New basic interpreter for the Z8 with an extended range of functions.
New functions: FOR, NEXT, STEP, ABS, RND, PEEK, POKE, SIZE, WAIT, DELAY, PIN, POUT (PIN, POUT for port input and output)
Existing functions: LIST, RUN, NEW, CLEAR, LET, IF, GOTO, GOSUB, RETURN, REM, INPUT, PRINT, END, USR
BASIC programs can be loaded via the serial interface. (Instructions in the ZIP file)
All other functions are integrated. In the new ZIP there is a short description.
The basic interpreter has a memory size of 4KB.
U3 - 2KB SRAM 6116 must be equipped
U17 - 32KB SRAM 62256 (24KB usable) must be populated
The BASIC interpreter will be further developed.
It is possible to adjust the crystal frequencies in the BIN file. (see description in the ZIP file)
