trub Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 68k (SuperSynchromesh and indus.sys), but indus.sys is not enabling track buffering with Ramcharger now. New indus.sys probably enables only 68k on CA2001 what was not working before (instead of using 38k synchromesh or ca2001.sys (written by Draco (I am not 100% sure) in early 1990's - I have diskette from Atari Magazyn with it), which I think contains the same Z80 code. If I understand correctly, indus.sys never supported track buffering, only super synchromesh did it. But maybe trub will write more. As of SDX 4.45 Indus.sys contains three versions of synchromesh code (all 68kbps): INDUS GT 1.1, INDUS GT 1.2 (most common), CA-2001 (with support from sup8pdct). Track buffering is not yet implemented, but it will surely be in one of the next releases 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This will close the story, in full-circle, and put the IndustGT, back on the stratosphere, where it simply belongs. I do look forward to this upgrade, hopefully in a not-so distant future.

trub Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 Sure you did, thanks However the driver for DOS XL (GTSYNC) has a different structure from Sparta's INDUS.SYS. Z80 code chunks are basically the same, but they will be arranged in a different way. Additionally, a command line option will allow the user to turn on or off the buffering.

lemiel Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 I could not check this track buffering with CA2001, my sramcharger module is waiting for resend after post office send it back without notifying me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does temporarely show sector-counts, but most of the time comes back with the "BF" reminder (at least, that's the way DosXL original code handles / shows it).

Yes. i did see that in the z80 code, only when the track buffering is enabled. It shouldn't matter what dos is used. James Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
w1k Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 i have 800xe with 1mb+intSDX.. when i boot, i see only q-meg.. how i can start sdx? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trub Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 Solution 1: turn off QMEG Solution 2: boot from toolkit.atr (SDX Toolkit disk image) Solution 3: or use INIDOS.SYS as boot file on your custom boot disk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
w1k Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 thanks, i have wired connections, now works fine.. but: its 4.42 version, its possible flash to 4.45? (intsdx) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trub Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 Sure, either with an EPROM programmer or if you have flashable intSDX by booting from SDX445_sdx128.atr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

w1k Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 (edited) i have another problems with flashing.. i have switch on FLASH point, then i run SDX445_sdx128.atr from 5'25 disc, but i cant flash.. i try it several times..

+Larry Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 I have a special ramdisk for the 65816 with extended (linear) ram. It used to work well under 4.42 or 4.43 and the MyIDE driver under the 65816 OS, but I can't get it to work now. By necessity, it must be on D1: (not CAR:) So my CONFIG.SYS file looks like this: (BTW, I love Quick ED!) DEVICE SPARTA OSRAM DEVICE SIO DEVICE ATARIDOS DEVICE JIFFY DEVICE D1:RAMD816L .........(Note: the driver file name is RAMD816L.SYS, residing in the root directly of D1:/A:) If I do a CHKDSK or DIR, all I get is "138 Device does not respond" Am I setting this up incorrectly, or does did something change? If something has changed, don't bother trying to fix it -- hopefully this is just my syntax error. BTW, can this device be added from the command processor rather than CONFIG.SYS? If so, is the syntax the same or? Thanks, Larry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atari8warez Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 (edited) Bug Report for MENU.COM After receiving and installing my Ultimate1MB I strated to play around with SDX and found this. I am not sure if this has already been reported but here we go. When there is no physical drive on drive A: and with a ramdisk on drive O: do the following: D1:TYPE CAR:MENU.COM >>O:MENU.COM D1:TYPE CAR:APPEND.COM >>O:APPEND.COM D1:O: DO:MENU MENU.COM will load and will display the directory of drive O: showing two files copied with the above commands. Exit the MENU and do the following: DO:D1 D1:MENU The MENU will load and display an error message: "138 Device does not respond" (as there is no physical drive D1) Press ENTER and the MENU will display the exact same files on drive O: as if they were also on drive A: I beleive the buffer holding the directory entries was not properly initialized (to blank) in between the two invocations of the MENU.COM You can actually manipulate (i.e delete) the non-existant files from D1: using the menu commands.

flashjazzcat Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 Does SpartaDOS X now boot an external cart before it initializes itself? I speak specifically of the SIDE hardware build... I've heard that the FAT XEX loader can appear regardless of the position of the SIDE switch (which alters the base address of the ROM between that of SDX and the emulated external cart). I understood that SDX took complete precedence over any external cart and only invoked the cartridge via the CAR command. Anyone else experienced this?
