Dickie & Interrupts & Problems

The other day I came across one global problem - setting up Dickie. When A global glitch was discovered in the setup - sometimes magics were reset. The fact is that I have Dickie himself in the Ram 512, and he downloads mail on regular disk. Well, when he threw it onto the disk, an interruption came from modem... but the trdos ROM is turned on!!! The problem was solved with the help of one device - LL1. With her help it was made blocker - if trdos ROM is currently enabled, then interruptions from the modem are ignored, and everything works great. If anyone needs it, I can post a diagram with the microphone numbers for the Pentagon. And from now on you need to disable the possibility of an interrupt coming when accessing the ROM tpdosa. Write programs correctly, comrades, for all computers... :-) ps: I also wrote a program under is-dos that writes the names of all .pkt files in the directory, and now I use Lara/Tr-dos & Dickie/Is-dos together. pps: one of these days I’m also going to fix to_trdos - I’ll make sure that when I write on a tr-dos disk of a file larger than 255 sectors, it was split into several.See ya later, KVA of E-mage. -+- Lara Croft in her 3.80 life + Origin: From LAME till INSINTY (2:451/17.33) ===================================================================================== Hello, All! Why doesn’t Dickie prohibit NMI from writing to disk? After all, there is a trigger on A11 in the circuit... Why is it then? Best regards, Evgeniy aka EVP.

EP> After all, there is a trigger on A11 in the circuit... Why is it then? There is a small bug in dosx.com. We look for the byte sequence: 08 D7 08 3E C3 and replace C3 with C9. (nmi in tyrdose) Also: 3E F2 0E 84 D7 - D7 change to 00. (I don’t know what) Congratulations, Eudgine. It was nice to chat. With lots of best wishes - KIR.

(I don’t know what) LD A,#F2:LD C,#84:EXX :) I can also recommend the following changes: Offset: What: What: #AE #F5AFCD2160CD0960013E3BED47 #003AFFCFF5F5AFCD2160CD096001 #C7 #AF3EF20E84-- #00003E3BED47 #196 #C6 #B4 After this patch, dosx will not forget the error number. In reality, this is not very useful, since the event tag X (where the error message number is actually set) Kondratieff is processed incorrectly. Best wishes, Oleg aka Ruiner. ps. The changes are quite serious and, most likely, for different dosix offsets will be different. Like the meaning of the latter byte.
