Thanks to both of you!
That README file really need to have a file extension!
Man is that packed full of info!! Going through is slowly but I probably don't need half of it! And who is this Peter Broughton dude? What's his story? Did he manage to get Microbees to run at 6+ Mhz? Nice one! That must have been the fastest Z80 machine at the time!
I actually managed to get it going by using the bn56.rom, the premium_128_getting_to_know_your_microbee_ds40.dsk and the edasm_v42_ds40.dsk.
But man... Is EDASM hard work! Holy moly.
Thanks, ChickenMan... I'll get those disk images and try them out.
What I ideally want to get to try is that CF card mod you did. If I can get a Microbee that is just the main keyboard (so thus portable) and be able to run EDASM (maybe Wordbee as well since EDASM is such hard work for editing) and be able to save files easily rather than using a Tape, then that is my dream setup.
Oh and random comment: Man, there are sooooo many different models of Microbee!! How the hell did software developer pick a platform to develop to?? Like, what was the most common Bee out there and what would be considered a "base" model that you could be sure the majority of machines could be targeted for your code?
