ZX DataType is a picture datatype for displaying Sinclair ZX Spectrum
pictures under Amiga OS release 3 or higher.
Why would someone need a picture datatype for Spectrum screens? I don't
know... I just created it for fun. I liked the idea of being able to view
Spectrum pictures with MultiView, or having them inlined in a WWW page.
Kinda neat, don't you think? :-)
ZX DataType recognises several different file formats.
- Raw SCREEN$ image. Length is 6912 bytes.
- SCREEN$ file saved with the ZX Interface 1. Length is 6921 bytes.
- SCREEN$ file in the ZX82 (Amiga Speculator) format. Both compressed and
uncompressed (length is 6924 bytes) are supported.
- SCREEN$ file saved on the +D and ported to the Amiga using ReadPlusD.
Length is 7396 bytes.
