MTXPlus+ Credits

MTXPlus+ would likely never have seen the light of day, at least, not in the current timeframe, and would certainly not have included many of its enhanced features without significant contributions from others. This page is intended to give an "honourable mention" to the people who have helped along the way.

 

Name Major Contribution Details
Lez Anderson Sourcing and donating parts Lez has donated large quantities of components to members of the MTX Forum. Lez's offer of free components played a large part in spurring me into action on MTXPlus+. Lez has continued to support the project as it developed, supplying additional parts and much encouragement along the way.
     
Martin Allcorn MTXPlus+ Support ROM
MTX ROM Patches
Diagnostic ROMs
Compact Flash interface
80 Column BASIC
6502 Co-processor
Martin coming on board meant that the pace of MTXPlus+ development was much quicker than it would otherwise have been. Having an ongoing dialogue with Martin kept me focused on the hardware design, but without Martin's software skills, many of the enhancements to the system would have been a long time coming!

Martin also designed MAGROM and the CFX interface for the original MTX computer. Building and selling a few of these has helped offset some of my costs for getting PCBs made for MTXPlus+. One would not have happened without the other!
     
Tony Brewer Speculator+
CPLD & ROM "tweaks"
Z80 Expertise
Back in the day, Tony did a lot of work for Memotech, including designing the SDX disk drive & software, as well as developing Speculator.

Tony's assistance has been invaluable, not only in adding Speculator+ functionality to MTXPlus+, but also optimisng (OK, rewriting!) most of the glue logic in the CPLD, particularly to improve the clock division functions.
     
Andy Key MTX ROM patches
Memory Card access
Despite him not necessarily being a conscious participant to the project, MTXPlus+ draws on some of the great work that Andy has done for his Memotech related projects such as MEMU and REMEMOrizer, as well as code that he wrote "back in the day" for Memotech.

Andy makes all of his source code and hardware designs freely available on his website
