Compusense EDIT+ cartridge v2.0.1 (modified)

Post by zephyr »

This is a copy of the Compusense EDIT+ cartridge v2.0.1 that I have modified to make it compatible with all Dragon 32/64 emulators. It will still operate correctly on a real Dragon 32 or 64. The modified cartridge now also sets the EXEC vector at startup so it will jump to the FC ERROR? routine ($8B8D) if EXEC is entered accidentally when using it on a Dragon 64. This greatly helps to prevent accidental activation of 64K mode on the Dragon 64.

EDIT: File attachment deleted due to the release of a bugfix version on the 11th of January.

Updated bugfix release. My previous modified version does not set the reset vector which will result in the computer doing a full cold start (like powering the computer off and on again) if the reset button is pressed.

Out of interest, what problem did emulators have with it?

On the older emulators (e.g. PC-Dragon, T3, etc) the cartridge init code failed to return to the correct address ($B43E) after the RTI due to the FIRQ not being correctly emulated.
