Another Egyptian Enterprise 64

What sort of ROM are you using, Winbond WD27C512-15?

Its an SGS 27C512-200 - too slow perhaps? I have an STI 27C512-100 I'll try.

As for @exxos writing ROMS for the enterprise, he has one to many X's in his moniker

I noticed the same a couple days ago. I get everywhere

EDIT - it just crashed...

Could have been my bad though so have restarted it.

To be fair though - I dont know about there - but its been extremely hot here.

Maybe the Ent64 is used to the early 80s when you had to run systems in air conditioned rooms.

Its a far cry from that ATM!

@exxos Surely you have the time to branch out and do this, what with AI doing all your other chores?

Getting AI to do what it is told is a full-time job by itself !

Although the custom chips do get a bit toasty, it's only in the 50C range and one of them has a copper plate as a heatsink. Even before I added a few extra heatsinks the machine was stable in 35C temperatures.

So I am actually in an air conditioned room ATM

No excuses for overheating

New STI 27C512 is in and running my basic program to test.

One thing I found out that I didn't know is that you start off in program 0, but if you type 'edit N' where the N is a number, say 1, then it puts you in a different program space and you have to type 'edit 0' to get back to program 0, but the other programs are maintained in the other program spaces.

Yep, you can have multiple programs, one in each RAM bank, and call them from the other programs using the "chain" command.

From memory, program 0 can be up to 48K in size and the rest up to 32K.

It's a pretty cool feature, shame it wasn't a success, it really seems to be quite forward thinking.
