Dabz	CALL &BB03 flushed the keypresses from the keyboard buffer... t'was handy! There was a CALL to reset the machine, but I cannot remember it now! Dabz -=-=- Intel Core i5 6400 2.7GHz, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070 (8GB), 8Gig DDR4 RAM, 256GB SSD, 1TB HDD, Windows 10 64bit

steve_ancell	I remember that reset thing but also can't remember the memory address. I think I've got a copy of the firmware manual on my HDD somewhere, I let my hard copy go with the CPC when I part ex'ed it for an Amiga. I was only a kid then so I didn't realise what I was getting rid of. Probably would have been worth somthing by now. LOL

steve_ancell	There ya go Mike, Call &0000 Got the manual from here: www.cantrell.org.uk/david/tech/cpc/cpc-firmware/firmware.pdf \|edit\| I just remembered, I uploaded it to SoCoder a while back. Link below. \|edit\| socoder.net/uploads/51/firmware.zip

Dabz	Well, I had mine right up until 1994, me, my little Amstrad, and my beloved PD Library I used to run! Then, I discovered Merrydowne cider, didnt touch a line of code for 6 years after that! I miss the days where I'd be tinkering away in the ambient green shine off the monitor, looking over at the clock, thinking "shite, only 4 hours before school!"!!! Saying that, somethings never change, I'd be sitting here and I'll look at the clock on the PC and think "Bloody hell, its 12.30, 6 hours and I'll be up for work!" Nah, seriously, glory days them, wish I kept all my stuff from back then, I wrote all sorts to sell for 1p/kb, as well as buying from others, there was some amazing stuff made just before I left the scene... There's some good stuff now, I love this demo:- View on YouTube Amazing!!! Dabz -=-=- Intel Core i5 6400 2.7GHz, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070 (8GB), 8Gig DDR4 RAM, 256GB SSD, 1TB HDD, Windows 10 64bit

Jayenkai	Mine's under my desk. pats it's keyboard Poor little fella's got a dodgy monitor. Thing keeps flickering, which affects the keyboards power, thus resetting the whole system. I could do with a little connectable power supply to keep the keyboard powered up, alongside a possible vga/tv output.. It's on my list of "One day I'll get around to all that" things to do.. along side figuring out what I'm doing with all these converted Amiga disks that I copied to my hard drive at some point a year and a half ago. sigh Time - AGameAWeek = 0! -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

steve_ancell	Dabz I miss the days where I'd be tinkering away in the ambient green shine off the monitor I didn't get the green shine, I had a colour monitor. I still remember the twang that sounded from the monitor when first switched on and the static shocks from the screen. LOL

steve_ancell	Just looked it up, Call &0030 is actually the user jumpblock reset.

rockford	I had a colour monitor. I still remember the twang that sounded from the monitor when first switched on and the static shocks from the screen. LOL God yes! I'd forgotten about that. I started with the green screen, but it fecked up so we sent it back and paid the extra to get a colour one. Heaven! CPC coding has long since been erased from my brain. A real pity

Dabz	Well, I started with the green screen, but, one birthday (cannot remember which one, lol), I unwrapped me present and there it was, a tv modulator, Roland on the Ropes, on me TV.... Cor!!!!

Jayenkai	I'm currently considering this doohickey. Probably aim for that. Not yet, though.. Bog all time even if I do get it! -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

steve_ancell	Dabz I unwrapped me present and there it was, a tv modulator I kept hinting at my mum and dad for one of those when I was a kid, never got one though. It would have been good to see the CPC on a bigger screen.

rockford	I'm currently considering this doohickey. Probably aim for that. Cool My CPC monitor went bang once and I tried to get a tv modulator everywhere, with no joy - they were like gold dust. Managed to get the monitor fixed in the end, but always wished I had a modulator just in case it blew again.
