Tatung Computer Forum

If you go here https://www.tatungbytes.co.uk/mame-package and download the MAME emulator with Silicon Disc support you should be able to compile by putting the files on Silicon Disc as it won’t be write protected. Not sure how you will get the results from the Silicon Disc onto permanent storage ...

The reason is that mame does not support Einstein disk write operations. Or, that is what the old excuse used to be. I haven't updated my mame for a while, but suspect it's stills the same issue.


My understanding is that MAME doesn’t support writing to discs because it will lead to the ROMs ...

Good spot!

Better than this auction!


Sold as working but I messaged the seller and it is untested. All they have done is to plug it in and check the light comes on…

Merry Christmas to all! May Santa have brought you something Tatung related!

Very rarely! Occasionally they come up on eBay but thats about it.

The original maker no longer makes them (or the ZXpand etc.).

Not a bad price these days!

Anyone on here get this?

I did find a CPC manual:

I can see a disc image here (http://www.tatungeinstein.co.uk/front/imagefiles.htm) but no manual.

Does anyone have this archived?


Given that the seller has some working discs for sale I can only assume the ‘sold as seen’ untested disc doesn't actually work?
