November 24, 2008
Phoenix,
AZ – Tervelox, Inc. completes
enough 74xx parts to interface to tape drives to extract archived files. These files encompase the technology provided
by STReblevision and Quiautosoft obtained assets and proved the cross compatability
among the companies successful business plan.
It shows that working with current technology, with old technology that
there is an opportunity to move old technology forward and maintain it for the
future. It takes a collaborative effort
among everybody of all ages of technology to provide this effort.
The use of the Free Model Foundry VHDL designs was a strong
help into making this technology succesfull.
Those models where used to produce Verilog models used in current FPGAs
to interface old tape drives to current USBs.
Now files have been generated from tape that are being displayed on the http://www.breakstreetgames.com website,
which have not been available for over a decade.
The team tested them on various platforms that included
windows XP and Vista. The 16-bit applications provided that they
still worked on Vista and that the embedded descriptions and icons were
finalized on XP, but did not transfer to Vista. The applications still ran on Vista successfully.
With the exception of the 16-bit GUI interface code, the ANSI protion
still ran successfully on all other operating systems.
