It's a ghost town...

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?
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.
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

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.

Hi, It's a bloomin ghost town (cue the tune!) today in the office, nobodys here. Taking advantage of the Easter break to get a long holiday or mass UFO abduction. :~

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.

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

I was somewhat obsessed with it myself ... :-O I bought a new computer kitted out specifically for playing Doom II: DX/4 100, 32 Meg RAM, solid Graphics card, SoundBlaster, ... Did you get the "Doom dreams"?

I was terrified the first time I played the game. I didn't get "Doom dreams" but we would dial the volume up on the speakers to get maximum effective crap your pants effects. :)
Yeah, I know what you mean. That first "dark area" ... Even now the sound of an Arch-Vile seeing you raises the hair on the back of my neck. You knew there was trouble when you heard that!
