Info for spectrum


Sinclair ZX Spectrum (and clones)

Usage Notes (TK90X/TK95):
TK90X/TK95 add two commands to the Sinclair BASIC: TRACE 1/0 (E cursor, Symbol Shift+P)
turns on/off the display of the line currently executed. UDG 0/1/2 (K/L/C cursor,
Symbol Shift+X) controls the behavior of the (guess what?) UDGs: when the parameter is 0/1
they restore their shape to accented letters used in the Portuguese language (still haven't
discovered the difference between 0 and 1) while the UDG 2 command activate the built-in
character editor: you can use the keys 5,6,7,8 +CAPS or Symbol Shift to plot/move the
cursor, the A-U keys to select the UDG to edit or copy (with the shift keys), INVERSE
VIDEO key to reverse the character. Maybe there are yet more command-keys, but I haven't
discovered them yet. Curiously, the BEEP command has been renamed to SOUND: who knows why...

Known Issues:
Requires full keyboard emulation. At startup, full keyboard emulation mode is enabled by
default. Whilst in full keyboard emulation mode, some key associated functionality may be
disabled (like the ESC key for EXIT). The keyboard emulation mode is toggled using the
scroll_lock key.
