Well would you look at that..it only bloody worked.
The red border is flashing ed then black as timer has went below three seconds. I like that you can do that with a single command.

Sounds still a mystery. Really want a wee tick for the timer that speeds up as it gets closer to zero. Maybe play with that tomorrow night.

Once i manage to figure out how to convert the wav to cdt, I'll share it in case anyone wants a go.

Damn. Didnt know there were different types of key caps for amstrad cpc 464.

The keys i ordered are on the left. Keys from my cpc are on the right.

The seller stated they were 13mm. Which is what i thought mine were. Shoulda checked the picture in listing closer.

I might be able to use em. Perhaps 3d print some sort of adaptor thingy.

Well would you look at that. My working on modern (ish) tv thanks to rgb scart from retro computer shack ( also got an cable from them as well)

A car cassete adaptor connected to my pc, some wintzx and big old pile of CDT files form the interwebz and we are good to go.

Look at that. It all works.

It's alive!
The amstrad LIVES!

Sort of.
When i got it there was no display on monitor. But the computer responded to commands , hence the sound and run "" command to start cassette player in the image.

I left monitor to warm up, and notices a tiny signal getting to it. So i cleaned to powere connection to cpc as best i could wig cotton bud. It does look like i need to use something to clean crud off. Not sure if that made a difference.

From the sellers description of the issues he had with the monitor. It shows nothing if plugged into the but if he plugs a into it he gets image.

The cpc outputs using din to scart, so i can go that route

But wondering about this monitor.bitd be nice to have them both work together as intended. But this i think will be a fun wee project fornthe next few months
