Computer programming milestones Bought first computer in RadioShack TRS-80 Color Computer (MC6809EColor Basic - Microsoft) 4KB ram -> upgraded to 32K by means of piggybacking two banks of 16K memory chips and adding a few jumper wires. (C Programmed in ColorBASIC by Microsoft and 6809E Machine code - wrote a monitor program that let me enter hexadecimal data directly to write 6809 machine language and execute it from the monitor program. Copied Zaxxon game from copy-protected floppy disc to cassette and cartrige games to disc - (floppy disc controller used the cartrige port) had to disassemble machine code to work around invalid sector issue to bypass copy protection.(I Purchased Zaxxon - I have the right to back up my purchase)
Hardware Modifications networked the two TRS-80 C computers using the cassette output - to play "Othello"(Reversi) against each other Alpine - Created hardware to interface the output of the alarm reciever to the computer to display the code on the monitor - expediting repairs modified circuitry to display output on both 4 character X 7-segmet LED and on one oscilloscope channel to eliminate need for computer monitor (TV) on workbench installed OS-9 Unix based multi user / multi tasking OS
Atari 520ST Created the Hang Gliding topic on GENIE BBS Added 2MB - I had to run wires from the memory modules (SIP Package) to the motherboard and move the address lines on the motherboard to make the 2MB bank be bank 0 -changing from 512KB to 2.5 MB Built a 32-bit I/O board which I used to create custom test equipment for electronic testing of audio circuits.
