Re: Another BASIC noob question (DIM)
Depending on what you are doing, you don't necessarily need a string array. Why not just use a simple numeric array? Each number is the position of a horse name in the DATA list. Then you're only using a simple string variable, which can be any length and won't be cut short like a string array elem...

Re: Another BASIC noob question (DIM)
If you want to use arrays (and there are very good reasons why you might want to do this), you might want to consider embedding the length of the string into each array item as a 'hidden' CODE byte. You then use slicing, something that ZX BASIC makes very easy. It's perhaps easier to show this rath...

...which is something I did, in Corona Capers . @beanz, you want to know how it's done - examine the listing. I'll even tell you it's at line 7590 in the main program ("COVID-22" on the tape). Examine the array C$ to see its variable-length contents padded with spaces, all of which start ...

Another BASIC noob question (DIM)
Please see program below (I have something similar to this in my main program) in this example the results I want should be printed out as follows london 6 bath 4 manchester 10 southport 9 (with the numbers reflecting the length of the city name) however the program below reports the city lengths al...

Re: Toastrack memory paging problem
Well this is a real pain in the ass...the new PCF chip didn't fix it, the suggested diode D32 (1N4148), IC28 (74LS04), or IC31 (74LS174) didn't fix the problem...I couldn't find resistor R138 (470Ω)...anyone point me to where it is on the board (I think the numbers are all below the resistors themse...

Choosing random data
I want to have the program report the data array randomly rather than in order. So if I have say 5 city names int he data statement rather than reporting them in order it would be reported..out of order. So here is what I have 10 for a=1 to 5 step 1 20 read b$ 30 Print b$ 40 Next A 50 data "lon...

Re: Toastrack memory paging problem
Diode didn't fix the problem.
Waiting on the The PCF chip I guess.

Re: Technical assistance back in the day
I killed a ZX Printer that I'd bought from Mr Micro (in Swinton Manchester) by unplugging it when it was still powered on. I took it into Mr Micro and they said they'd have to send it to Sinclair for repair and it would take about 6 weeks...after 8 weeks It was still a no show so I went in there wit...

Re: Toastrack memory paging problem
So the PAL/unrainer didn't fix the problem, I installed it last night and it's still doing the same thing. The PCF chip is still on the way (I saw on a Noel's retro lab video this was causing a similar problem to mine on one of his 128 toastracks). I'll gather the other parts mentioned too.

Re: Toastrack memory paging problem
Just got around to ordering a new multiplexor chip off ebay, (https://www.ebay.com/itm/164532401824) I also got the unrainer mod from bytedelight which I'll install at the same time so I'll let you guys know if it works.

Toastrack memory paging problem
I have a toastrack that seemed to work fine and loads 48k games no problem but doesn't run 128k games. Using the diagnostic rom on the retroleum smartcard V2 I've run the 48k memory test which passed ok and then the 128k memory tests...which I "think" passes ok but then fails on memory ban...

Re: Possible toastrack issue
bump, yes please post links when you can, thanks.
I have a Retrolium smart card version 2 but I thought that only supported 48k games so I assume the test rom wouldn't work/test the 128k..is that the case?

Possible toastrack issue
I just got the ZXHD from bytedelight for my 128k Toastrack and it works great. However during testing of my toasty I attempted to load several (about 10 or so) 128k game images using my EnJoy, all failed (reboots/corrupted screen or just froze). 48k images however work fine. I'm assuming some sort o...
