#AgonLight ORIGINS edition makes a special appearance in Tommy's latest video:

After many hours of work, much testing, and a lot of collaboration with Daniel Paul Martin, his TRS-OS is brought to life on the #AgonLight - bringing the rich history of TRS-80 operating systems to modern hardware. Screenshots of the initial boot screen and an Agon-specific colour changing tool are attached. You can download the bootstrap and get the rest of the details at https://github.com/sijnstra/agon-projects/tree/main/OSboot

Today I'm racing courier companies. Royal Mail, Amazon and DHL. So far Royal Mail are first with my #agonlight but there's still second place to play for.

Getting there - stability and features are slowly improving. Still a way to go, but it's getting more fun as we get more working. Here's some other screen shots showing different colours, and that my patches to the #AgonLight VDP for ADDS25 terminal support now get inverse text, clear screen and cursor control to work. I also had to work around to force screen width to 80 character.

Live porting of CP/M to #AgonLight!

This is NOT #IT; it's not the 'big news' that is coming. But this too, is coming, and you deserve to have the first sneak peek. #AgonLight #OriginsEdition @olimex

@Gammitin Vintage hardware can be expensive, unreliable and impractical without modern add ons. The #AgonLight is cheap (~50£/$/€) is made from modern components, uses an SD card for storage and hosts a modern eZ80 CPU running at 18MHz. This CPU has an extended 24-bit address bus so you can access the 512KB RAM without having to use bank-switching and segments. https://www.thebyteattic.com/p/agon.html

@nihirash I'd love to get one of those machines. But, yeah, the price is way too high to justify the purchase. I did pick up an Agon Light ($50) and I've been having a blast with it I've also got my eye on the new 6502 board @olimex is working on. #AgonLight

You can now control your home from an #AgonLight!! @olimex https://olimex.wordpress.com/2023/06/26/agonlight2-hvio-is-open-source-hardware-board-which-adds-4-ssr-outputs-and-4-optoisolated-inputs-to-agonlight2-retro-z80-computer/

Wow! MSX DOS on #AgonLight!

@thom

I have the same objection of using Facebook.

But have you an idea for an alternative for Facebook? The only ones I’m aware of could be Discord and Google groups. And those are probably only slightly less evil.

What could be an important criteria as well is that all collected information doesn’t disappear if the service provider closes shop.

So, I [finally] managed to build and run NuttX on the eZ80:

There is now an #AgonLight emulator available, which enables software development even for those who haven't got the hardware yet!

Nice #AgonLight video, including build, by Tim's Retro Corner: https://youtu.be/mlVW3eiqYis

Finally had some time to go back to the #AgonLight #MIDI stuff. MIDI-In circuit worked first try (actually: second try, I had to swap the MIDI data lines) - Making this work on the AgonLight in assembler was a lengthy process, but it now works, including using the internal speaker to play back the incoming MIDI notes.

Code and preliminary hardware designs here: https://github.com/halfbyte/agon_light_midi

This is tedious but fun and I learn a ton.
