WIP: INGLE, the cozy desktop for the Ultimem

[Mike]

get some taste of it.

Tried ingle in VICE a bit over the weekend. What's installed as files in the flash file system seems to load fine.

However, even simple start attempts in window #8 made issues: when I attached 'minipaint.d64' as #8 and tried to run BOOT from ingle, I got a ?SYNTAX error in line 10584, and a LIST revealed:

Code: Select all

10584 +CHR$(Y):U=-1

... which surely isn't part of BOOT - but I remember this code fragment to be part of the MINIGRAFIK DEMO program, it's in the flood fill routine, so somehow that got to the wrong place.

After that, no recovery possible. Even after reset, retrying the load action gives me a "Can't open file".

Further investigation in the VICE monitor showed me BOOT actually was loaded, albeit to $4000. It's a file with a standard load address of $1201 and should execute fine on any environment that is equivalent to a +16K RAM expansion.

That being said, I have two suggestions:

• There should be a dedicated command/key which reloads the directory upon a disk change.
• With down/up/left already doing most of the navigating, cursor right should duplicate the action of Enter/Return.

Greetings,

Michael

Thanks a bunch, Mike! Still cannot figure out how to automatically generated, banking code. Memory full.

Eventually things are progressing again. It*s a little bit odd to come back home from work as a software engineer to then code again to relax. Probably because of getting used to solitude. Or perhaps it's because it's ambiguous which sucks more: the beer or Netf***.

Latest highlight of the UltiFS: a 96 byte wedge. Guess it'll be hard to NOT find space for it.

Will probably kill myself if later on no-one will make apps for it.

Since the Ultimem seems to be out of stock and I seem to have a faulty prototype, development ended right there. Sorry. Perhaps another time.
