Re: MZ-1200 Character ROM ?

A further secret is revealed and new secrets arise ;) Thanks Martin for doing this job. The IPL-ROM of our 80k has no relationship with 80k2e or 1200. We can only assume, but not say with certainty, that 80k2e and 1200 are technically identical. The ROMs are. Someday someone will have circuit diagra...

Re: 80 columns on MZ700

I assume that the SUC got the copyright for the KUMA IF. It seems to me that it is for the 80a only. A KUMA 80 column monitor ROM is needed. Sounds like 80a. Search the SUC-magazine index for KUMA and read the articles: https://sharpmz.no/original/suc_index/sucindex.php?search=kuma&art_top=art&a...

Re: 80 columns on MZ700

Maybe, the following words are helpful: The K&P 80 column IF uses the MZs floppy connector. If you want to connect to a floppy you have to connect it to a floppy interface which is connected to the 80 column card. The MZ signals are passed through the floppy. You do not need a floppy IF if using...

Re: 80 columns on MZ700

See the K&P 80-column Disk BASIC on the 700 dl page:

Re: 80 columns on MZ700

SUC 80 char card: There were articles in the SUC magazines for the 80k. Some poor information could Michael Franzen get by reverse engineering / research by software like (SUC) CP/M versions. I can publish his info here if you are interested. Maybe you can get detailed information for the 700 interf...

Re: 80 columns on MZ700

K&P 80 char card: As I remember "normal" floppy drives were also supported. For K&P floppy drives the SFD700 is needed. Signals are passed through. The FDC800 can be used too, but maybe, you need an expanded monitor. I think I will sell my K&P Char Card via ebay at some point w...

I'll try to get the original content of both ROMs. Please be patient.
In the meanwhile this cahr ROM should work:
