ZX81 / TS1000 Emulator is a ZX81 emulator for VGA PCs running Linux.z81 is a Sinclair ZX81 (also known as the Timex TS1000) emulator. Ituses svgalib. It supports most programs and games, with the bigexceptions being games using interrupt handlers. It supports thepseudo-hi-res mode. It saves and loads programs in Xtender's .Pformat, but should be able to load the Atari emulator's .81 formatfiles. (It works on the ones I've tried, but I haven't tried many.)xz81 is a version of z81 for X. A few fairly trivial features aremissing (like the help screen), but aside from that it's all there.This version should work on non-Linux systems, though it needs somefeatures like setitimer() and sigaction() which will presumably beabsent on some machines/OSes. xz81 is only known to work on 1-bit and8-bit displays, and very probably won't work on others. But overall,if xz80 works, xz81 probably will. Sorry about the name, which iseasily confused with `xz80', but given the original being called Z81,I couldn't do too much about this.z81txt is a text-mode version. It still requires raw keyboard modeand writes to the screen `directly' using /dev/vcsa0, so it will onlyrun on a Linux console. But, it'll run on all Linux PCs - those withMDA/Herc/CGA/EGA display cards, as well as VGA ones, though obviouslyz81 is preferable if you have VGA. :-) (This is installed setuid root,as non-root users usually can't write to /dev/vcsa0. Don't worry aboutthis unduly - it throws away root privs straight after the open(),which is the first thing it does. Think of it as working like atext-mode svgalib (if that makes
