The most glitch-free version of Melon is Melon_v1.80+, which is also the latest, the author's one. Unconfigured Melon must be launched by holding CS+SS (RTFM) and successful launch, you must _immediately_ go to the connection interface setup menu modem to Speck. After exiting to the main terminal window, the modem should already serve signs of life - respond to AT commands. Next - don't forget to do 'Save' Setup'. Turn off Turbo mode while the modem is being recognized. AC> If AC> can anyone share their experience in setting up the subject rubbish or Melon 1.80+ - Rulezzzz!!!!

Hello Anton! 07 Jan 01 01:44, Anton Chaos -> All: AC> Some kind of incomprehensible hemorrhoid with a subject!!! NAM on SMUC/COM2 AC> hangs, and different versions of Melon simply cannot be configured, because AC> hang on startup or when exiting the main menu. If AC> can anyone share their experience in setting up the subject rubbish or AC> drop the configured config to Melon (Scorp256turbo,SMUC/COM2, AC> 512*192 no) I will be extremely grateful!!! What version of SMUC? In the old ones (before 1.2) one bit is mixed up. Look, here's a piece of documentation: ······------====== Monitor glass cutter ======------······ ┌───────┬───────────────────── ─┬───────────────────────────┐ │ #FFBA │ IN │ OUT │ ├───────┼───────────────────── ─┼───────────────────────────┤ │ 0 │ -- │ reset HDD and ISA slots │ │ 1 │ -- │ A7 ISA slot │ │ 2 │ -- │ A8 ISA slots │ │ 3 │ -- │ INT flag │ │ 4 │ -- │ SDA (out) │ │ 5 │ -- │ Write Protect │ │ 6 │ SDA (in) │ SCL ││ 7 │ ?? │ Register switching │ │ │ │ set of HDD and CMOS. │ └───────┴───────────────────── ─┴───────────────────────────┘ bit 0 - for hardware reset of the screw and hardware in the ISA slot this the bit needs to be set to 0, hold on for a dozen interrupts, and again install. bit 1 - A7 ISA slot bit 2 - A8 ISA slot bit 3 - when this bit is 1, the 8259 interrupt is enabled. Otherwise it just doesn't reach the Z80. bit 4 - Serial Data/Adress written to NVRAM. bit 5 - when this bit is 1, NVRAM ignores all write attempts into her. bit 6 - when reading -- Serial Data from NVRAM. When recording -- Serial Clock is for her. bit 7 - this bit, when set to 1, enables the Control block registers on the HDD and allows writing to CMOS. Apparently at the guy's Zonov lacked Altera's legs, which is not surprising. The trick is that there is a bug on the controller board - bit 2 of this port nothing is supplied at all, but bit 3 performs two functions at once, one of which are not his at all. Treat like this: ······------====== Monitor glass cutter ======------······ Attention! An error was made on SMUC controllers version 1.1 and lower; affecting work with the HDD. Bit A8 of the IBM slot address bus was not controlled digit D2, and digit D3. If you have a controller version 1.1 and lower, then youwe need to modify it ourselves (correcting our mistake). For To do this, it is necessary to cut the conductor going to pin 6 of the 1533TM9 chip, and connect pin 6 of TM9 to pin 9 of the socket for i8259A using a short jumpers. In addition, it is advisable to change the firmware version of the ALTERA chip 7032. The firmware version can be replaced by the Scorpion company free of charge. ······------====== Monitor glass cutter ======------······ AC> P.S. Is there anything at all besides Melon, NAM, S-term? Milun promises to finish the S-mailer, but slows down. Under the isdos there is a soaper and a pack of terminals. There are a couple more terminals for trdos, but they are for uncommon schemes and on others are not configurable. WBR, Jason. [Team Obituary][Team Friday 13th][Team Evil Maniacs][Team Huge Axes]
