Fool-DupleX a écrit : ↑31 août 2022 12:51 Mentioned earlier, but let me emphasize that the TO7 and the TO7-70 are very different machines.

Thank you. I always think 8 colours v 16 colours and more free memory.

Thanks Samuel,

Now it's clear. Wow, that must have been a lot for families to afford in the 80s.

490 or 550 French Francs seems exceptionally good value Daniel. At the time the British pound was worth around 10 French Francs so that's around the equivalent of £49 to £55 British pounds. At the same time the Sinclair Spectrum was £125 British Pounds. Were the machines subsidised by your Governmen...

Thanks everyone. It seems very odd to supply a computer with a version of BASIC that didn't support the new extended features of the machine.

I suppose it's like the Texas Instruments TI-99 with it's optional extended BASIC

I use BASIC 128 when emulating the TO7/70 in the excellent dcmoto.

Did the TO7/70 ship with BASIC 1.0 as default? I'm surprised at this, as it doesn't seem to support the 16 colours from BASIC. Was BASIC 128 an optional extra?

Thanks

Hi, I'm in the UK and am considering purchasing a TO7/70. Any tips of what to check for when purchasing from eBay would be most useful. I obviously want to check a BASIC Cartridge is included. During my investigations I have found that some have dark (TO7 type keys), others light colour full keys. W...

Thanks Daniel,

That's very clear. If I plan my graphics carefully along with use of Pen and Paper I should be able to use the POINT Command.

The ability to have different colours in each 8x1 pixel area is very impressive. Especially for an 8-bit machine.

Greetings, My understanding is that the SCREEN (X,Y) does not work with characters which have been defined with DEFR$. For example the following code returns 65, and 0. Is there any alternative to SCREEN(x,y) for defined characters, or can I tell the pen and paper at any character space. Is the only...

Thank you for all the help. I'm very impressed with the increased colour range of the TO70/70. The vast majority of other 8-bit computers of the time only offered 4 colours at 320 x 200. If you wanted more colours you often have to deal with a lower resolution (like with the Amstrad CPC). My beloved...

Hi Daniel, Thanks for the reply. So I have written a very simple piece of code: 5 cls 10 for a=0 to 15 20 color a,15-a 30 print "*"; 40 next a 50 for x=0 to 127 step 8 55 print 60 print point(x,0);" "; 70 next x So if I understand correctly 0 would relate to black Ink, -1 would r...

Thanks Oliver. That make sense as the Color command sets the border, foreground and ink colours.

Greetings, Please could I ask for some help with the Point command. I have translated the French from the BASIC 128 manual and the translation I get is making sense to me: the number is positive if the point belongs to the shape, negative if it belongs to the bottom: https://i.ibb.co/ww6jh3v/point.p...

Merci Neotenian, il semble être en train de devenir un grand jeu.

Bon après-midi, Toutes mes excuses si cela a été expliqué précédemment, mais puis-je demander si les types de magazines et de livres ont été préservés ? Dans mes premières années de possession d'un ZX Spectrum, j'ai toujours trouvé que c'était un excellent moyen d'apprendre les détails du langage BA...

Merci pour cela. Puis-je demander si cette version contient la traduction en anglais ? Merci Pierre Traduit via Google
