- Updated S100 Monitor launch code to warn user if console will be directed to S100 bus vs. active on-board UART.
- Updated Duodyne early boot to add a delay to stabilize the boot process. This is temporary and needs to be further investigated.
Added a new driver category for DSKY (Display/Keypad) devices. Existing DSKY devices were converted into drivers ICM and PKD. These devices were previously DSKY and DSKYNG.
This removes substantial code duplication and recovers significant space in romldr and dbgmon.
- Modified the Disk Device function call (DIODEVICE) to provide new attributes related to disk size and removability.
- Leveraged API change to allow handling drive assignment differently depending on ATAPI vs. ATA interface.
IMM Driver has rational timeouts now. It also lights the MG014 LED during activity.
The PPA skeleton just attempts to determine if the PPA interface is present. It does not attempt any I/O.
- Added ability to enable VGARC and front panel in default config without I/O conflicts (does **not** support having both types of hardware present at the same time).
- Fixed documentation error in issue #345 reported by @MorfeoMatrixx.
If serial hardware flow control is enabled, but not working, then a system will appear dead because it won't send any data to the host computer. This change suppresses hardware flow control during boot just to ensure that boot messages can make it to the serial console. This will only be effective for serial interfaces that support dynamic management of HFC.
Edge case where the CPU speed detection routine would overflow in a fast emulator and return a speed of 0.000 MHz. Modified to fail back to the default CPU speed from the config file if an overflow occurs.
- Revamped CTC detection algorithm hoping to handle problem XRBR is having
- Fixed typo in dynamic CPU speed test that caused it to not be properly recorded/reported (credit XRBR)
- Allow use of DEL/RUBOUT keys as backspace in ROM Loader and Debug Monitor
CBIOS reports *** HBIOS Heap Overflow, when the HBIOS is big (i.e. lots of included drivers)
Trigger build failure when CCP will not fit in heap.
Slightly more informative CBIOS error message
- Tweaks to SURVEY and PORTSWP to improve port detection accuracy and handle Z280 better
- Recover a **lot** of wasted space in dbgmon using a few built-in utility routines instead of entire util.asm
- Improve the (D)evice command in romldr to use the HBIOS routine which is much more complete and saves space
As suggested by Laszlo Szolnoki, I have added an additional CF Card signature to the IDE and PPIDE drivers. He also pointed out a deficiency in the disk size printing which has been addressed.
I got a very nice email from Eluan Miranda. He pointed out a few inconsistencies in the video and audio driver configurations. I made a few adjustments to clean things up.
