Ma ke ʻano he huakaʻi e hoʻi mai ana mai kahi hoʻomoana hacker ma ka ʻāina nui, ma muli o ka maʻi maʻi, ua koi ke aupuni Pelekane iaʻu e hoʻopaʻa ʻia no ʻelua pule.Ua hana au ma ke ʻano he malihini na Claire.ʻO Claire koʻu hoaaloha a ʻo ia ke kumu o ka ʻike.He 8-bit Sinclair lako lako a me ka mea lawe lako polokalamu.ʻOiai e kamaʻilio ana e pili ana iā Microdrive, ʻaʻole wale ʻo ia i kūʻai i kekahi mau hiʻohiʻona o nā drive a me nā polokalamu, akā ʻo ka ʻōnaehana interface a me ka pahu Microdrive pahu pahu mua.Hāʻawi kēia iaʻu i ka manawa e nānā a wehe i ka ʻōnaehana a hāʻawi i ka poʻe heluhelu i nā ʻike hoihoi i kēia hāmeʻa peripheral maʻamau.
E lawe i ka Microdrive.He ʻāpana ia ma kahi o 80 mm x 90 mm x 50 mm a ʻoi aku ke kaumaha ma mua o 200 grams.E hahai ana ia i ka like me ka Rich Dickinson styling cues e like me ke kī kila kumu Spectrum.Aia ma ke alo he wehe ʻana ma kahi o 32 mm x 7 mm no ka hoʻokomo ʻana i nā pahu pahu lipine Microdrive, a ma kēlā me kēia ʻaoʻao o ke kua he 14-ala PCB mea hoʻohui no ka hoʻopili ʻana iā Spectrum a me ka daisy-chaining ma o kahi kaʻa kaʻa maʻamau. hāʻawi i nā kaula lipine a me nā mea hoʻohui.Hiki ke hoʻohui ʻia a hiki i ʻewalu drive ma kēia ʻano.
Ma ke ʻano o nā kumukūʻai i ka makahiki 1980, he mīkini maikaʻi loa ʻo Spectrum, akā ʻo ke kumu kūʻai o kāna hoʻokō ʻana ʻo ia ka uku liʻiliʻi loa no ka ʻenehana paʻa i kūkulu ʻia ma mua o kāna mau awa wikiō a me ka cassette tape.Aia ma hope he mea hoʻohui lihi, e hōʻike maoli ana i nā kaʻa kaʻa like ʻole o ka Z80, e waiho ana i nā pilina hou aʻe e pili ana ma o ka module expansion.Hiki i ka mea nona ka Spectrum maʻamau ke loaʻa iā Kempston joystick adapter ma kēia ala, ʻo ia ka laʻana ʻoi loa.ʻAʻole paʻa ʻia ka Spectrum me kahi mea hoʻohui Microdrive, no laila aia ʻo Microdrive i kāna kikowaena ponoʻī.ʻO Sinclair ZX Interface 1 he ʻano ʻano ʻāpana e hui pū me ka mea hoʻohui lihi ma ka Spectrum a wili ʻia i lalo o ke kamepiula.Hāʻawi ia i kahi interface Microdrive, kahi port serial RS-232, kahi mea hoʻohui LAN maʻalahi me ka hoʻohana ʻana i kahi jack 3.5 mm, a me Replica o Sinclair edge connector me nā mea hou aku i hoʻokomo ʻia.Aia i loko o kēia interface kahi ROM e paʻi ana iā ia iho i ka ROM kūloko o Spectrum, e like me kā mākou i kuhikuhi ai i ka wā i ʻike ʻia ai ka prototype Spectrum ma Cambridge Computing History Center, e like me kā mākou e ʻike nei, ʻaʻole i hoʻopau ʻia a ʻaʻole i hoʻokō ʻia kekahi o kāna mau hana i manaʻo ʻia.
He mea hoihoi ia e kamaʻilio e pili ana i ka ʻenehana, akā ʻoiaʻiʻo, ʻo Hackaday kēia.ʻAʻole wale ʻoe makemake e ʻike, makemake ʻoe e ʻike pehea e hana ai.ʻO ka manawa kēia e wehe ai, e wehe mua mākou i ka ʻāpana Microdrive ponoʻī.E like me Spectrum, ua uhi ʻia ka piko o ka hāmeʻa e kahi pā alumini ʻeleʻele me ka hōʻailona Spectrum hōʻailona, pono e hoʻokaʻawale pono ʻia mai ke koena ikaika o ka 1980s adhesive e hōʻike i nā hihia ʻelua e hoʻopaʻa i ka ʻaoʻao o luna.E like me Spectrum, paʻakikī ke hana i kēia me ka ʻole o ke kulou ʻana i ka alumini, no laila pono kekahi mau mākau.

