- I extended the 6-char 7-segment LED display to 16 characters
- I introduced Intel's 8279 Programmable Keyboard/Display Interface
- The first PIONEER game is available: Haunted House text adventure
- Alphanumericals ("0"-"9", "A"-"Z") and punctuation symbols are available now
- I moved to rasm assembler because of support for undocumented instructions
- I provide binary ROM and Intel hex format images
A few comments:
- Intel's 8279 PKDI device is used to access the 20-key keyboard and the 16-character display
- Haunted House is Robert Arnstein's text adventure published in 1979 for the TRS-80
- It's impossible to obtain a unique, unambiguous representation of all letters of the Latin alphabet with a 7-segment code but the correct interpretation results from the context
- PIONEER R1 is a Haunted House-only release
A detailed description of all changes will follow soon.
