Hi Peter,
this version is still very buggy (eg colors, CSUBs and more).

Quote this version is still very buggy (eg colors, CSUBs and more).

Works on all the programs I've tried - how about a clue or an example problem with some code?

I've run zmim, many of the welcome tape examples including CSUB, Wolf3D, Defender, plotter, tests for SORT, tests for screen corruption with copies to and from SDRAM pages,most of my programs

The current version should show 5.05.06exp1

Peter - This one works for me! I've been poking at it for an hour or more now, with no problems following my steps above.

To get the Lissajous pattern to plot, I blitted from Page 1, after loading up five arrays of 115,400 elements each (a truly amazing technical accomplishment on your part, that), with plot coordinates and colors, and then blasting through them with array LINE commands (which work great, except for the usual "off-by-one" problems. Clipping works exactly as TassyJim suggested.

What a pleasure it is to work and play in this environment and community!

I'm thinking seriously of replacing the SPST Power switch with a "Program" - "Off" - "Power" double pole triple throw switch :-) That way I don't continually have to unscrew and remove the cover to re-flash.

This is not a complaint!

I plan to add a switch to the back. However, I need to have access to the reset switch.

BTW. What version shows your start screen? I see again 5.05.06exp. (CMM2V1.5.bin /19.50h 26.10.2020)

You don't need much sleep in old age. And Peter is a cyborg - as everyone knows.

I'm afraid there is a bug in my flash process. I have flashed three times and always get 5.05.06exp. I will keep testing ...

Kind regards
Michael

@Peter
Okay, good news: there was a bug in my flash process.

All good now. All tested programs work as expected.

I think you changed/optimized the sorting again. They are faster again.
The integer sorting now seems to be relatively stable (100 tests), the sorting for floats should be watched. My first attempt resulted in a crash. Sorry!

dim a(600000)
j=0
do
j=j+1
for i=0 to 600000
a(i)=rnd
next i
timer=0
sort a()
? timer,j
loop

Result:

4562.656 1
4498.399 2
4570.22 3
4561.132 4
4526.356 5
4629.395 6
Error: System fault - possible causes
- Incorrect use of POKE
- Faulty CSUB
- Reserved words used as variables
- Firmware problem

I am confident that you will soon publish the fully functional release version.
