Amstrad Magnum Phaser

2020-08-23T13:20:17Z

HERMOL:

The '''Magnum Light Phaser''' was released later on in the Amstrads' life, and retailed for £24.99 in the UK.

It came supplied with a cassette and a disk, both containing six games.

464 version plugs into FLOPPY DISC socket, whereas 6128 plugs into the EXPANSION socket.

The main reason to buy this gun was for the excellent Amstrad conversion of Operation Wolf. Playing this with a light gun on your Arnold was the arcade experience people relished but rarely got back in the 80's.

The other supplied games were fun for a while, but by far the high point was Operation Wolf.

== Using the gun ==

You should position yourself 1.2m from the monitor. Make sure there are no reflections on your monitor from other sources otherwise the gun will detect this and give false results. A dark room is best.

== Technical ==

The gun senses light intensity. When it detects light it will generate an edge on the LPEN input of the CRTC. This causes the CRTC to remember the current address.

Most games will blank the screen to black and put white rectangles on the targets on the screen. This is done to make sure the gun detects these regions and not other bright pixels on the screen. This can be quite distracting while playing the game.

The accuracy is 1 CRTC character (R9 lines in height - normally 8) and 2 bytes horizontally. This is due to the way the CRTC outputs are mapped to memory addresses.

Connects to expansion port 50pin edge connector. It uses only 4
pins: VCC, GND, LPEN, D7. It doesn't decode any address lines or
/IORQ lines.
Trigger Button ---> Request via output to Port FBFEh, then check CRTC input
Light Sensor ---> CRTC Light Pen Input

When the Trigger button is not pressed, D7 is connected to LPEN. As D7 is always evolving, it generates edges to the LPEN input of the CRTC. So the CRTC is constantly refreshing its registers R16 and R17.

When the Trigger button is pressed, LPEN is connected to the photo-diode of the lightgun. That means that an edge is produced only once per frame in this case.

Retreving the status of the Trigger button is done by changing the D7 value, trying to generate an edge on LPEN, and then checking if the CRTC has refreshed its R16/R17 registers.

To read the Trigger button (to be done during vblank):
Port[BCxxh]=11h ;select CRTC register 11h
old=Port[BFxxh] ;-get old value
Port[FBFEh]=7Fh ;\force an edge on the lpen input
Port[FBFEh]=80h ;/(depending on whether button is pressed or not)
new=Port[BFxxh] ;-get new value
if old=new then ; The Trigger button is pressed
...
else ; The Trigger button is not pressed
...

== Supported Games ==

* [[Bullseye]]
* [[Missile Ground Zero]]
* [[Operation Wolf]]
* [[Robot Attack]]
* [[Rookie]]
* [[Solar Invasion]]

Mastertronic released some more games with Magnum Light Phaser support, but they were mostly budget-type Spectrum ports.

* [[American Turbo-King]]
* [[Billy the Kid]]
* [[Bronx Street Cop]]
* [[F-16 Fighting Falcon]]
* [[Jungle Warfare]]

All five releases were also available on the [[Megaplay 2]] compilation.

Mirage Imager

2018-09-12T14:31:11Z

HERMOL:

An addon that enables you to freeze any program and store it to disc.

Made by [[Mirage Microcomputers Ltd]].

The device was also available for the [[ZX Spectrum]], this version was called the "Mirage Microdriver", and could save data either to tape or to Sinclair's "Microdrive"; an external high-speed tape drive.

The initial Spectrum version was released in 1985, although there was a later version released in 1986 (see Crash Issue 25, link below).

The CPC version was released in 1986.

The tool can backup RAM contents (including CPU registers pushed in RAM), but, unlike [[Multiface II]], it cannot backup read-only I/O ports like CRTC (vram address/size) and Gate Array (screen colors) - the included software allows to manipulate that values manually (this would be only required with programs that use nonstandard CRTC value, or that use direct I/O to modify colors).

Now, thanks to Jose Leandro, the hardware specialist of the spectrum, with his famous page :

http://trastero.speccy.org/cosas/JL/JL.htm

We can know more about this hardware.

RS232

2015-07-29T18:18:24Z

HERMOL:

In telecommunications, '''RS-232''' is a standard for serial binary data interconnection between a DTE (Data terminal equipment) and a DCE (Data communication equipment). It is commonly used in computer serial ports. RS is an abbreviation for "Recommended Standard".

