This applet is my Tandy Color Computer emulator, still under development.
It's hopefully running in your browser underneath all this text. You can
type in commands in BASIC. Since my real CoCo doesn't work anymore,
I had to guess on the colors and the 6847 emulation is very incomplete.
I have only tested this with Netscape 7.0 under Debian Linux and Internet
Explorer under Windows XP. You might have to click on the CoCo screen to
enable typing. Yeah, it's buggy and could probably be a lot better. I'm
using this project to teach myself Java and have fun.
There is floppy in the CoCo's disk drive that contains three files:
- LISP.BAS - a Lisp interpreter I wrote in BASIC when I was a kid.
- LISP.BIN - the Lisp interpreter compiled with a BASIC compiler I wrote when I was a kid.
- FACT.LSP - a Lisp function that does factorial.
To run the compiled Lisp interpreter, enter the following:
CLEAR 200,&H2FFF
LOADM"LISP"
EXEC
To load FACT.LSP, display the function, find the factorial of 5,
and exit, enter the following from the LISP> prompt:
(LOAD 'FACT.LSP)
(CAR FUNCLIST)
(FACT 5)
(EXIT)
I've noticed a lot of people trying to access this emulator and only
retrieving this page, coco.html, without their browsers bringing
in coco.class which is the emulator itself. I've also noticed
people getting coco.class without the emulator trying to access
the files on this server that it needs. If this happens to you, please
let me know about it, and what
happens when you access this page. Thanks.
