• Comal-80 "SuperChip"

    From andy carmony@21:1/5 to All on Thu Dec 31 15:18:42 2020
    I am looking for the Comal 80 SuperChip that was used in the Comal 80 expansion slot. I can find the original Comal 80 crt but can not find the SuperChip referenced anywhere.

    I am working on building a Comal 80 cartridges for the C64 and would like to expand on it.


    Much Thanks,

    Andy

    Never heard of Comal 80 before this. I am interested in your project.
    Is the Comal 80 language still be developed?

    No, not really. There are some OpenComal for different OS's on a few websites, all are quite outdated.

    As it is now I have a non-working prototype. I have some new brand name 74LS logic chips coming to see if that's my problem. I don't have a website or anything, but probably will post it on git hub once it's working.

    Thanks for your interest. Would you be interested in a cartridge once I get it lined out?

    We have made a revive of the COMAL-80 Super Chip: Super Chip II https://www.forum64.de/index.php?thread/139801-comal-80-super-chip-package-eigene-implementierung/

    Cause it was not possible to find a working copy we have written new code for most of the functions and procedures in Super Chip.
    You can burn a 32K EPROM for your COMAL cartridge.
    Or you can test this in VICE using the ComalSC2.crt

    Have fun!

    Now COMAL-80 is running in a cartridge on my Commodore c128.

    Both versions:
    - COMAL for C64 (v2.01)
    - COMAL for C128 (v2.02)

    Nice! Is there anything in particular you are doing with it?

    ... My reality check just bounced
