Gazoo Posted July 20, 2014 Share Posted July 20, 2014 (edited) Sure, I do not have a copy of Mulitplan anywhere as I have never used it except on a PC, never on a TI. Do you have the GROMS and DISKs for Classic99? Just need to take a look at how and where I can put it. If they take up to much space then we will have to use SWGROM routine I have played around with. Put the disks in the second bank of GROM, I played around with a routine that would search for them in all 16 banks till it found them. Or we could put the DISKs in the TI Basic area as you can not use both TI Basic and Multiplan at same time. I've done the easy part and constructed the Rom file. Inverted512kROM.bin Use this Rom file in Classic99 as you would any of the other ubergrom cart Rom files. Something like this: [userCart1] ; *** 632k XB and Multiplan cart - works *** name="632k XB & Multiplan" rom0=G|6000|A000|MODS\RXBg.BIN rom1=G1|6000|A000|MODS\MULTIPLANg.BIN rom2=3|0000|80000|MODS\Inverted512kROM.bin The XB (or RXB) Roms are in the first 2 banks, so any Extended Basic can be used. The Multiplan files from the TIMP disk listed below are stored in some of the other Rom banks. The files are stored in the Roms according to this chart. Note that some of the files span several banks. Filename Bank Write To Data Length MPBASE 3 >6004 >2000 4 >6006 >0710 MPCHAR 5 >6008 >0800 MPDATA 6 >600A >2000 MPHLP 7 >600C >2000 8 >600E >2000 9 >6010 >2000 10 >6012 >2000 11 >6014 >1C80 MPINTR 12 >6016 >2000 OVERLAY 13 >6018 >1E00 All that's necessary is to modify the Multiplan Groms to find these files in Rom. I hope this mod can be done! Gazoo EDIT: After the files are accessed and loaded by writing to Rom, a write to >6000 should be done to reset to the first Rom bank so that ®XB will work after a Quit from Multiplan.

Sorry when grandkids are here we spend all the time playing games so my work on the TI is pretty much shut down. So you want me to find and modify the Multiplan loader section for the ROMs?

So you want me to find and modify the Multiplan loader section for the ROMs? Yes, that would be great! Gazoo EDIT: I just looked at the 80 column version and it uses the same file sizes as the original disk, so if you get it working, it's just a matter of building a new Rom with the 80 column files, piece of cake.

I have Multiplan Cart loaded in Classic99 but it will not load any of the files and says: DISK ERROR *** 2 Also how the hell do you ever use GPL*Disassembler on Classic99 on anything but XB or EA as no other cart allows you to load and run it? Not to mention that GPL Dissassembly is not supported at all on the Classic99 Debugger. Only Assembly is supported. The only way I can think of loading it is to put EA cart in TI BASIC area and then run GPL Disassembler from there. Is the Multiplan.bin you sent me modified so it will not load the TIMP archived Multiplan Disks that Robert sent me? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobertLM78 Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 ...Is the Multiplan.bin you sent me modified so it will not load the TIMP archived Multiplan Disks that Robert sent me? To be sure, you did extract the ark file to Classic99's "DSK1" folder? And doesn't the diskname need to be TIMP? (It's been a while since I've used Multiplan).

RXB Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 Yea the file is TIMP and I think the problem is the vesion of Multiplan is not the orginal after all but Version 4.00 that has been heavily modified. From the Documents it appears to move those DISK files into >2000 and >4000 where basic is located but those are missing. I think I need a version not so modified. Hard to tell where to start when no documentation exists for where everything has been moved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you look at the example I posted for the setup in the classic99.ini file, it has RXB on page 1 and Multiplan on page 2. I checked that the files loaded with the posted cartridge and disk, and had no problem. Gazoo Edit: Multiplan only works on page 1, so you have to flip the carts.

RXB / REA loaded in first bank so I can load GPLDISASSEM the GPL disassembler but how the heck do I switch to Mulitplan to disassemble it? When I do it resets the Cart, and why is the AUTO START of RXB Disk 1 turned on? I did not distribute this in any version but version 2001, not 2012. I had to run the NOPOWERUP XB program that comes with RXB 2012 to turn it off and flag writes in GRAM >6000 of Classic99, for some reason the copy you sent me has it turned on.

Maybe you could run BOOT to load your GPL Disassembler. It allows you to select the page you're on. Not sure about the RXB questions as I'm not familiar with any type of flags or the NOPOWERUP XB program. Gazoo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be great will have to find a copy. As for RXB the copy you sent me does a GROM powerup into RXB and does a DSK1.LOAD From Classic99 run this program but go to Options GRAM and check >6000 before you run this RXB Program: 100 ! THIS PROGRAM CANCELS THE AUTO-POWER-UP ROUTINE. 110 CALL POKEG(24580,0,0) 120 CALL BYE 130 ! 24580=>6004 ADDRESS 0,0 =>0000 VALUE 140 ! NOTE THIS ONLY WORKS WITH A GRAMKRACKER OR THE GRAMULATOR. A DISK PATCH MUST BE MADE BY OTHER GRAM DEVICES. 150 ! For Classic99 TURN ON GRAM 6000 ACCESS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't remember sending you a copy of your own software, especially since I don't have any copies of RXB that use the powerup, although it would be easy enough to remove without going to all the trouble of running an Extended Basic program. Maybe it was someone else? BOOT won't do EA3, you'll have to convert it to EA5. If you can't, send me a copy and I'll convert it.

Gazoo Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 I've put all the files you need to work on this into a zipfile. The contents of the file are pictured below. And here's the zipfile.

Yea took 2 days to find all the stuff. Then could not get the P-Box to behave with the SCSI card.