E hoʻomaka ana i ka makahiki 2020, e nānā i hope i kēia ʻenehana computing poina a nānā i kahi honua kahi i hoʻouka ʻia ai kahi waihona mālama 100 kB ma kahi o 8 kekona ma kahi o kekahi mau minuke o ka hoʻouka ʻana i ka lipine.He aha ka mea huikau ia Interface 1 'aʻole i loko o ka mea paʻi paʻi 'okoʻa, no ka mea, e nana ana i ka piha Spectrum nenoaiu, aole paakiki e ike i ka mea, ua lilo i ka lako hale keʻena productivity kamepiula i keia la, me ka papa o kona kumukuai.Ke kūʻai aku nei ʻo Sinclair i kā lākou mau mīkini paʻi wela, akā ʻaʻole hiki i ka poʻe hoihoi Sinclair i hoʻopaʻa ʻia i ka hōkū ʻaʻole hiki ke kapa i ka paʻi ZX he mea paʻi hou.
ʻO ka ʻoiaʻiʻo, e like me Sinclairs a pau, ʻo ia ka mea i hōʻemi ʻia i ka hōʻemi koʻikoʻi o Sir Clive a me ka hiki ke hana i ka naʻauao hiki ʻole mai nā mea i manaʻo ʻole ʻia.Ua hoʻomohala ʻia ʻo Microdrive i loko o ka hale e Sinclair, akā liʻiliʻi paha ia, hiki ʻole ke hilinaʻi ʻia, a lohi loa.ʻO ka Apple Macintosh mua i hoʻolako ʻia me kahi floppy drive i puka mai i ka makahiki 1984 ma ke ʻano he huahana o ZX Microdrive.ʻOiai ua komo kēia mau lipine liʻiliʻi i loko o ka mīkini 16-bit ʻino QL o Sinclair, ua lilo ia i mea kūʻai ʻole.I ko lākou kūʻai ʻana aku i nā waiwai o Sinclair, e hoʻomaka ʻo Amstrad i ka Spectrum me kahi floppy disk 3-inihi, akā i kēlā manawa ua kūʻai ʻia nā microcomputers Sinclair ma ke ʻano he ʻoliʻoli pāʻani.He mea hoihoi kēia wehe ʻana, akā ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi o ka haʻalele me nā hoʻomanaʻo hauʻoli o 1984.
Mahalo nui wau iā Claire no ka hoʻohana ʻana i ka ʻenehana ma aneʻi.Inā ʻoe e noʻonoʻo nei, ʻo ke kiʻi ma luna e hōʻike ana i nā ʻāpana like ʻole, me nā ʻāpana hana a me nā mea hana ʻole, ʻoi aku ka nui o ka ʻāpana Microdrive i hoʻopau ʻia he ʻāpana hemahema.ʻAʻole mākou makemake e hoʻopōʻino i ka lako kamepiula hoʻohuli me ka pono ʻole ma Hackaday.
Ua hoʻohana au iā Sinclair QL no ʻehiku mau makahiki, a pono wau e ʻōlelo ʻaʻole palupalu kā lākou microdrives e like me ka ʻōlelo a ka poʻe.Hoʻohana pinepine au iā lākou no nā haʻawina home kula, a me nā mea ʻē aʻe, a ʻaʻole e poina i kekahi palapala.Akā aia kekahi mau mea "hou" i ʻoi aku ka hilinaʻi ma mua o nā mea mua.
E pili ana i ka Interface I, he mea ʻē loa i ka hoʻolālā uila.ʻO ke awa serial he mea hoʻopili pae wale nō, a ua hoʻokō ʻia ka protocol RS-232 e ka polokalamu.Hoʻopilikia kēia i ka loaʻa ʻana o ka ʻikepili, no ka mea, ʻo ka mīkini wale nō ka manawa no ka bit stop e hana i nā mea e pono ai ke hana me ka ʻikepili.
Eia kekahi, he mea hoihoi ka heluhelu ʻana mai ka lipine: loaʻa iā ʻoe kahi awa IO, akā inā heluhelu ʻoe mai ia mea, e hoʻōki au i ke kaʻina hana a hiki i ka heluhelu ʻana i kahi byte piha mai ka lipine (ʻo ia hoʻi inā e poina ʻoe E hoʻohuli i ka mīkini tape. a e kau ana ke kamepiula).Hāʻawi kēia i ka hoʻonohonoho maʻalahi o ka kaʻina hana a me ka lipine, pono ia ma muli o ke komo ʻana i ka lua o ka pahu hoʻomanaʻo 16K (ʻo ka mua he ROM, ʻo ke kolu a me ka ʻehā ka hoʻomanaʻo hou ʻana o nā hiʻohiʻona 48K), a ma muli o ka microdrive buffer. i loko o ia wahi, no laila ʻaʻole hiki ke hoʻohana i nā puka lou i hoʻopaʻa ʻia.Inā hoʻohana ʻo Sinclair i kahi ala komo e like me ka mea i hoʻohana ʻia ma Inves Spectrum (e hiki ai i ke kaapuni wikiō a me ke kaʻina hana ke komo i ka RAM wikiō me ka ʻole o ka hoʻopaʻi ʻana, e like me ka [ ma Apple, a laila hiki ke maʻalahi ke kaapuni interface Nui.
