@Shagwana: 40mbytes of memory, thats heee-yow jj amount of memory for a Miggy, I thought I was doing well with a whole 10MBytes... I do wonder if my graphs would plot faster with more memory...., nah probobaly woulda needed something like your 68030. The bike graph you see would take maybe 3-4 seconds to plot such a graph. Still bloody impressive in my book when you consider the specification of the hardware. All due credit to BRL in the Miggy days for producing such capable home brew software.
Having a whole in the table for a fan to blow air on the processor brought a smile to my chops....
@Grey, go on, fire up your machine and post a snapshot of your fave arcade production.
@D4NM4N, youch, you have my sympathy. I'm sure I've still got 3 1/4" disks with my Miggy software on, but I think I should consider backing up my Miggy Stuff. I wonder if I could back up stuff over a terminal session to a windows box to back stuff up.
You'll notice these guys ( http://perg.phys.ksu.edu/papers/bike/usingaudiotape.pdf ) had their hands tied by using bespoke software that had pre determined sample rates of 50, 100 and 200 Hz. I had the joy of messing with my sample rates, drop out algorithim compensation routines to the nth degree. I found that finding the right volume on the tape player had a bearing on how my home made schmitt trigger switched the joystick port on/off. Bit like getting the right volume on a tape player for a Spectrum 48K.....
