Re: Salora Manager / Laser 2001 BASIC

Yes Apple ][ is 1.023Mhz

However - AppleSoft II BASIC == MS-BASIC == Salora Manager / Laser 2001 BASIC.

The main difference is I/O overhead.

Re: Salora Manager / Laser 2001 BASIC

VPOKE is broken in the dumps we have. Indeed there's some confusion in the tape and type in BASIC listings too. This the VPOKE and common SETVDPADDR functions. ************************************************************** * VPOKE * ************************************************************** f220...

Re: Salora Manager Disk ROM

I have no way to dump old 5.25" disks - so hopefully Tom will have a cunning plan. The disks are just modified AppleDOS - so perhaps someone with a working Apple ][ setup may be able to dump them with a little modified software. Failing that - would you be willing to perhaps send the floppies and ha...

Re: Salora Manager Disk ROM

Provided the audio out is working, it's quite easy to copy the data in tracks, then write each track to audio. No ASM needed - just good old BASIC. The big problem is the PSU. I would expect that once you know what voltages etc are inputs, it could be done. Does someone have a working FDD PSU that t...

Re: Salora Manager Disk ROM

Today I was looking through the latest Mame release files and stumbled upon the attached for the Laser 2001. I think it is an attempt to copy a floppy disk - but sadly has missing sectors. Perhaps used Apple sector count instead of Laser DOS? The file identifies as 'Kaarne' which google translates t...

Re: Salora Manager / Laser 2001 BASIC

The Salora Manager and Laser 2001 roms only differ in version number, keyboard mapping table for funky characters and tape timings. Otherwise they are identical, and you can apply the tokens.s patch at offset $19F over the existing token name table. If you were going to change a real machine, I woul...

Re: Salora Manager / Laser 2001 BASIC

Attached is the Salora Manager ROM and token name listing amendment.

This is to enable using the functions which are in the BASIC rom within an emulator.

I have removed the redundant MUSIC and FLASH token names, as they do nothing, and added POP, DEF, FN and USR.

Re: Laser 2001 & Salora Manager - official thread

The Salora advert is strange, in that it just advertises creatiVision software.

Now we need to find a Laser 2001 advert!
