This screen shows the GEM-desktop of a german TOS 1.2.
bITmASTER told me, that using the expansion card he had built, he was able to develop on the Jaguar using the familiar PureC.
June 10, 2000: bITmASTER has implemented a mouse-emulation using joypad 1.
June 25, 2000: bITmASTER has implemented a driver for the LS120
SuperDisk drive.
This drive uses an ATAPI-port, and is capable not only to use it's
own 120 MB-medium but normal 1.44 MB floppy-discs too (unlike the ZIP-drives).
August 9, 2000: Five prototype PCBs have been manufactured. Look
at a picture of an almost complete populated PCB:
On the top edge, between the PS/2-type sockets for the keybord (the
left one) and the mouse (the right one), resides the 40-pin IDE-connector.

You can see the 640*400 monochrome GEM desktop (german TOS 2.06) with the "Open application"-dialog as part of a 640*480 pixel bitmap-object on the VGA-monitor screen. | The small desktop-case from an old Tandon 286 PC contains the LS120
Superdisk-drive and supplies it with power. I'm using my BJL-equipped Jaguar,
so i need the Joypad in Port 0 to enter the BJL-upload-routine, while
the white cable in Port 1 is the BJL-cable. PS/2-type mouse and keyboard are attached, but didn't fit in these pictures. |
