- @kiwisincebirth noticed some duplicative code in HBIOS related to warm starts. This has been refactored.
- A start mode code is now passed from HBIOS to RomLdr to indicate a warm or cold start. Device inventory now uses this code to display only on cold start.
Jörg Linder has disassembled and thoroughly commented a great deal of the BPBIOS binaries. This was an incredible amount of work. I have added all of these to the RomWBW build scripts and will ultimately integrate them more completely.
General cleanup and refactoring of the ROM bank layout mechanism in the build scripts. This will make it easier to add and adjust the components in the ROM banks.
This commit does not yet implement the pending bank layout changes. Those will be part of the next commit.
The Monsputer was already omitted from the standard builds. It had almost no impact on the core code, so I have annotated some references to Monsputer as deprecated.
For keyboard interface on I/O Multi board. Default is disabled. Requires interrupt #2 jumper set on I/O Multiboard, which is pin 11-12 in P5. Has limitations around port settings. Do not have a video card on my Duo so have been forcing a video driver to load and testing with PIP CON:=UR2: . Let me know what you think.
- Support HEATH MSX Graphics card in HBIOS
- Support HEATH MSX Graphics card in TUNE app
- Startup HEATH at 8MHz to ensure hardware compatibility/detection
- Added RCEZ80 platform option to Build.ps1
- Added EZ80 config settings to MASTER config (required to get build to work for some situations)
- Modified a .EQU in cfg_RCEZ80.asm to a .SET. After adding config setting to MASTER config, the .EQU was causing a redefinition error.
- I have temporarily removed some "TRANSLATE" lines in ez80uart.asm. They were attempting to place a value greater that 0xFFFF in a register and generated an assembly error.
- Modified a few JR instructions in hbios.asm to JP due to out-of-range errors.
- Modified std.asm to "nest" a conditional. The Windows assembler does not ignore the remainder of a complex conditional when it should.
- Modified tms.asm to replace the PRTS macro with alternative lines. The Windows assembler cannot handle a string longer than about 8 characters in a macro argument.
- Added the TIMER utility to the ROM disk. Not sure what happened there. It was included in the Windows build, but not the Linux build. There is room for it, so I added it to the Linux build to get a binary exact build compare.
- Unique I/O configuration for Les Bird's Graphics/Sound/Joystick Module has been removed because the module now conforms to generic MSX port conventions.
- Add Z280 interrupt mode 3 to INTTEST app
- Make application boot handle restart by using HBIOS restart in place
- Resolve multiple issues with HBIOS restart in place
- Implement Interrupt Mode 2 (Mode 1 is still default)
- Implement interrupt driven keyboard support
- Improve UART keyboard driver to support interrupt driven flow control
- Additional HBIOS reorganization - no functional changes (in theory)
- Upgrade to v1.3.8 of FLASH4 from Will Sowerbutts
- Upgrade to FAT v1.1 based on input from Peter (@z80micro-mc)
