- IJ 12:47 PM Developer: RE: Register differences vs the original
- Whatever you do, please provide a hardware override to disable any difference.
Any modification or enhancement is a possible source of incompatibility, doesn't matter how remote it could be. Ideal emulation (or clone) IMHO, should be ...

- Haha, fair point:)
- XX 10:37 AM Developer: RE: Accessing new Antic modes through BASIC?
- Maybe nobody wants to use it as E: driver :)

- FO 02:01 PM Developer: RE: Accessing new Antic modes through BASIC?
- This is why I didn't prioritise it, no-one seemed keen to use it... Anyway its on the list and I'll get around to it after the big cpu/firmware rework.

- I propose using the same bit of Sophia for hi-res mode colour too:
bit4 PMCTL controls additional color in hi-res mode.
0 - 1 color, 2 luminances (default)
1 - 2 colors

- Thanks, exciting to see it on-display at a show.
- FO 05:29 PM Developer: RE: Accessing new Antic modes through BASIC?
- Actually I agree it would be cool.
So, if I fix the hardware, any hands up for an E: driver? So we can run existing software in 80 col mode with 4.5 colours?

- Yes, I would say this should have a pretty high priority as I feel this is something that really sets the Eclaire apart from other projects and could be extremely useful.
- ST 01:08 AM Developer: RE: Accessing new Antic modes through BASIC?
- Super interested in this feature - more than any other like turbo CPU etc. Hope it's pretty easy to get working.
- Got lots of questions about my EclaireXL at this weekend's show. I directed them to Atari Age thread. Had it up and running for 15 hours on Saturday and 5 on Sunday with no issues.
Link to my Flickr album of the entire show is htt...

- I can, but it doesn't work properly yet!
The register is 559, the shadow for DMACTL.
Normally its poke 559,0 to turn the screen off and poke 559,34 to turn it on. Which is the sum of 2 (normal width) and 32 (playfield dma on).

- Could somebody give me a quick rundown of how to access the new 2x and 4x Antic color clock modes from BASIC?
Thanks

- ST 02:27 AM Developer: RE: Which case are you getting?
- OK - I did not have to do nearly the cuts to this case as I thought I would. I'm pasting a link to my Flickr album. Feel free to poke around - tons more Atari albums in there and some cool car stuff / welding I've done over the years.
