Tested various micros running this FLOATING POINT program. It derives Pi to 20 decimal places. Interesting stats.

1 N=20: L=INT(10*N/3): DIM A(255): Z$="000000":T$="999999"
2 FOR I=1 TO L: A(I)=2: NEXT I: M=0: P=0: FOR J=1 TO N: Q=0: K=2*L+1
3 FOR I=L TO 1 STEP -1: K=K-2: X=10*A(I)+Q*I: Q=INT(X/K): A(I)=X-Q*K: NEXT I
4 Y =INT(Q/10): A(1)=Q-10*Y: Q=Y: IF Q=9 THEN LET M=M+1: GOTO 7
5 IF Q=10 THEN PRINT STR$(P+1);LEFT$(Z$,M);: P=0: M=0: GOTO 7
6 PRINT STR$(P);LEFT$(T$,M);: P=Q: M=0
7 NEXT J:PRINT STR$(P)

@gmc I didn't see the #amstradpcw ever, but now I learned, that its name was Amstrad PCW and the same from german Schneider was called Joyce.
And yes, you are right, the DMP3000 wasn't part of the PCW/Joyce system.

Enrique G. Gálvez ha publicado hace varias horas su versión para los modelos PCW y PCW Plus de Amstrad de la recreativa de Taito "The New Zealand Story", a partir de la conversión oficial por Ocean Software para el ZX Spectrum.

Target: Renegade (Enrique Gálvez 2025) :: Computer Emuzone

En los últimos tiempos, Enrique Gálvez está portando al PCW un montón de juegos que no fueron lanzados para ese ordenador de Amstrad pensado para trabajar. Porque sí, el Amstrad PCW carecía de sonido (más alla del beeper) y gráficos a color (o eso creíamos hasta que nos encontramos con estos juegos). Pocas fueron las compañías de vide

Amstrad PCW 8256 / 8512 (CPC 6128 & Spectrum +3) 3" Disk Drive Repair Tutorial

It lives!
#amstrad #pcw 9256 resurrected!
Having got it working then shorted the psu on the floppy housing (🤬), converted to USB-C PD.

Lots of capacitors replaced and the image is almost stable (a few ~100v caps still need doing as I don't have anything above 50v in stock).

Pleased :)

Now just need to make a #cp/m boot disk!

(Back connector on #thingiverse if anyone ever needs)

#retrocomputing #amstradpcw #pcw9256 #USBPD

Anyone know of an #Amstrad #pcw 9256 cp/m disk image anywhere? 3.5" disk, not 3"

Am I right in thinking the 9512+ disks wont boot the 9256 as different rom checksum?

#retrocomputing #amstradpcw

How to relive the gaming sensations of the time? thanks to #MiSTerFGPA . I'm testing the #amstradpcw core and the fake color mode. Great !

I should do, or even redo sometime in the future, an #introduction finally.

I'm from Poland and have grown up with an #AmstradCPC, which made me two things for life: a #Software engineer, and an 8-bit retro enthusiast.

Today in my home you'll find: all the #Amstrad CPCs, an #AmstradPCW, a #MegaPC, #Atari 65XE,130XE,800XL, a #C64 and a #C128, #Amiga 600 and 1200, a couple of #MSX and #ZXSpectrum, some obscure ones like #OlivettiM20, old AT PCs, old laptops, printers, a #PowerMac and… a PS5.