Loaʻa i ka Spectrum ka manawa e hiki ai ke hoʻoponopono i nā bytes i loaʻa, inā ʻo ka mea ma ka ʻaoʻao ʻē aʻe e hoʻokō pono i ka mana kahe o ka mīkini (no kekahi (a pau?) motherboard "SuperIO" chip * ʻaʻole * ke kūlana.

Ma kahi o RS232.Loaʻa iaʻu he 115k hoʻoponopono hewa a me 57k hilinaʻi bit bumping me ka ʻole o ka protocol hoʻoponopono hewa.ʻO ka mea huna e hoʻomau i ka ʻae a hiki i 16 bytes ma hope o ka haʻalele ʻana i ka CTS.ʻAʻole i hana ka code ROM mua i kēia, ʻaʻole hiki ke kamaʻilio me ka UART "hou".
Wahi a Wikipedia he 120 kbit/sec.E pili ana i ka protocol kiko'ī, ʻaʻole wau ʻike, akā ʻike wau e hoʻohana ana ia i kahi poʻo leo stereo, a ʻo ka waiho ʻana he "unaligned".ʻAʻole maopopo iaʻu pehea e wehewehe ai ma ka ʻōlelo Pelekania… hoʻomaka nā ʻāpana o kekahi mele ma waena o nā ʻāpana o kekahi mele.
Akā ʻo kahi huli wikiwiki ua loaʻa iaʻu kēia ʻaoʻao, kahi e hoʻopili ai ka mea hoʻohana i ka oscilloscope i ka hōʻailona ʻikepili, a me he mea lā he modulation FM.Akā he QL a ʻaʻole kūpono me Spectrum.
ʻAe, akā e ʻoluʻolu e hoʻomanaʻo i ka loulou e kamaʻilio e pili ana i nā microdrives Sinclair QL: ʻoiai ua like lākou i ke kino, hoʻohana lākou i nā ʻano like ʻole, no laila ʻaʻole hiki iā QL ke heluhelu i nā lipine format Spectrum, a me ka hope.
Bit aligned.Hoʻopili ʻia nā bytes ma waena o ka track 1 a me ka track 2.He fm maʻamau i loaʻa ma nā kāleka hōʻaiʻē.Hoʻopili hou ka interface i nā bytes i ka lako, a heluhelu wale ke kamepiula i nā bytes.ʻO ka helu ʻikepili kumu he 80kbps no kēlā me kēia mele a i ʻole 160kbps no nā mea ʻelua.Ua like ka hana me ka floppy disks o ia au.
ʻAʻole maopopo iaʻu, akā ua nui nā ʻatikala e pili ana i ka hoʻopaʻa hoʻopaʻa ʻana i kēlā manawa.No ka hoʻohana ʻana i kahi mea hoʻopaʻa cassette i loaʻa, pono nā leo leo.Akā inā hoʻololi ʻoe i kahi poʻo lipine komo pololei, hiki iā ʻoe ke hānai pololei iā lākou me ka mana DC a hoʻopili pololei i kahi hoʻoiho Schmitt no ka pāʻani.No laila, hānai wale ia i ka hōʻailona serial o ke poʻo lipine.Hiki iā ʻoe ke loaʻa ka wikiwiki wikiwiki me ka hopohopo ʻole i ka pae pāʻani.

Loaʻa iaʻu kahi QL me 2 micro-drives, he ʻoiaʻiʻo, ʻoi aku ka liʻiliʻi o QL ma mua o ka ʻōlelo a ka poʻe.Loaʻa iaʻu kahi ZX Spectrum, akā ʻaʻohe microdrives (ʻoiai makemake wau iā lākou).ʻO ka mea hou loa i loaʻa iaʻu ʻo ka hana ʻana i kahi hoʻomohala cross-development.Hoʻohana au i ka QL ma ke ʻano he mea hoʻoponopono kikokikona a hoʻololi i nā faila i ka Spectrum nāna e hōʻuluʻulu i nā faila ma o ka serial (Ke kākau nei au i kahi mea hoʻokele paʻi no ka papahana ZX Spectrum PCB Designer, e hoʻomaikaʻi a hoʻokomo i nā pika i kahi hoʻonā o 216ppi i ʻole e holo ka track. ʻike ʻia ka ʻāʻī).
