ANNOUNCE: Science of Cambridge (Sinclair) MK14 Emulator
AutismUK
Hi everyone !
The first Sinclair Computer to be made is now emulated. I've written an
emulator for the Science of Cambridge MK14 trainer kit. Guaranteed 100%
compatible with all commercial software.
It's available from http://users.aol.com/mk14emu/index.htm. It's only
a 5k download (Zipped 11k COM file). Full debugging facilities are
available.
Also on the site : Schematics, Parts List, ROM Listing, Assembler
tools, Information on the SC/MP microprocessor and I/O chip, an
FAQ and a tutorial.
Regards, Paul Robson (auti...@aol.com)

Thanks for the site. I've often wondered what the MK-14 was and now I
can emulate it. I'd love to have one for real but I guess they're
pretty rare. At least I know what I'm looking for.
Well done,
Steve.

Just spoke to Sir Clive. In the few minutes I had to talk to him for a
feature I'm working on for PCF, I mentioned the fact that there's now an
MK14 emulator. He was quietly amused:
"(Laughs) Oh dear... It gets madder and madder!"
Good work, fella.
Jim.

Great. Now, can wtite speccy emulator ;)
Has anyone thought of making an emulator that can read long file names
in dos (but not write, cos it could f**k it up). Don't tell me it can't
be done, cos I've seen a proggy that can do this.

Already done it. Now have MK14, ZX80,ZX81 and Speccy emulators.
Maybe I should write a QL and Z88 emulator for completeness ?

Mk14 Emulator : just started.... but works.
http://users.aol.com/autismuk/emu.htm [might be emu.html]
and (I think) sinclair.htm
Spectrum Emulator : Dead ordinary Asm based 48k Speccy Em,
has a decent debugger, source available, unspectacular. Interesting
approach to sound based on guessing what the game is trying to do :
results vary between wonderful and dire. Ok but not brilliant.
ZX81/ZX80 Emulator : Emulates a ZX80 or 81, will run just about
anything. More compatible than Xtender 1, less compatible than
Xtender 2 (but freeware and speed limited). Very good emu
(modest), very pleased with this one.
and a Jupiter Ace emulator (ex Sinclair employee machine)
somewhere between Speccy and '81, FORTH based. Pretty
accurate (say about 95%) some software available. (more to
come soon, thanks guys).
All source available (assembler) except MK14 (not yet)

??
Could you explain further on that sound guessing stuff?

Me too! I haven't tried Xtender 2, but yours was the only one in
which I could run City Patrol (a nostalgic game for me) properly.

Your emulator gave me the chance to see how did the Ace look like.

I'm curious about it :)
