Background for the star - label - EPROM from the DS2069 CPU card

Thanks for the careful collection of the data view device of the company Dr. Ing. Ing. Rudolf HELL, Kiel Germany. The company name does not mean in German meaning as in English.
I also made the EPROM with the star label an adaptation for the company, in order to first use the BASF 6108 floppy disk drives with the successor floppy disk drives for PANASONIC JU 455-5. Today I still jut myself 455-5 drives in the DS 2069 or in an Alphatronc P2U.
In MAME / MESS, it would be welcome to implement help for an INT 7.5 (8085), for example, only in the alphatronic P2 / or P2U. The keyboard actually processes in the DS2069,
only via the interrupt 7.5.

Hello,

Back when I first joined I didn't know many things of this system, so I couldn't help in anything. Sorry for that.
There's an error that is actually my fault and has made its way into MAME's source. I do know many languages, but not CPP. Therefore I cannot correct it having the guarantee that I won't break anything in the process.

The ROMs for the "Spanish model" are declared in the wrong place. I do know because I'm the original dumper for "jaumeep.bin", file which was later renamed to "caap_p2_es.bin". And my system is a P2U, not a P2. Sorry for miscommunicating.

I also said "Spanish model" because there has been found the actual Spanish P2, so the region now counts with both models. I could provide the hashes as required. As a bonus, I have the dumps for the Italian P2, so I could also provide those hashes too.

Thank you all the involved,
Jaume

They should have named it the "HELL 9000". ;-)

I remember TA Alphatronic only from early 1980th shopping centers as the most boring homecomputer in the store. The key shape was a bit unusual and vendors claimed that it was only for word processing and no games were made for it. Apparently this was the Alphatronic PC.

Hello people,

I heard the emulation of the DS 2069 is still unfinished since Helmut passed away. I think I can provide a window of opportunity to finish this machine. What are the pending tasks that remain to be done with this computer?
Is there anything else from this family of computers that requires attention?

Please, would anybody from the developers who worked on them willing to continue the work if a source of information was found?

Thank you all,
Jaume

I don't remember it was a while ago that I worked on it. Just try some stuff and see what doesn't work.
