Another change of pace, this time the Amstrad PCW series, systems designed for professional word-processing. Anyway, first job was to replace the boot code on the “ROM” with something that actually worked. Now with the boot code, more or less, being what is expected to be the result of the bootstrap process, it can actually now boot a disk. With a couple of fixes to interrupt handling, it can now do something useful, like boot CP/M.
Or use Logo, which was used back in the day to teach programming skills in primary school. On a C64, at that. This got me digging out my tattered old CPC6128 manual, looking up Logo commands (it's been awhile) since the PCW version seems very similar to the CPC version. Ahhh, the memories.
