The QPM portion of the build has been updated to dynamically combine the current CBIOS with the static QPM CCP and BDOS binaries. This will keep the QPM system image up to date and avoid HBIOS version mismatch warnings.
- Based on reports from Martin R, the FDC detection algorithm has been updated to try reading the FDC MSR register twice to try and get the desired value of 0x80.
- Dan Werner's ESP board for Duodyne is working well, so the default Duodyne config has been changed to automatically detect this board.
The EtchedPixels floppy disk controller is known by the identifier
'FDMODE_EPFDC', but the comments in the Config subdirectory have an
incorrect reference to 'EPWDC'. This fix updates the comments to use the
correct name.
Credit to Martin R for reporting that his FDC was not being detected. The delay between FDC status register reads was increased in the detection routine to correct this.
- 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.
