Who is Rom1500 ?

Hello,

I’m 49y old, live in France and owned my PC-1500 + CE-150 in 1982. As i was recently graduated my dad asked me to make a choice : a PC-1500 or driving license ?

Was i crazy to answer PC-1500 ? Today i know i wasn’t. A new world was beginning and i had to live inside. My first basic program was a lunar landing game. It was really nice to learn how to give the perfect structure to the basic code. Never loose any case, write comments…

French magazines were a good help. I remember “L’ordinateur de poche”, “L’ordinateur individuel”, “Le club Sharpentier”, “List”, “Hebdogiciel”… One year later the Basic language was too slow for me. I decided to learn machine language. Uh… it was without the “Technical reference manual” but i had enough informations to do nice job.

In 1984 the army called me and 3 years later the PC-1500 was forgotten. My hobby was now Rock climbing in a nice place to practice : French Alps !

In 2001 i moved to a small town for my new job. Nothing to do in that small town and the PC-1500 goes out of an old box. Good idea because i met some fans like “Rémy Jouvin”, “J-F Laroche”, “C Le Glatin” and “Emmanuel Beaurepaire”. That was very friendly !

At this time i was a Delphi developer and i started to build a disassembler for my needs. It was a nice Beta build… and still unchanged ! Now in 2013 i’m back and starting a dedicated PC-1500 website.

What is the menu ? Follow me…
