Didn't MSX2+ standardize the VDP port direct access?

Nope, that started with MSX2 already...

Slot expanders are available. Sunrise still sells them www.msx.ch, maybe
they will ship internationally.

VDP addresse are fxed too for TurboR. It is in the official ASCII
documentation.
I only have heard of nonstandard vdp addresses with brazilian msx2 updates
for MSX1?

So for 99.99% of msx'es in use (including emulators!) the vdp addresses are
fixed?

It was on Turbo-R. But for MSX2 and 2+ it IS indeed standard. Just read
main ROM adrresses 5 and 6 to know which ports are used to VDP access
(although I had never seen any MSX using other than #98 onwards).

Re: Uzix installation on Novaxis SCSI

2001-05-25 Thread Adriano Camargo Rodrigues da Cunha


Hi,

 We (Manuel Bilderbeek  Eric Boon) are trying to install Uzix
 on a ZIP disk using the Novaxis SCSI interface.
 partition selection command: 'echo hello' -- We don't need a command
 to select the partition. Entering nothing gave an error :-/

Thanks for this. I'll fix the installation program...

 But, when the installation program started to make directories and
 wanted to install all the programs on them, we got errors like this:
 cd /etc
 failure exit

When something goes wrong during installation an error message is
displayed on screen. Can you tell me what error message was displayed? It can
help us a lot to discover what's happening.

 The, back in the installation script, A: on partition 1 was selected as
 boot partition (obviously), UZLO installed and ran ok, but reported
 'partition is not UZIX' (or similar).

I'll check UZLO installer... I think there is an error there...

 2nd try:
 Looked pretty much the same but UZLO hangs after showing
 'Loading uzix'
 Advanced settings were let alone: none of the option were selected.

Try selecting the following options:
- Force stopdrive workaround
- Disable stopdrive countdown

 fsck did not reveal any failures though ! ??

It's not an error on filesystem. It's an error on the kernel. The kernel
didn't boot yet.

 We guess that UZIX doesn't handle any Novaxis' partitioning scheme
 well enough...

As I said, we need more 'fine tunning' to get UZIX running on a Novaxis.
Remember: I don't have a Novaxis (neither my friends). If you both, boys, have
patience, we will succeed in this challenge.

Nestor,

 UZIX? 8-)

I will, I will. Just give some time... You know that documentation is
the worst
part in a project...
As an workaround, you can do the following:
- write an ANSI C program for Linux. Have in mind you're using a VT52
terminal when playing with ESC codes. Try to fit the program below 32k.
Don't declare too big local vars (declare them as static). Doing this
your program can be compiled for UZIX with a chance of 99,99%. Send it
to me and I'll do it.
- if you want to write a network application for UZIX (irc client, wget
clone, offline mail reader, etc), contact me. I wrote a wrapper for
Linux/SunOS for UZIX TCP/IP stack. Now you can write your application
using UZIX TCP/IP calls, compile and test it under Linux/SunOS. Send it
to me and I'll compile it for UZIX.

Adriano

turboR DRAM mode DOS2

2001-05-25 Thread Patriek Lesparre

Hi all,

me again with another DOS2 problem.

On turboR an extra 64kB memory is used by the system. I guess this is the 
DRAM mode memory.

Now I have these questions:
1. Do the DOS2 system segments reside before or after the DRAM memory?
2. Is there any way to free this 64kB? I have tried switching to R800 ROM 
or Z80 mode and rebooting DOS2 (BASIC then CALL SYSTEM), but that does not 
work.

Thanks,

Patriek
