Hi All,

Just to let you know I'm having web site problems again.

The original site
http://members.lycos.co.uk/albertstc01/
is still ok and has improved as Lycos are not putting a column of
adds down the side.
Also links to other sites don't get locked into Lycos frames any more.

The mirror site
http://mysite.wanadoo-members.co.uk/retrocomputer/xindex.html
and the emulator
http://mysite.wanadoo-members.co.uk/retrocomputer/xindex.html
have been closed down by Orange.

I'll arrange new web space for these as soon as I can.

I've come to the end of my tether with Orange formerly Wanadoo
formerly Freeserve. They provide and promote services which they
later close down. First it was smart groups which I had to transfer
to this Yahoo group now the ftp web space they provided. They offer
replacement web space but you are restricted to using their
templates. Uploading own designed HTML pages can't be done. Also the
original web site addresses can't be transferred so I've lost the the
established links with search engines like Yahoo which took time to
build up.

Orange seems to be for kids and mobile phones. They don't have much
interest for their IP customers.

Orange was my Internet Provider but I've just moved to TalkTalk. I've
moved from dial up with Orange to broadband with TalkTalk and it
costs me £5 less per month. Good riddens Orange.

Work in progress with the parallel Einstein/PC link. I have now
working programing to upload the whole of the Einstein's ram to a
file on a PC running XP and vice the versa. Uploading takes just over
7 seconds. There is also a feature which will add an Einstein *.com
file into the transient program area of an Einstein ram file on the
PC which then can be downloaded to the Einstein and run. I've used
the downloading ram programing from MOS just to make sure a working
DOS would be put into ram. This I hope will possibly be helpful for
developing new or adapted DOS types which could point to different
storage media such as compact flash.

Its early days yet but the program on the pc will be an executable.
On the Einstein a ram.com file is used to load the up and downloading
code into memory. Another *.com file can then be loaded and run. A
call to the uploading code's address (provided it has not been over
written) is all thats needed to upload the ram. The call is usually
made by dropping down into MOS and using the "G" HEX ADDRESS command.
