Info for mtx512

Memotech MTX512

Usage:
The default emulation implements a MTX512 with 64K bytes RAM. However,
the system supports memory sizes from 32K upto 512K, with 32K increments.
To load and run a tape image, just type LOAD "<image name>" at the Ready
Prompt. To save a (BASIC) program, just type SAVE "<image name>" at the
Ready Prompt.
The cassette image is a flat binary with the first 18 bytes being the
original MTX tape header and the rest being the file data. The driver
requires cassette images to be stored in the directory "...\software\mtx512".
The filename of the cassette image should be the same as the name stored
in the header, without the trailing spaces. This name can be found at
offset 1 to 15 (starting at 0).
MTX BASIC is pretty much a standard dialect, so you should have no problems
using it, but its graphics and sound handling might be a bit esoteric.

Known Issues:

• Limited Z80 CTC support (input channel connections are not emulated).
• No cassette device support; currently loading and saving is implemented by rewriting the ROM image (and there is no verify support).
• No support for joysticks.
• No support for additional ROMs.
• No support for the communications board (e.g., RS-232 connections).
• No support for the FDX/HDX system.
• No support for the Node/Ring system.
