Wakefield 2006 RISC OS Computer Show
I would like to welcome you all to this, our eleventh annual show in Wakefield. There have been many ups and downs over the last eleven years, since the first show at Cedar Court, organised in thirteen weeks, which ended up taking over the entire hotel. Ever since then, we have been at our current venue of Thornes Park. Over the years we have had many interesting attractions and features, such as the guest appearance by Johnny Ball one year. Of course, the show has seen many new hardware and software launches and previews over the years, some more successful then others: Kinetic, Peanut, Phoebe, StrongARM, Vantage, RiScript and so on. In fact, this year it is ten full years since we saw the very first StrongARM at the first Wakefield Show, as well as being the 25th Anniversary of the BBC Micro! Even now, we still have people developing for this famous microcomputer, which helped to start the home computer revolution. Be sure to visit both the JGH BBC Software and Domesday System stands during your visit. The Domesday Project is another superb example of how advanced we were with the BBC Master and other Acorn products of the 1980s. Now we are looking to the future with the new A9home, which is expected to be on retail sale or available for ordering at the show. Over the years we have had visitors to the show from all over the world, from countries such as New Zealand, Australia, South Africa, Belgium, Finland, Sweden and the USA; not bad for an amateur show! Another long-standing attraction of the show is of course the charity stall, which allows redundant equipment to be recycled, and through your kind support the stall has raised many thousands of pounds, primarily for the Wakefield Hospice, over the years. -

Improving the Beaglebone Board with Embedded Ubuntu, Enhanced GPMC Driver and Python for Communication and Graphical Prototypes
Final Master Thesis Improving the BeagleBone board with embedded Ubuntu, enhanced GPMC driver and Python for communication and graphical prototypes By RUBÉN GONZÁLEZ MUÑOZ Directed by MANUEL M. DOMINGUEZ PUMAR FINAL MASTER THESIS 30 ECTS, JULY 2015, ELECTRICAL AND ELECTRONICS ENGINEERING Abstract Abstract BeagleBone is a low price, small size Linux embedded microcomputer with a full set of I/O pins and processing power for real-time applications, also expandable with cape pluggable boards. The current work has been focused on improving the performance of this board. In this case, the BeagleBone comes with a pre-installed Angstrom OS and with a cape board using a particular software “overlay” and applications. Due to a lack of support, this pre-installed OS has been replaced by Ubuntu. As a consequence, the cape software and applications need to be adapted. Another necessity that emerges from the stated changes is to improve the communications through a GPMC interface. The depicted driver has been built for the new system as well as synchronous variants, also developed and tested. Finally, a set of applications in Python using the cape functionalities has been developed. Some extra graphical features have been included as example.

1 Mbyte Chip-RAM Für Alle
1 MByte Chip-RAM für alle Wer oft mit Grafikprogrammen arbeitet, hat's sicher schon erlebt: Während einer Operation, z.B. dem Ausschneiden eines Bildteils, alarmiert die Meldung, daß der vorhandene Speicher nicht ausreicht und die Operation abgebrochen wird. Und das obwohl der Amiga mit einer zusätzlichen Speicherkarte aufgerüstet wurde. Der Grund für die Fehlermeldung ist einfach: Die RAM-Karte wird vom Amiga als Fast-RAM ins System eingebunden. Grafikprogramme wie DPaint benötigen zum effektiven Arbeiten aber viel Chip-RAM. Chip-RAM heißt der Teil des Speichers, auf den die Custom-Chips für Sound und Grafik per DMA (Direct Memory Access = direkter Speicherzugriff) zugreifen können. Das Fast-RAM liegt außerhalb dieses Bereichs. Ältere Amiga-Modelle können auch nur 512 KByte Chip-RAM ansprechen. Die Ursache liegt im älteren Agnus 8371 oder an einem nicht voll aktivierten 8372A. Mit etwas Löterfahrung und Werkzeug können Sie Ihrem Amiga zu mehr Chip-RAM verhelfen. Sie können Ihren Amiga aufschrauben und die Typenbezeichnung des Chips ablesen (der Agnus-Chip ist das quadratische IC, meist ist auch ein entsprechender Platinenaufdruck vorhanden). Wenn Sie die Platinenrevision Ihres Amigas wissen, läßt sich auch daraus auf den Agnus-Typ schließen. Die Platinenrevision finden Sie beim Amiga 500 rechts vor dem Diskettenlaufwerk und beim Amiga 2000 links vorne in der Ecke. Oft wird die Nummer von einem Aufkleber verdeckt, den Sie erst entfernen müssen. Findet sich beim Amiga 500 an der angegebenen Stelle keine Bezeichnung, so handelt es sich um ein Board der Revision 3. Die Tabelle »Platinenrevisionen« zeigt eine Liste der Platinenrevisionen und deren technische Daten. Platinenrevisionen Modell Amiga 500 Amiga 500 Amiga 2000 Amiga 2000 Platine Rev. -

