It's a ghost town...

Not in the local supermarket. They are all buying stuff as if a famine was eminent. And all I wanted was something to eat as lunch and, if it's not asking too much, something to drink to get through the day.
I have lived with several Zen masters - all of them were cats. His last invention was an evil Lasagna. It didn't kill anyone, and it actually tasted pretty good.

So break out the Doom disk and settle down for a good day ... :laugh:

I still have a PS/2 port and the IDE controller to design. After that, I will have to come up with BIOS functions to access my DIY hardware. Do you think 8MB RAM will be enough for an 8 bit CPU or should I better get 16 MB?

Well speaking from experience writing the low level device drivers is a world of headaches. So best to put that off until you have achieved enough to go 'I do know what I am doing'. 8MB ram should be more than enough, I mean the old 8 bits rarely had anything above 128K...

Was Doom ever ported to PS2?

ToDo lint Done Bits: 1. Have motored around the office on a chair 2. Office supplies, already raided (got quite a nice stapler) is locked 3. Beer in the fridge, you are joking, care has to be taken Friday lunch times as we have random breathelizer tests 4. Pub opposite doesn't open 'till midday! 5. Post random s*** on CP 6. Stare a pidgeon feet on the sky light

He was prolly disappointed to not have the office to himself!

Do you do any Echo Cancellation too btw. :-\ We are implementing SIP telephony on a PC with speakers and a microphone attached, and everything is singing around like crazy. I googled a bit, but results are not very promising, I read about a guy who needed a year to implement Echo Cancellation in software ...

Hey, at least I'm not bit banging everything like we used to in the old days. :-) The routines to send or receive bytes over a bit banged 4800 baud serial port were a world of headaches. Waiting for an interrupt, taking a byte from a controller and pushing it into a buffer is endearingly simple compared to that.

That may be true in some remote parts of the world. Anyway, I am not the first one to use it here in the Lounge. [^oxforddictionaries](https://en.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/prolly)

I walk past the local council and government offices every day on the dog walk, and the car park is jam-packed... except on a Friday - any Friday - when it's mostly empty by lunchtime. ..and I pay my taxes for this... it's a disgrace, I tell ya.

They probably look out the window and say "look at that man being able to walk his dog during the day, it's a disgrace"

"4800" Youngster, it was "1200" in my day...

300, but we tuned up our software until we had at least 1200. Disable interrupts and we could get 2400. 4800 could only be reached by clocking the CPU at maximum. If you were really good, you did everything to overclock the CPU (including *gasp* active cooling) and maybe even reached 9600.
