Hopefully this won;t develop into a flamewar....
I am looking for a terminal emoulator program that runs on the Epson HX20.
The copy of SIDHA-Dialog that was on a website is corrupt. I contacted the
website owner, he agrees, in fact it's not a tar fiel atall, but an html
error page!. Does anyone know of a terminal emulator for the HX20?
I also read a rumour that there was a FORTH ROM for the HX20 that plugged
into the empty ROM socket in the machine. Does anyone have an image of
that or, inded, images of any other option ROMs for it?
Thanks in advnce for any help
This probably won't be any help, since I no longer have ANY of it (Uncle
Roger has most of my old hardware. also schematics and "service" manual).
15-20 years ago, there was a crude terminal program
for the HC-20 (HX in
beige instead of grey, with addition of katakana character set). That
would presumably been from Hudson Soft or Ski Soft.
There was a text editor called SkiWriter from SkiSoft.
Right.... I usspect that's going to be equally hard to find :-(. And I
also susepct that word processing o na 20*4 display is an 'interesting'
experiece.... I guess there was always the video interface, but (a) it's
uses the 6847 chip so it has the tame text capbailities as a CoCo) and
(b) it's impossible to find (I don't have it).
