Yeah it's been a while since we last talked 
Oh, I thought it was good for all ZX computers, not just the ZX81. Everything explained now, thanks.
I didn't know divIDE didn't save. That's kinda shit. I don't have a Spectrum anymore anyway, ut at some point, who knows, maybe I want it back
I used to have one of these too (Timex 1000) with a !!16KB!!! expansion, but I never used it 
Thanks for the data!
I'm learning with octamed 5.04 yay?
Boooooo!
Protracker 2.3d for life.
E vocé é a minha, Pulselooperinha!
okay i lie, i took longer than 30 minutes, but thats beside the point
No, it isn't besides the point.
Do you really expect to get any sort of results after 1 hour, 1 day, 1 week, 1 MONTH of messing around with something you previously had no idea of????
And if you are tone deaf, what else can I fucking say?

A Motorola 68030 processor. Like the one in my Amiga's accelerator.

How does this compare with divIDE, Yerz?
I've heard that composing music on them isn't like writing sheet music etc. but it uses hexidecimal characters.
NUMBERWANG!
Hexadecimal notation is used only for effect parameters. The notes are displayed as, well, notes.
My head is spinning.
Awesome shit.
Oh, nice one on the HD interface. I hope it uses RDB partition format instead of custom, that way you can plug it into a PC and work with it using WinUAE (for easy file transfer for example).
The way I did my selectable startup sequences was by pure AmigaDOS script commands.
What I like about the "press key on boot up" method is that the command works without needing to open a Workbench screen with an AmigaDOS window in it. This, even though it sounds ridiculous, saves a bunch of memory, which is crucial in more limited systems. Also it's fast, opening up a screen takes time and then you have to type or whatever... If you put this really early on, it's very fast to boot.
This is the keypressed util:
http://aminet.net/package/util/batch/KeyPressed
It even includes some examples. Basically yu have to invoke it and analyze its output with a "warn" command, then act accordingly with a bunch of ifs and elses.
You can make "subroutines" in scripts using the commands "lab" and "skip". "lab" defines a subroutine name and "skip" goes to the subroutine you want.
Then again, all this is valid on Kickstart 2.0+, I don't know about 1.3. I think these commands are available but on disk instead of resident in ROM.
If you make an "F-key" type utility like Ilkke recommends, you could do it with keypress, adding a little bootblock screen that reminds you of what to press! it would be hella fast.

there's always someone less talented willing to do it for less money. which really sucks.
QFT
This problem is related to horizontal scan, not to vertical refresh rate.
If you had a vertical refresh rate problem, you'd get a jumpy image that displaces in a vertical manner.
The anomaly you are getting comes from wrong horizontal scan as I said.
Try a game instead of TOS.
The uber-snazzy script I mentioned earlier is what I used for HD, but in theory it can be put on a floppy, if you can fit several of useful tools on it.
I think it uses some special libraries so I have to look and see exactly what needs to be on the disk, then I will zip it up and share.
Nope. Only loadwb. Nothing else you wrote needs be put on a floppy.
If the script gets comPlicated it might need some stuff,spexially in 1.3 Amigas like the 500.
HDs for A500 are a bit strange... I dont know if i would shell out cash for one, i'd rather invest in an A600 or A1200
To run it from floppy or from HD?
AmigaDOS scripts are pretty basic. What do you need to know? I'll post it here.
Yeah I know, just ask Bleepstreet about it and they'll bust out a shotgun xD