Captain Cosmo's Whizbang Has Finally Made the Big Time with a Real Book Review1n Kilobaud Courtesy Satisfied Reader Larry Stone
CAPTAIN ..COSMO'S WHIZ BANG .. By _Jeff • Duntemann For Me and You and the 1802 I WHAT IS THIS? It's a book, by cracky, about the 1802; hopefully the oddest and most entertaining book on any microprocessor ever written. The 1802 is, after all, an odd and entertaining chip. This view is not shared by all. Physicist Mike Brandl said he could swallow a mouthful of sand and barf up a better microprocessor than the 1802, and another colleague claims its instruction set demands that he program with his left hand. Bitch, bitch, bitch. I kinda like it. Much of this material I.rd oped out while recovering from hernia surgery not long ago and couldn't lift anything heavier than a 40-pin DIP. I had a lot of fun and thought you might like to be copied in on it. Like everything else I do, this book is an experiment. If I don't take a serious loss on production and mailing costs, I may do up another one. I've got a little gimcrack on the bench that'll make you people drool: an easy-to-build thermal printer for the 1802 that you can make for seventy bucks flat with all new parts. I'm working on an automatic phone dialer board and a few other things. Selectric interface. Robotics. Ham radio stuff. All kindsa things. Are you interested? Would you lay out another five beans for a Volume II? Let me know; drop me a note with any and all comments and spare not the spleen; I'm a hard man to offend and I lQ~~ crackpot letters. -

19. CD-ROM Games
Forthcoming in WOLF, Mark J.P. (ed.). Video Game History: From Bouncing Blocks to a Global Industry, Greenwood Press, Westport, Conn. 19. CD-ROM Games Carl Therrien While it became a standard relatively recently, disc-based storage goes a long way back in the history of video game distribution. The term encompasses a wide range of technologies, from magnetic floppy discs, analog laserdiscs, to a variety of digital optical media. Of the latter, the CD-ROM enjoyed the strongest following and the longest lifespan; as of 2006, a significant number of PC games are still burned on CDs. When it became the most common video game distribution format in the mid nineteen-nineties, the compact disc was already a standard in the music industry. In contrast to the magnetic tapes used for the distribution of albums and movies, optical discs allowed relatively fast, random, non-linear access to the content. But these features were already common in the realm of cartridge-based video game systems; the ROMs in Atari 2600 or Super Nintendo game cartridges were directly connected to the system’s working memory and could be read instantly. The CD drive optical head couldn’t compete; as a matter of fact, optical discs introduced the infamous “loading” screen to the console gamer. Video games benefited first and foremost from the storage capabilities of the CD-ROM. While the CD format shares its core technical principle with the more recent DVD standard (found in the Xbox and PlayStation 2) and other dedicated formats (such as the Dreamcast’s GD-ROM and the Gamecube optical disc), this chapter will focus solely on the integration of CD-ROM technology and its consequences on game design and development.
