Denial

I just want to read some bytes from a certain location ($0500) of the drive. In basic i've no problems i use this routines: 10 OPEN 15,8,15 20 PRINT#15,"M-R"CHR$(0)CHR$(5)CHR$(5) 30 FOR T=1TO5 40 GET#15,A$:A=ASC(A$+CHR$(0)) 50 PRINT A 60 NEXT T 70 CLOSE 15 With this basic routine i simply ...

My opinion is that foreign languages subsection may be useful but not needful. Who translate interesting discussion in japanese/french/German to english ? I think that if we want to use International VIC section (i'm not so enthusiastic) someone, a moderator for example, need to translate interestin...

I suggest Alan for "General Topics" section or any other if he likes. For the new section "International VIC" i may offer myself as Italian subsection moderator if any, i think "International VIC" need subsections otherwise seems a babel with lots of languages. I think ...

Ciao Orion70, è un piacere finalmente poter parlare in italiano su Denial!!!

1) A me se non altro per la memoria storica, interesserebbe, ovviamente con comodo.

2) Mi offro volantario.

3) Non mi risulta.

The fastloader code in the drive detects if the computer has asserted ATN instead of trying to receive bits from the drive. Yes is true but in initial loop phase only (i think). :? In effect using option LEDFLASH = 3 after the call to INIT if i just type: POKE37151,255 ($911f=$ff so bit 7 is on) th...

for an interrupted transfer you can just assert and deassert ATN to make the drive code exit. I'm tried to set ATN but i think i'm wrong in some place. To assert ATN i use: lda $911f ora #$80 ; turn ON bit 7 (ATN) sta $911f ; and rewrite but after the modify of the byte $911f, how to inform the dri...

Thanks a1bert, that means other tests this week-end.
For now i've solved the filename loading problem, now if you load "SGUISH" it load "SGUISH" and no more "SGUISH TES".

OK, after a lot of test i think that the "problem" is inside the Drive FastLoader routines. I'm pretty sure that the loader written by Marko Mäkelä, modified by Pasi Ojala (a1bert) for VICI ITERUM MM demo and adapted to run standalone by Carlsson assume that all the load process will go al...

I've made a first Fastloader beta version starting from Carlsson adapted project. For now i've 2 version because there is a problem that i must understand so after a while working with a full version partial working i've decided to restart the project to see where is the problem. In any case the ful...

ops..

Thanks guys

OPS, the FL value what does mean ? and why if - flag is not used sometime is 1 and other 0 ?

Using the register windows in VICE MONITOR (View --> Register window) for debugging purpose, i don't understand some bytes and flag as show in image below. Someone know the meaning of bytes SP, 00, 01, FL and flags - and B ? http://one.xthost.info/nbla000/vic20/posts/vice-monitor-register-window.JPG

Thanks. I may work with 2031 drives only, when i use for example 4040 drives which image format i must use ? i've tried with d64 and d71 but without results, reading on wikipedia seems that this drive is not compatible with 1541 formatted disks, so i want to format it. OPEN15,8,15,"N0,NEWDISK,N...

Hi, for testing pourpose for my new program "EASYLOAD" i want to emulate IEEE drives on VICE. In VICE: menu Options ==> VIC-1112 IEEE 488 module menu Options ==> True drive emulation menu Settings ==> Drive settings... set drive 8 as 2031 or 2040, 3040, 4040, 1001, 8050, 8250. As first thi...

After using my 1581 for a short while I have found the condition that causes a conflict between the 1581 and the datasette. I've the same problem, is it "normal", take a look to this document: http://personalpages.tds.net/~rcarlsen/cbm/1581.txt This is a part axtracted from it: Lastly, a ...
