  14. During my code reviews one of the things I have to always make sure of if am I doing a byte operation or a word op. Am I looking for a result as a byte or a word.. because if I don't come back and review that I usually get bit, not bited.
  15. Can we add that to the FAQ....
  16. And if the program seems to be fast and you need to slow it down just put a slower person there to enter the data to. It's my humor on the loose today.sorry
  17. Gotcha. That makes total sense and like Lee said, and what I suspected was that some data is or can be pushed straight to, vmbw, for example and is quick, and other words rely doing math or calcs, and take much more time to accomplish as an example BUT with the advantage of using English words as defining the code function. Which I knew that part. I just didn't understand that the forth kernel contained some of the basic functions which makes sense now but I didn't know it was there I thought it was compiled later.
  18. So if they're part of the language of forth already then why is forth slower than assembly? Or is it that only the utils in forth are faster or as fast as assy? And that the rest of forth, words, are only slower.?
  19. I found I get that "66" error if I try formatting a double-sided double density disc when it's actually a single-sided single density disc , it physically can't be done, I mean maybe you can flip it upside down I'm not sure I haven't tried that.. I just know that's a bad error a hardbreak error.
  20. Lee what you told me awhile back when I was having problems with working out of the super cart was I didn't have the utilities and so I just copied I think it's 4K or 8K,(I think 4K), out of the hex 2000 address with the EA cart installed and then I just put that back in the 2000 address again when I'm ready to use it The battery back up in the supercart as a storage keeps it from dissolving for me.. And that worked wonderful for me. BUT... Could it be put on a file and loaded in forth when needed?