== RS232 Peripherals for the CPC ==

=== Standard Interfaces ===

Interfaces using same chipset and I/O ports as Amstrad's official serial interface:
* [[Amstrad Serial Interface]] ([[Amstrad]])
* [[Panda Electronics Communications Interface Unit]] (dual RS232 plus 8bit printer port) (Panda Electronics Ltd)
* [[SCA CPC Prolink]] (single RS232 port) ([[SCA]])
* [[Spectre Comms Serial Interface]] with Cage Comms software ([[Spectre Communications]])
* [[Vortex Disc Drives]] (disc drive/interface with optional RS232 port) ([[Vortex Computersysteme]])

=== Non-Standard Interfaces ===

Interfaces that use other chipset or other I/O ports as than Amstrad's official interface - these interfaces aren't compatible with the standard Amstrad interface (nor are they compatible with each other):
* [[Aleste 520EX]] (a CPC clone with built-in RS232, intended for serial mouse)
* [[AMSSIO]] (RS232 interface) (DIY)
* [[Cirkit serial interface]] ([[Cirkit]])
* [[CPC Booster|CPC Booster/CPC Booster+]] (modern multifunction expansion, including RS232)

* [[Simple RS232 for Printer usage]] (DIY) (one-directional, transmit only)
* [[Z80-SIO dual ports RS232 interface for CPC (French)]] (DIY)

=== Unidentified Interfaces ===

Interfaces where I/O ports and/or chipset are unknown:
* Cirkit twin-port serial interface (resold by [[Microstyle]])
* [[Data Media Disc System]] (disc drive with built-in RS232 interface) ([[Data Media]])
* [[Dual RS232]] ([[Timatic Systems]])

CPC Booster

2015-07-29T17:28:39Z

HERMOL: /* Source and Schematics */

[[Image:Cpcbooster.jpg|thumb|CPC Booster]]
[[Image:Cpcboosterplus.jpg|thumb|CPC Booster+]]

The '''CPC Booster (+)''' is an extension card for the CPC specialized on I/O features constructed by [[Antitec]] / [[Dirty Minds]]. It includes components like a very fast serial interface, a music digitizer, a DAC and even a free programmable and useable microcontroller (AVR). It is possible to connect a Bluetooth module transparently to the CPC Booster, which means that you can use the normal CPC Booster software with this solution, too.

== Features ==

''This list of CPC Booster+ features has been copied from its homepage''

* '''ONE SYNCHRONOUS/ASYNCHRONOUS SERIAL PORT:''' Improved serial port (RS232) with the ability to enable parity check, select the bits of the frame, the stop bits and many more things to control it. The speed is from 4800 baud till 1,382,400 bauds.
* '''SERIAL PORT BUFFER:''' A 255 bytes buffer added for the UART which can be enabled/disabled by the user. Improves performance of the serial communication.
* '''TWO ANALOG INPUTS:''' Two analog to digital convertors. They are used for stereo or mono 8bit sound sampling. You can select the sampling rate directly from the cpc booster.
* '''TWO PWM CHANNELS:''' They are used as digital to analog convertors through a LOW PASS RC filter. You can play stereo 8bit samples if you connect the board to an amplifier.
* '''5 DIGITAL INPUT/OUTPUTS:''' You can connect anything that supports TTL logic. You can even drive relays or step motors if you know how to make the appropriate connections. You can also make parallel 4 bit communication with another CPC.
* '''512 BYTES EEPROM:''' EEPROM is like RAM but the contents remain intact if you remove power, it doesn't need a battery.
* '''256 BYTES RAM:''' The booster+ has a 256 bytes buffer to be used for temporary storage of values (like storing the registers).
* '''SEVERAL MATHEMATICAL FUNCTIONS:''' At the moment I've only installed multiplication but as soon as I get the time, me and Optimus will write some fast code for division, sin, cos, tan etc.
* '''BIOS UPDATE:''' This is one of the best features of the card. It is possible to make an update of the bios of the microcontroller through the CPC. So, when I release new versions of the bios, you can download them, transfer them to the CPC and make an update of the card in a few seconds!
* '''ROM READ/WRITE:''' The AVR MEGA16 has 16KB of program memory. The bios of the CPC booster uses less than 5 KB so far. So you can use more than 10KB for your own purposes! You can read/write the program memory of the CPC booster but BE CAREFUL when you write because you may accidentally erase the BIOS data!
* '''KEYBOARD SCANNING:''' A function which will make keyboard scanning a lot easier
* '''TCP / IP IMPLEMENTATION:''' This is also a feature I want to add in the future in order to give the CPC users the ability to go online in the internet with their CPC! In this part everyone can contribute, if you have knowledge of how the PPP and TCP/IP works, then contact me.
* '''RS485 NETWORK:''' An RS485 network is installed in the CPC Booster+. With this it's easier than ever to make a super fast network of up to 32 CPCs, forget everything else you've seen so far. Note: The small 2-position switch allows to select between RS232 and RS485 mode.
* '''1 WIRE PROTOCOL:''' Support for the 1wire protocol is added. Now you can connect many 1 wire devices in the expansion port of the booster, here's a link to get an idea: [http://www.maxim-ic.com/products/1-wire/]

== Technical ==

The overall I/O ports are described in the manual (see there).

