February 17, 2010 – For Those with a 4P

February 17, 2010 – For Those with a 4P

As far as we know, the Model 4P had only 2 BOOT ROM’s, v1(15) and v1(16), the former being dated October 11, 1983 and the latter being released 7 days later.

Although technically the v1(15) ROM would have been in every Model 4P released before October 18, 1983, the 7 day window leads us to believe that it would have applied only to very very very early models. However, there is no known dump of the v1(15) ROM.

If you have a Model 4P and are interested in helping, turn it on and hold down the “V” key. After a few seconds a message which reads “Boot ROM Version is ___”. If you have a 4P where it is 1(15), and are willing to dump the ROM (instructions will be provided), please send me an email.

February 4, 2010 – More Zaps / Tips / Tricks
Those of you who are on comp.sys.tandy (which should be all of you) probably know that I have uncovered a notebook I kept back in the day which had weird routines, pokes, peeks, factoids, etc. I have been updating the Zaps/Mods/Pokes/Tricks pages accordingly, and envision getting the notebook contents onto the site.
