  1. Bench was there. It was highlighted at the end of the very long command line.

  4. Just ran this with the geneve option and got 188% with the PI 5 and the OS that comes with it.
  5. Yes, that is what happened. The pound picked her up but not before my said she liked the dog and was already considering ways to keep it.
  6. That's what I felt like, but he may just take a road trip with the tailgate down hoping he will accidentally run away when i stop somewhere.
  7. I'm a little bit bummed this evening. Ordered a Raspberry PI 5 on December 2nd. It shipped two weeks ago from Canada and arrived today. Last night, a stray dog showed up at the house. This afternoon, the UPS delivered the package to my doorstep. The dog got the package, and I found parts of the kit scattered near my front porch. Two HDMI cables destoyed and the cooling fan destroyed. I have spare cables I can use for HDMI, however the cooling fan was crunched up and was modified slightly to work with the new PI-5 box. I should have a new cooling fan Friday. Fortunately, the 128 GB card, heatsink, case, PI5, and power supply did not get chewed up. Trying to get the pound to get the dog now before I take other measures.
  8. Here is code I use to switch to 80 column text mode with a 9938.

  9. Yeah, there is no requirement for unlocking I am aware of changing the F18a to run in 80 column text mode. I do that with the 80 Column version of AfterHours BBS. If there is free space at the end of the DSR, modify the powerup vector to point to code at the end of the DSR to write the necessary byte(s) to the video registers. As I recall, there was a bit that was a difference between the 9918 and 9938 that was required or the Title Screen would be messed up on the Geneve. It is possible this same bit in Grom 0 is the issue and you just need to change that bit in one of the video registers.
  10. @wolhess and @arcadeshopper I want to confirm a couple of things. I don't think either of you are running the software on a Geneve, correct? Second, are you both running the software on a system with a F18a? If so, can you confirm the length of the 4th file in the PGM image file used? Trying to determine how much extra space is available in your setups.
  11. Can you sector edit the file format in the header and change it from Program Image to I/F 128? Might be easy for a one-off case. Barry Traver had code back in the day the first time files were compressed to a single file in Genial Traveler. That should have the necessary assembly code.
  12. @arcadeshopper I don't know why, but this thread is not showing up on the recently posted list of topics. To my knowledge, I have not told the website to ignore this topic. The only reason I know something was posted here was that I had a notice about a reply to one of my posts. If I did hit the Ignore topic, is there any way to unignore the topic? Oh, I just figured it out. Somehow, I got to this topic from another link and it is not in the TI-99/4A topics, rather the Classic Computing forum.
  13. @RickyDean One of the 3 buttons on the Geneve mouse is not tied to the VDP chip. I'm guessing that is the button that is responding in MyArt. Are you using an original Geneve mouse?
  14. Have you considered getting Funnelweb? It has been so long since I have used Funnelweb, but I think there are both Extended Basic and Editor Assembler loaders for it and it has a lot more capability.
  15. Folks, here is MyTerm for MDOS versions 7.40 and higher. This has full ANSI (color graphics too) support and uses the TIPI for Telnet connections. I thought I had previously provided some updates back with the 7.40 release of MDOS, but that was not the case. Either way, here is an update. Also to be noted, you can connect to the localhost of the TIPI. Generally, username/pwd is "tipi" (no quotes, lower case). If someone finds useful applications that can be run from localhost on the TIPI with the ANSI support, please let us know. Beery MYTERM120.zip
  16. The filename should be LOAD-IDE, not IDE-LOAD.
  17. @RickyDean What version of GPL are you using? Hopefully version 7.40 with MDOS Version 7.42. I know there were changes with the powerup routines @InsaneMultitasker made.
  18. Yep! Good catch! Going to edit my previous post.
  19. OK, back in the release of MDOS 7.40 was the first version of the ANSI driver for MDOS, useable with the TYPE command and with the TELNET command. Apparently the use of the TELNET command is not widely used by many as @Shift838 caught a typo in the documentation that if users read, the TELNET command would not have worked. Users should type the command as follows: TELNET heatwave.ddns.net:9640 /T or, TELNET heatwave.ddns.net:9640 /G The /T is for ANSI Textmode (no color) and the /G is for ANSI Graphics mode (with color). The type was the comma between the URL and port number should be a colon. Now, the Heatwave BBS I do not think has much color support, however color is used in the other TI-99/4A BBS's running ANSI color graphics including MYTBOX99.ddns.net:61644 (english) and MYTBOX99.ddns.net:61643 (german) as well as TheKeep.net:9918 .

  20. @arcadeshopper Does this mean from MDOS you can telnet now? If so, that is EXCELLENT news. Still waiting for my PI5 to ship. Beery
  21. Not knowing when you may have acquired your Geneve, any testing on a real Geneve should have confidence which PAL is in the Geneve. I know I acquired that update, but I do not have that Geneve. As far as my current Geneve's, I have no idea if any were updated as they were second hand.
  22. I remember I was one of the first individuals to test the chip on a GenMOD Geneve. It involved removing VDP wait states. The very "original" had too many wait states removed for a GenMOD Geneve and they had to add some additional wait states back. It was still a bit faster and measureable wihen graphic modes (Graphics mode 6 comes to mind) were utilized.
  23. The video port addresses are managed by CRU call with MDOS or GPL modes. The Geneve source code for the V2 eprom is at BeeryMiller/Boot-Eprom at Version-2.00 (github.com) The only thing that comes to mind is maybe there is a video register setting on the 9958 not consistent with the 9938. The 9938 does have settings for the type of VRAM and maybe things are setup differently for what you are using???? One thing you might try after booting to the MDOS prompt is to type MODE 60. This puts the VDP into Graphics mode 6. There is also MODE 40 which places the Geneve in Text mode 1 and MODE 80 that places the Geneve in Text mode 2. I do not recall if the 9958 has mouse support. If it does, and if you have a mouse, then there would be a good program I can point you towards to test all the video modes. If you don't have a Geneve mouse and had a way to
  24. Version 2 of the eprom does not give you a menu selection of devices to boot from. It gives the swan and then starts looking for the OS on detected devices until it finds one to load.
  25. Oh, the drem, never got it fully working properly with floppies. I have the original, not the newest version so I do not know if there would be any issues.
