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)

This is a „Tapuino Micro“ running as tape drive on my #cbm3016
I now can put .tap files on a micro-SDcard an load them into this 8 bit computer from 1979!

Sorry for all the TestToots. I just finished thput the finishing touches on my fork of MOStodon "VintageToot". These test toosts are send from a CBM Pet from 18980. #vintagecomputing #retrocomputing #cbmpet
Happy 40th to my #Commodore #Amiga #A1000 I'm very thankful for all of the things I've learned and friends I've met over my Commodore and other computer related experiences since that first #CBMPET in elementary school. What a personal & professional journey it helped me begin.

A few updates to the hardware project thingy.

Renamed as "Optical Data Channel..." because although vaguely amusing, "JellyLoad" isn't a terribly helpful title.

Also applied MIT open source license, free and easy do-what-you-like-pal whilst absolving me of any liability if you attempt to use the data and end up destroying the universe or something similarly daft.

Simulation and prototypes successful, however I currently lack the resources for experimentation beyond this stage, so I'm casting the design out into the open for any and all enthusiasts to pick up and play with.

Feel free to let me know how you get on with it.

Attention #commodore #retrocomputing folks!

I found a CBM-II keyboard and a CBM610 (w/o PCB) in my attic (yes, I should go up and dig more often, I suppose 😉 ).

I wonder whether there's a turnkey solution out there to connect it to a PC (using USB). I am aware of Jens Schoenfeld's (iComp) "Keyrah v3". But have the strong feeling I am missing some essential point.
