Here is another update:





It includes:
- SymShell now works in fullscreen mode, too (type FULL to switch between window and fullscreen mode)
- SymCommander fix: Doesn't try to load from a non existing drive anymore
- Control Panel fix: Uses system path always as default when adding new links
- bug fix in "scrolling down" screen low level routine
- SymbOS EP is now included in the info window (appinfo.exe) as well :)

Great :ds_icon_cheesygrin:

For the SD card, just overwrite in \SYMBOS directory? Can the previous SYMBOS.INI be kept?

Wow, great work :) And thanks for mentioning me in the "about window", I wouldn't expect that, but nice to see anyway :) It sill freezes with JSep sometime, but I am quite sure it is somehow JSep's problem, if it does not occur on real EP and neither with ep128emu, hmmm ...

Great news!

It would be great if SymShell were a virtual CP/M machine... :-)

The new Version works very well!! I tested some SymStudio applications and it is amazing that they run :D



Full screen Command line :D (Nice FONT!)


And some Symstudio (Trebmint) APPS (not finished)





and on the MSX it's like this :D :D :D :D

Have fun with the Z80!

Ah, 16 colours? Can be done on EP too, though at about 160 pixel horizontal resolution or only a bit more (maybe 184 pixel can be achieved but it would be overscan on regular TVs) ... Is this a stock MSX/MSX2 (sorry, I am not quite an MSX guy, we can say ...) or with that gfx9000 (if I remember correctly) add-on? Anyway, if gfx9000 is "only" a cartridge for an MSX computer, it can be done for EP128 too :-)

No it is a standard MSX2. Would be cool to have the GFX9000 Card on the Enterprise!! (I'm not a hardware Guru .. but Prodatron told me that the GFX9000 is I/O based...so on the MSX it's just a Cartridge...  Maybe it's cool to have this expansion for the Enterprise! And maybe if it exits on the enterprise we can ask him to create a 256 color version for the GFX9000 :D :D

Well, if it's a cartridge and especially it's only I/O bound stuff, than I guess it would require quite minimal logic to interface for an EP electronically and mechanically. Just I can't see it is quite easy to get a cartridge like this :-(

I'm not an expert, but the pins of a MSX cartridge seem familiar...:

Not so much a big surprise, as most of the pins are "standard Z80 bus" more or less on EP and MSX too, I guess.

I better would like a hires interlaced screen. I like more what the standard EP can do with the actual tools at hand of everybody. If you add that sofisticated graphics or sound cards you are creating a new explendorous  elitist computer unreachable by the normal user. It will end being another very different thing than an Enterprise.
