WIP - picked back up the idea of PETZerk (Bezerk demake) for the Commodore PET but in XC-BASIC instead of C this time around.

Originally I was going to fill the screen but by fitting it into a 20x20 character grid I can also more easily port to Vic 20 with user defined characters 🤓

Audio-in mod on Amstrad CPC 464 based on Noel’s Retro Lab approach seems to work well. Next up add tape drive control signals … 🎶 🕹️

Hello World! (It works!)

This one is from Age Concern charity shop. Had bad power, but turned out to be leaked battery damage and a sketchy power brick - bargain! 🤩

Commodore PET Added to my online retro IDE 🥳

CBM BASIC, XC-BASIC3, C, and ASM ✅

One mistake but I think I got away with it #rc2014 🤭
Finally got the Tandy Coco 2 working - a computer I know very little about. Video signal is awful but it works!
Added Kickassembler for Vic 20 to my online #retrocomputer IDE 🥳
Apple //e and Applesoft BASIC now added to my online IDE :)

My online IDE now Kicks Ass (added Kick Assembler as a language option for #c64 )
