This breakthrough feature opens doors to exploring diverse realms of vintage computing and effortlessly managing intriguing disk formats. Alien Disk Format Support: With expanded drive P support, Genie IIIs with Holte CP/M+ can now access and interact with a wide range of alien disk formats.The culmination of my efforts, FOREIGN.COM Version 2.0, now extends its capabilities to real Genie IIIs hardware, allowing us to relive the nostalgia and magic of legacy computing.Īgain, it's 2023 but FOREIGN.COM Version 2.0 empowers users to delve into the captivating world of legacy computing by offering a range of key features and enhancements: In this latest version, FOREIGN.COM has evolved to include various alias formats for reading and writing virtual disks in DMK format for emulator sdltrs via virtual drive P. This utility program, born out of my desire to reconnect with the past, sets the virtual drive P: to alien disk formats on Genie IIIs with Holte CP/M+. Today, I am thrilled to announce the release of FOREIGN.COM Version 2.0, a testament to our enduring fascination with legacy computer systems. 2.0' - my first Z80 assembler code after 30 years. Nevertheless, I took on the challenge and successfully refurbished that very tool - introducing ' ver. It felt like only God and I knew what the code was doing back then, but today, it seemed as if only God had the answer. The Genie IIIs, renowned for its compatibility with Tandy's TRS-80 systems and its high-resolution graphics, was powered by a lightning-fast Z80 processor, making it one of the fastest CP/M computers ever produced. Intrigued by their interest, I decided to embark on a journey to revisit the code and try to resurrect the memories of my early days as a programmer. Although I couldn't remember every detail, one of the tools I had created for the TCS Trommeschläger Genie IIIs, a remarkable legacy computer system manufactured in Germany, had captured the attention of the community. A while ago, I was approached by a group of vintage computer enthusiasts whom I know from my time as a member of German "Computer Club 80" who asked if I could recall the code (Hitech C Compiler, Z80 Assembler) I had written in the late 80s to mid-90s.
