I posted an updated load-scs or load-ide about a month ago after I discovered boot tracking was off.it was one of the two, not both. You should use cya and remap Scs1 and set AUTOEXEC to boot from scs1 as another option

Have you connected to your router and are you then able to see the attached PI? That will give you the ip-address:port where it is located. If it is not displaying on the router, and if you are using WIFI, then you likely are not using proper credentials on your PI configuration.

I'll be looking for one, maybe more, as well.

Thanks. It wasn't that hard to do with the original extended basic program having data statements and values instead of unprintable characters. This is probably the first time I have used the MATH XOP's in a program in 30 years. I did see something if there is room in the XOP, an additional opcode I would like to add. I was pointing to a wrong buffer converting the last math command back to an integer and the sounds were playing at the wrong speed. I had to add some debug code to see why the notes were playing too long.

In an earlier post in another topic, I took the Extended basic example code for the AXELF theme song and converted it to MDOS. Source code is provided for anyone wanting to see the MDOS code. To be noted, extended basic uses duration in milliseconds while the MDOS XOP's use 1/60th's of a seconds for duration. Thus, I used the MDOS Math XOP's to convert the duration to floating point, divided by 1000 to get the decimal portion of time, then multipled by 60 to get the number of 60th second intervals all in floating point. Then, converted that back to an integer to call the sound routine. Another sound routine checked to see when the current sound was completed before playing the next array. Enjoy, and feel free to use the code base to convert any other music/sound files to MDOS. Beery AXELF-MDOS.zip

I still have my X10 serial unit around here somewhere. I actually switched pins 2 and 3 on it and connected it up to the PC at one time.

Can you check to see if the email portion of the website is actually sending and receiving email? I had issues in the past with the Geneve MDOS conversion of Stuart's browser.

Yeah, I think a couple of those pages are within a handful of bytes. Do you have the LINK script with the extra EVAL statements at the end that shows where the page? You can use this link to get the updated LINKer command file at ABasic/!ABLINK.txt at main · BeeryMiller/ABasic (github.com) or the info you need is shown below. EVAL P7ENDB From file 166\CALL2-SRC EVAL P7ENDA From file 167\SYMBOL-SRC EVAL P6END From file 165\CALL1-SRC EVAL P8END From file 168\NUD2-SRC EVAL P2END From file 162\NUD1-SRC EVAL P4END From file 164\CMD-SRC

@InsaneMultitasker Hmm. I am wondering if it may have something to do with having two or more files open simultaneously and either getting an error, out of diskspace, or closing one file but not the other????

@InsaneMultitasker Let me know with file updates when you are confident you have everything worked out. I wonder if you format a disk as DS/SD then format SS/DD, then update sector 0 so the disk thinks it is DS/DD whether that will be sufficient to create a "bad" disk when it tries to write a file beyond sector 720.

I thought that was what Dan was referencing as far as the "disk" that was sold. JumpBoot was just a specially formatted disk with interlace/skew that could be created with HyperCopy.

All Jerry did was have a disk with a modified skew and an interlace of one where system/SYS was written. I wrote about that in 9640 News at the time. You could create your own disk with HyperCopy.

Mayhem was quoted in the comments as saying it did nothing.

Reading the comments from the posted video on youtube, that extra bit does nothing.

Yeah, CYA can mask the AUTOEXEC loading as you can specify the device name and redefining the SCSMAP configuration can impact device number as well.
