Newsflash, Rodrik Studio is presenting the PicoCPC which was made with the help of FreddyV (PicoMEM's author) who announced it on Twitter.

The PicoCPC features :

  • ROM, so can change a 464/664 in a 6128
  • RAM, all mode except the mode C3 (important for at least CP/M+ and Fuzix) at the moment)
  • keyboard remapping to EN/FR/ES
  • Floppy disk Controleur (only work with 464 and 464+
  • MEA8000 emulation used in the Technimusique vocal synthetizer (french product)
  • Reset bouton

This PicoCPC is using the Raspberry Pico 2, so it could be possible to get more features in the future, like we can see what can be done with the Pico 1 used in the PicoMEM card with a PC XT. The sound of a Gravis Ultra Sound on an Amstrad CPC o.O ?

SymbOS C compiler v1.1 for windows by Prevtenet

-

I missed the initial release of SCC (SymbOS C Compiler) in September 2024 by Prevtenet. The version v1.1 just got out today. It's a C compiler, a fork of Alan Cox's brilliant Fuzix Compiler Kit reworked into a complete development toolchain for SymbOS. Currently SCC runs on Windows and cross-compiles binaries for SymbOS, but can also cross-compile itself to run natively (albeit slowly) on SymbOS itself.

You can download SCC v1.1 on Github.
