Not enough time tonight either, only time for more thoughts:
5. I should try the Subor's cartridge on an actual Famicom.
6. I need to learn how to adapt my 7-pin NES accessories to the 15-pin port on the Subor. Hopefully it uses the same pinout as the 15-pin expansion port on the Famicom.
7. I know a Famicom Disk System won't work with PAL timings, but I wonder if a Famicom Network System modem adapter would?
More thoughts:
3. I have long harbored a dream of building a conventional 80s-style home computer that uses the NES chipset, but my designs always wind up being essentially just a differently shaped NES. This Subor is not much more than that, but researching it I have learned about other, later Famiclones that are. It has opened my mind to possibilities and inspired me a bit.
4. I wonder if the Subor's printer port is bi-directional.
Not enough time tonight to toy with the Subor, but I have thoughts about it.
1. FloatBASIC has a LOAD command, but apparently no SAVE command. There's also no obvious way to attach I/O peripherals to the Subor for saving and loading. The LOAD command seems to just cause the machine to hang.
2. I wonder if FloatBASIC would attempt to LOAD from cassette if I connected a FamilyBASIC keyboard into one of the controller ports and used its cassette ports.
