Clock Timer (CLK)

[Alessandro]

I discovered this emulator by reading a discussion about border tests:

https://www.spectrumcomputing.co.uk/for ... 003#p74003

Does anyone know which Spectrum file formats can it open? I found no mention of them on its website on Github. I do not have a Mac and cannot discover it myself. Thanks in advance.

Looking at the sources:-
https://github.com/TomHarte/CLK/tree/ma ... pe/Formats
https://github.com/TomHarte/CLK/tree/ma ... rage/State
https://github.com/TomHarte/CLK/tree/ma ... ge/Formats

The +3 DSK format is covered by MFMSectorDump, but you need to specify the machine type and model or else the emulator will try to load the image as an Amstrad CPC disk. For example:-

Code: Select all

$ clksignal --new=ZXSpectrum --model=Plus3 diskimage.dsk

I’ve heard or come across Tom Harte and his clock signal emulator somewhere before. But I can’t remember where. I’m sure that he has posted on a forum about it in the past.

Ahh, he’s posted on StarDot. Here’s a search of posts by him where “clock signal” is mentioned.

He has only one post on WoS, his profile on WoS is here.

Ahh, here he’s using a different name, hence when I looked through the list of members, I did not spot him…

Yes, I meant Clock Signal, sorry for the mistake.

Thanks for the links, it seems the emulator can read DSK, SNA, SZX, TAP and Z80 files then.
