So is it making direct calls to the ROM? or calling through the indirect table at the beginning? If the former, then it's probably going to fall over even with the updated firmware. Yes, it is making calls to internall DOS subroutines, some of them being patched in RAM to avoid that any error ends ...

As for The Hobbit, how tied is it to Dragondos, i.e. could it just use files directly on the DaronMMC card?Phill. Hi Phill, in fact the Hobbit calls the some DOS functions, so it is heavily tied to the DOS If I remember correct, it supports DDos1.x (Dragon Data), DDOS4.x (Eurohard) and DosPlus (S3)...

It also helped avoid spurious "?NE ERROR"s. Though the current version of DragonDOS on the DragonMMC uses a patched and bugfixed versi...

So I have ordered the CPU along with the PIA and IC24 connects to PB6 and PB7 so this is also on order just in case. They should arrive this week. IC26 is doubl...

These are all DMK images and according to the specification the maximum track size is 0x2940 but all images are actually 0x2980. MAME doesn't yet support si...

loving this MMC board, have you had chance to look at 360k & 720k VDK disk size support ??

Yeah there is a firmware update in the works, just needs a little more work on it.
