CD_WALK: Nemo controller.
ZXNet echo conference «zxnet.soft»
From Vlad Sotnikov → To All 8 October 2001
Hello All!
Hurray! Today I made a subject. So now the program works with CD-ROMs in
such options:
- Slave on SMUC with open ports.
- Slave on SMUC with closed ports.
- Master on Nemo controller.
- Slave on Nemo controller.
The detection occurs in exactly this sequence, which is explained by the couple
aspects of compatibility of controllers and ports. Nemo controller (optional)
Kirill Frolov - I think it is identical to the standard Nemo controller)
tested on a green Scorpion board. Everything went with a bang.
Attention! The Nemo controller will not work on Scorpion with GMX. It's all about
port #D0, which is used by GMX and which cannot be disabled - another
curvature of Scorpion manufacturers. So use SMUC. Owners of KAY
- use the NEMO controller, and if desired - SMUC, if you can
connect (I haven’t tried it myself). Owners of Scorpion can afford
this hard drive configuration: Primary Master (SMUC) - 1st HDD, Primary Slave (SMUC)
- 2nd HDD, Secondary Master/Slave (Nemo) - CD-ROM. In this case, as a bus
The Primary is SMUC, and the NEMO controller is the Secondary. All the best
offtopic traditions :)
The program version number will be CD_WALK v1.2; the last touch before her
release - the creation of a one-page text viewer (which is almost completed by PashaVasiliev - my co-author). This will allow you to view from the CD not only
the first 64K of text, but the entire file, no matter how large it is. It is possible
for example, write down an entire unpacked text onto a company, for example, “Masters
and Margarita" by Bulgakov, and then read using my program. Convenient
literary library for Spectrumist :)
By the way, I don’t hear any responses about the previous version posted here. U
anyone working? People, the continuation of creation directly depends on you
programs! If you remain silent, it will remain that way...
