Hello, Musa!

But no way! :)
But if HeOS runs from shadow RAM, then it’s possible. That’s probably why
there is such a line.

And on TURBO 2+ imho you don’t need it in the ROM shove! There you can also turn on the RAM page from #0000
Only there is no version for this car yet. Wait for the installer!

By the way, we have 2 of these TURBs here! One is practically “on the closet”, but the other
is not. And a person suffers with it - how can you change the firmware? Or install an additional ROM? These RU2 are located there... In short, we need
information on how to teach it to support 1M using #7FFD.


All the best.
Sincerely, Roman.

Roman, you're wrong!!! In this case, the system outputs to 48
BASIC, but with port #7FFD open.

Yes. But I’m only wrong “in this case”, imho.
I think that if this is not implemented in this version, this does not mean that
this is fundamentally impossible.

Nobody simply asked for it :) And line 128 Basic misled many
:) I just couldn’t figure out how else to call 48 Basic with an open #7ffd. Who
has a better option?

Personally, I would have needed another line - “Service” - setting bit 4 #7FFD,
bit 6 #EFF7 and RST 0. I can get into MADROM this way. Then the "Service
RESET" button would be unnecessary. The Pentagon has difficulties implementing this button.

Basic 48 (open)
Basic 48 (lock)
