Add 11 items to mz2000_flop, 8 working, 2 partially working, 1 not working.

These are existing disk images from https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fo/sxfhjwvpvi5c1nz4lazcc/ABaWp8TGtqwohP4JgrlDHgA?rlkey=1f173gm8qugys7jqxeal9bvx1&e=2&dl=0.

These were not working but fixed using MZDiskExplorer.

Additions include:

  • 5 compilations of mostly Carry Lab games.
  • 2 disks of individual games, Miranda and Uootoy.
  • A compilation with a mix of BASIC versions and games.
  • A disk based version of MZ-1Z001 BASIC (not MZ-2Z001 disk BASIC).
  • A data disk of MZ-1Z002 samples which is not working (or at least unable to test it is) as it requires disk BASIC (presumably MZ-2Z002).

Yes, this version supports colour displays, so I also amended amatennis in mz2000_cass to flag compatability is for mono screens only as part of PR 14512.

Updated to partial. Also done the same with the standalone MZ-1Z001 BASIC disk.

These two seems part of the same set. Also 2023?

They are different at least insofar as information on screen differs (although unclear what, if any functional differences there are).

The version on it's own disk shows:

BASIC interpreter MZ-1Z001 DISK
Copyright 2023 by SHARP Corp.

The version on the compilation disk shows:

BASIC interpreter MZ-1Z001 V1.0D
Copyright 1982 by SHARP Corp.

Both appear to be clones of MZ-1Z001 BASIC in mz2000_cass, but I presume I can't show the standalone disk as a clone of an item in a different software list?

Do they respond to a FILES inquiry?

Neither does. As far as I can see they are cassette BASIC on disk (I think disk BASIC would be MZ-2Z001). I'm updating the compilation disk to show partial support anyway per above comment, think it may be sensible to do the same with the standalone disk.

Amend supported status for 2 items to partial.
