Laszlo reported that the Unix make system was failing on openSuse Linux. Turns out that it did not like the syntax in one line of the Makefile in the RomDsk directory. This small change eliminates the incompatibility.
- 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.
- 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.
Lars Nelson has contributed 3 new apps.
- XSUB1 is an improved version of DRI XSUB that allows it to be removed from memory using RMXSUB1
- EX is an early variant of the ZEX batch file processor, but EX runs on ZSDOS (does not require later versions of ZCPR).
- SCOPY is a visual file copy utility which requires ZCPR 3+. It is included on the ZPM disk image.
Allow specifying a character code which, upon receipt, will reboot system. Only useful/implemented for interrupt driven serial drivers. Currently only implemented for ASCI and SIO. Do *not* use this unless you fully understand the ramifications!!!
- Minor update to FAT.COM for CP/NET compatibility. Who knew the CP/NET requestor code mucks with the IX & IY register?
- Add David Reese's excellent recreation of Microsoft BASIC manual.
Improved the way that the default drive is assigned in the scenario where you are booting to a ROM-based OS. This should allow removal of either the RAM drive or the ROM drive without causing unexpected consequences.
Thanks to Max Scane for this update. It fixes a situation where CLRDIR may not clear all directory entries under CP/M 3 depending on the disk geometry.
- CLRDIR has been updated by Max Scane for CP/M 3 compatibility.
- A minor issue in the preconfigured ZDE VT100 terminal escape sequences was corrected.
- Added official support for Steve Cousin's RC2014 Z180 + Native Memory modules (SC111 & SC119). Thanks to Steve for his assistance with this.
- Improved interrupt framework to remove need to extra stubs for each IM2 interrupt handler.
Updated CBIOS to look for PROFILE.SUB on the boot drive and SUBMIT it
automatically at cold boot if it exists. Also patched SUBMIT.COM to
force temporary file onto A: to ensure immediate execution of SUBMITed
files.
