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.
- Added WDATE command courtesy Kevin Boone. See https://github.com/kevinboone/wdate-cpm for more information.
- Final cleanup of PPA/IMM/SYQ drivers including CPU speed compensated timeouts.
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.
Credit to Jose Luis for discovering this bug and bringing it to my attention. The fix is a small patch on top of the patches previously applied from Jon Saxton. See the ZPM3 directory in Sources for more information.
- Minimal support for QP/M by adding a disk image.
- Disk image is not included in combo image, it must be added separately.
- Disk image boots into CP/M 2.2. You must run QINSTALL to configure it and make the disk boot into QP/M.
- It is critical to review the ReadMe.txt file -- default QP/M configuration conflicts with RomWBW use of Page Zero.
- Added some stack space to SYSGEN. It was failing when run with extra CBIOS debugging enabled.
- Cleanup of diskdefs file.
- Updated SIMH executable.
- Add kbdtest, cvdtest, and cvdonly test programs. They apply to MBC platform only.
- Display more boot info in CVDU and KBD drivers.
- Separate floppy and hard disk content definition files.
- Fixes to ZPMLDR to make it functional with RomWBW.
- Incorporate fixes from the Jon Saxton disassembly in ZPM3 itself.
- Credit to Lars Nelson for finding the ZPM3 source (disassembly).
- Added TMSMODE_RCKBD to support an 8242 keyboard combined with TMS video.
- Worked around a syntax issue from uz80as in rz.asm.
- Improved mechanism to handle forcing a UART detection for SIMH.
