Re: NitrOS9 V3.3.0 for DragonDos and Drivewire

Hi Pere, Not sure what you mean by: The only 'con' is that this disk was not thought to work extensively with it and so, it works in text mode ... I didn't bother enabling the 51 column display mode for this build because it didn't seem that important when my primary aim was to just copy disks and t...

Dragon 32 mainboard

I have unearthered a spare D32 main board which has been hiding in a box in my loft. Can't guarantee it fully works but if anyone wants it (even for spares), all I'm after is enough to cover postage and it's yours. This doesn't include the regulator/TV modulator board however I do have a couple of t...

Not hassling anyone or anything because we're all busy b...

Re: DWEEBS - applications for DWLOAD - DriveWire

Did I ever point you at my networking page?:

http://www.onastick.clara.co.uk/netwrks.htm

reason being is I re-implemented a lot of these commands to run over a network style connection (the assembler sources are there) & may be some useful for reference material.

Re: DWEEBS - applications for DWLOAD - DriveWire

Hi Pere,

*Finally* got round to trying this out on my newly re-assembled D64, all seems to work ok on my 40T/DS disks now so thanks for your efforts.

Re: gcc-6809 and such like

Ah, well as I though then, it's not that causing the problem. The heap management code is way to complex to debug at the assembler level so maybe onto a hiding to nothing with this exercise. Have a feeling it's built with "O2" level optimisation so may try removing that, see if it makes a difference.

Re: gcc-6809 and such like

Still struggling to understand what the actual bug is though - my simple bit of code: static long int val ; int main ( int argc, char *argv[] ) { long int i = 2 ; val = (1 << i) ; .. doesn't generate a call to _ashlhi3, the assembly code looks to be doing it in line. However newlib does have some ca...