The documentation lacks some important details though. For example:
* It fails to describe which of the two PWM channels is the left, and which is the right channel - so the the "stereo" feature could be used only when doing some reverse-engineering.
* Some differences between CPC Booster and CPC Booster+ are the type of CPU and the serial interface / networking interface.

== Software ==

* Arkos ROM Pack: [http://www.julien-nevo.com/arkos/tools.html]
* Some functions of the CPC-Booster(+) are supported by [[FutureOS]].
* Updates to the CPC-Booster software are available as 3 zip files (dated 2 Feb 05, 5 July 05, 28 July 05), though the latest source code appears to be from December 2010. Antitec's web site says to apply them in order. Each update also includes Antitec's terminal application.
* The updates are also saved here: [[File: update1.zip|update1.zip]] [[File: update2.zip|update2.zip]] [[File: update3.zip|update3.zip]]

== Manual ==

* [[Programming:CPC_Booster|CPC Booster+ manual]] (Wiki page)
* [[Media:CPC-Booster+.pdf|CPC Booster+ manual]] (pdf)

== Source and Schematics ==
* The source code, schematics and PCB layout are available here: [ftp://ftp.cpcszene.de/pub/Computer/Amstrad_CPC/Hardware/CPCBoosterPlus/ CPC Booster Plus on cpcszene.de ftp server]
* The source code is also kept (and maintained?) with the Linux CPC SDK here: [https://code.google.com/p/cpcsdk/source/browse/trunk/resources/CPC_BOOSTER CPC Booster Plus at CPC SDK]
* A local copy of the source code/schematics is also preserved here: [[File:CPCBoosterPlus.zip|CPCBoosterPlus.zip]]

Digivox sampler

2010-03-19T18:14:39Z

HERMOL: /* Weblinks */

A sound sampler.

Aside from sampling, it does maybe also support playback...?

Not much is know about this device please add info..

== French to English translation (from cpcrulez.fr) ==

HARDWARE: DIGIVOX (c) EMM

Submitted by society EMM, the DIGIVOX is a digitized voice for Amstrad CPC. Based on the principle of sampling delta (quantification follows the evolution of the signal), this device has a bandwidth of the order of 3 000 Hz and can store up to fifteen seconds of words.

Thanks to the presence in the box 32K of RAM. The DIGIVOX thus has interesting technical characteristics but they can not hide its flaws. The return of items digitized in effect requires the presence of the box to the other, the digitization of music reached a level of questionable quality and reproduction strikingly similar to the reception of an AM radio station using any a position of low quality ...

Despite all his technical qualities, it would be surprising to see DIGIVOX win. Especially since its been (over 1000 F) is a deterrent for the individual and the market potential is anyway too small for developers interested in this product.

Jill Lawson

HERMOL: /* Links */

Jill Lawson (born 16th February 1935) was well known in the Amstrad CPC community for her high quality MODE 1 artwork. Many of her screens were hand-drawn using ''[[Screen Designer]]'' by [[Amsoft]], although later on, she began using ''[[The Advanced OCP Art Studio|OCP Advanced Art Studio]]'' by [[Rainbird]]. Her artwork frequently adorned the covers of CPC magazines such as ''[[Amstrad Computer User]]'' (''ACU'') and ''[[CPC_(magazine)|CPC]]'', and she also created loading screens for several of [[Amsoft]]'s games.

The front cover of the August 1985 issue of ''ACU'' featured several of Jill's pictures, to accompany an article written by her comparing several art packages. The reaction from readers was so positive that a few months later, ''ACU'' made over ten of her pictures available on a collection called ''Electro Art'', priced at £9.95, or £14.95 for a special signed edition. Later on, these pictures, as well as many more, would be released by [[Pride Utilities]] as ''[[Electric Lantern Show]]''.

Jill went on to write several articles for ''ACU'' comparing art packages, and revealing her techniques for drawing MODE 1 pictures on a CPC.
