From now on I will inform you about important site updates every time.
this section. Comments are welcome.
Today's news is:
=============================================
August 4, 2005.
New on the site:
A new version of the utility package for xBIOS has been released - XUTILITIES
v1.12, old version v1.01 removed. The most important novelty of this
package - a new version of the TRDEXE.COM utility, which implements
interactive mode, return from vTR-DOS by resident, as well as
other functions. Read more about all the innovations in the package
in the attached description.
From other updates:
How useful it can be to sit down with an assembler! Only
thanks to direct practice, it was possible to identify inaccuracies in
description of ATM memory configuration in CP/M mode (roaming
docks since the time of MicroART) in the book "TURBO2+. Internal
architecture and external devices", as well as inaccuracies in the description
functioning of the resident in the book "xBIOS: Description of firmware
eXtra BIOS v1.32". All documentation has been corrected and uploaded to the website
at the same addresses.
More information:
Lately people have been asking me when we will finally
will we see operating systems for ATM - iS-DOS Chic and TASiS? Yes and
do they exist in nature?I answer - they exist in nature, moreover, they stand on my
screw (currently there are four operating systems - CP/M, TASiS, iS-DOS
Chic, iS-DOS Classic. Each one is worth the other). In one of the nearest
updates I plan to post screenshots of TASiS. The cores of these two
systems are almost complete, although microscopic changes
are still possible. Formation is now in full swing
distribution, debugging, improvement and acceleration of drivers,
Documentation and new utilities are being written (primarily for xBIOS).
I’m also mastering some of the system’s features myself - first
just install it on a disk and a screw. It would be stupid to post
a system that you yourself don’t fully understand? Until then I'm still not
master until the formation of a full-fledged
distribution kit (and not just a half-baked FDI image) and is not written
minimal documentation (at least for installation on a screw and for
basics of OS configuration), people will not see the system. Works
scheduled to be completed in late September/early October. In the meantime
wait!
