exxos's Atari, Amiga & retro forum

I wonder what the Unicode16 code for phi is and whether it contains a reserved character.

Edit: It's 0x03 0xc6 so the 0x03 (ETX, End of Text) could possibly cause an issue.

You would 'hope' that your system is robust enough to not care about it though, anything that can cause an SQL error like that is a potential security flaw, hence why I haven't mentioned the forum name, though I have informed their Admin.

Well that's annoying.

I have Tiger-Heli and Countermeasure 2 Atari 7800 carts on preorder, supposed to be here on Saturday 15th, only now been delayed until the 23rd.

Cutting it fine as I go on holiday on the 24th...

If they get delayed again I may have to cancel.

And they were delayed again...

Orders cancelled.

Another project just arrived though:


A ZX80 to build at some point :)

@rubber_jonnie I've got another one for you as well.

I bought an Acorn Atom just now, so have the PCB I was going to build, which I can happily donate to the RJ project pile if you'd like it?

That would be very kind of you sir!!! Let me know if I owe you anything.

Of course it's will be in the queue behind the Cosmac Elf II and ZX80, but 100% for sure :)

If we can pick this up when I get back from holiday please, otherwise it'll sit on my doorstep for 2 weeks, either that or be flung over the back gate...

Where did the Atom come from? eBay?

@rubber_jonnie I'll bring it to CL4, save on postage. You might have to remind me though :lol:

Sounds like a great idea, thank you sir :)

I'm currently here and it's great :)
