DOS 2 memory management...
ppl. Here's the story... SCC-Blaffer NT does not support DOS2. d-fader has no docs whatsoever using DOS2. So he has a question... Well... Here it is... Bank 0..7 are filled with data Blaffer needs. Now is my question: Can I still use these banks while DOS2 stores itselfs in bank 8 en 9 (when having 128K)?? And can someone give me good docs about DOS2 memory management, with a few examples if possible?? thanks... mzl. d.fader.twz. --- Get free personalized email at http://www.iname.com MSX Mailinglist.

Re: DOS 2 memory management...
Have you checked the docs mentioned in the DOS2-section of the FAQ? He's right. Those docs are the official ones of ASCII describing all you need. Look in the Application Manual, section 4 or so (if I'm not mistaking). Ah, well, just check the index. Those docs are all I have about Dos2, and I have to say, they are sufficient. Great job ASCII!!! If you really, really, really want it, I can send you some example of Dos2 managementroutines if you'd like to... But I'll have to run upstairs for them, find, select, save, copy, copy, paste, post them, so please save me the trouble and say the Dos2 docs are sufficient or else try to find the Dos2 memroutines in some other source. To answer your question: Bank 0..7 are filled with data Blaffer needs. Now is my question: Can I still use these banks while DOS2 stores itselfs in bank 8 en 9 (when having 128K)?? Yes, you can use them. Dos2 always stores itself in the upper 2 segments of the primary (=currently selected) mapper. But beware!!! USE THE DOS2 MEMORY-MANAGEMENT ROUTINES!!! Otherwise it will not work. Maybe on your system (with no TSR or other programs running), but not on other systems with, for example, a disk-cache program like LUNA installed. ~Grauw -- email me: [EMAIL PROTECTED] or ICQ: 10196372 visit the Datax homepage at http://datax.cjb.net/ MSX fair Bussum / MSX Marathon homepage: http://msxfair.cjb.net/ MSX Mailinglist.
