Re: Dreamdisk lives!

Hi Exidyboy, ..... 4. It does seem that the Drive Select lines are not changing when you use SETDISK to configure multiple drives. T he Drive Select lines A, B, C, D all stay low . So if you have two Goteks they both try and put data on the Read Data line. I may not be fully understanding how SETDIS...

New MIST based FPGA implementation

Hi All,

Just came up in my github feed:

https://github.com/gyurco/Sorcerer-FPGA

Haven't taken a good look at it yet, but it may be a worthwhile candidate for porting to MISTer.
(Since I don't have a MIST board)

Cheers,
Leslie

Re: ESGG External RAM Disk

Hi All,

Files courtesy exidyboy.

Had to go through a batch of different executables to rebuild one to match the source code.

Cheers,

Re: ESGG External RAM Disk

Also, outputting some values to port 7Fh (OU 7F n) always caused a hang except 0 value; so seems that I need to check this moving the stack just in case the swapped page (if any) is the one with the stack. A warm start brings me back the prompt; but also probably, restores the original paging as I ...

Re: ESGG External RAM Disk

Just having a look at the ESGG Monitor. Most obvious difference is that the 'MO' routine is now smart enough to detect overlaps, and uses LDDR/LDIR as appropriate. Routine which copies the GFX chars to the FC00h area is quite ingenious. Instead of just a block move, it builds the characters on the f...

Re: ESGG External RAM Disk

Hi All, Judging by the schematic, it appears that one of 16 banks of 16KB can be selected for each of the normal 16KB areas == 768KB total (?) Select by writing D3-D0 at port 7Fh (jumper selectable), which controls the top 2 address bits of the DRAMs. Always resets to 00 for A7,A8. Presumably, the m...
