Added configuration setting VDAEMU_SERKBD which can be used to specify any serial unit # to be used as the keyboard for the video terminal. Default value is $FF which means to use the default hardware keyboard. All other values mean that terminal input is to come from corresponding serial unit #.
Also a couple more tweaks to the p-System boot volume.
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.
- Improved ASSIGN operation under CP/M 3 to better handle BIOS function invocations
- Added 2PIOTST for testing the DUALPIO MBC board
- Increased default RAM drive size for ZRC
- Fixed the ROM VERIFY functionality on Z280. It was indicating errors incorrectly.
- Revised the way that ZZRCC is built to remove a bunch of complexity that was causing issues. An implication of this is that ZZRCC now treats the data loaded from the CF Card as a ROM disk instead of a RAM disk.
- Updated the assemblers to handle some more Z280 instructions used in HBIOS.
- When building ZZRCC, checks have been added to ensure the ROM image is exactly 256K. The build defaults to 512K and that causes the ZZRCC disk image to be corrupted. This will stop the build if the user fails to specify a 256K ROM size.
- 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.
- Reorganized most of the "common" files into special directories.
- Fixed bug affecting application boot related to ROM checksum test.
- Added support for LiNC sound card at default port address.
- The DSKY(ng) can display disk I/O activity as the system runs. This capability was implemented very erratically. This update overhauls the mechanism, makes it consistent, and implements it across all disk drivers.
- DSKYng now has same features as original DSKY including debug monitor
- Added support for MBS LEDs
- Elevated MBS to a platform instead of just a sub-config of SBC
- FD driver will now detect presence of FDC hardware and install if found in all standard configurations
- Does *not* detect type of FDC which must still be set in config
- Added default FD driver MODE to all configs
- Thanks to Alan Cox for the technique!
