@TheByteAttic Thank you for a great series. Will there be an episode, where we do some more programming. Planning the program, and implement it on this great machine?
@ajroach42@stibbons Well the problem is also, that it supports VT100, but not all the ANSI codes, that BBSes use. And all the BBSes use the DOS codepage, which is not in the #Minitel. You can make custom chars on the #Minitel 2, but that only works in 40 column mode. Most BBSes insist on 80 column. 🙃​
@rcrpodcast Yet another great episode. Your Computer is a local brand of the Chinese Lambda 8300/PC8300. Different countries had different names for this machine. It was a clone of the Sinclair ZX81. They changed the ROM, but not enough, so they got sued. And they changed the ROM even more in the next version. It had 2k RAM like the TS1000, but also featured a joystickport and speaker. Charset was different as well. The ROM could LOAD ZX81 Basic programs, but would save in it's own format. #ZX81
