AtariGeezer Posted March 8, 2015 Author Share Posted March 8, 2015 Just a quick note to say that I'll be adding support for Sys-Check II and Mega-Spedy in the next couple of months. I'll also be replacing the internal flasher with the Universal Flasher that Candle had encouraged me to do after creating the Incognito Flasher (before FJC picked my brain on details on how I would go about creating it)...

Fortunately prior knowledge of a disassembled and rebranded version of Trub's flasher didn't find its way into subsequent tools. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

atari8warez Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 Now you should really stop developing your ROM Generator and let the "in situ" flashing tool be the only game in town Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtariGeezer Posted March 9, 2015 Author Share Posted March 9, 2015 Nah, if we only had one Disk Editor, Word Processor or other App or Game, A8 life could be rather boring I may be the only one who'll be using it, we'll just have to see...

AtariGeezer Posted March 9, 2015 Author Share Posted March 9, 2015 (edited) Jon, Grow the hell up... I've never said I didn't use public domain code. Some of the code I used came directly from the Sic! flasher code that was posted as open source... Now go on and get and STOP TROLLING and being such a WHINER!!! http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=whiner And you're now on Ignore...

I don't pretend that I put people on ignore list and still continue to prowl behind the scenes. When I do put someone on that list it's final, but that's me.

flashjazzcat Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 Appears to work well, but I experienced a couple of small cosmetic issues when using release versions of the new firmware (i.e. versions 1.00 and up): Revision date of the loader appears stuck at 00/00/0000 for some reason Main BIOS and SIDE Loader signatures have superfluous trailing characters. My theory here is that they are assumed to be null terminated strings, and while this was unintentionally true when the firmware's major revision number (which appears immediately after the six byte signature) was $00, it is no longer true now that the major revision number is $01. The string should be trimmed to six characters. Other than that, looking very nice indeed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flashjazzcat Posted April 28, 2016 Share Posted April 28, 2016 Great - thanks. Note that in the new BIOS, the GOS slot only becomes active when the SDX slot is 192KB or less (the reason being that there will never be a GOS ROM of less than 128KB in size). Conversely, it's even possible to have a 320KB SDX slot, and - like the 256KB SDX ROM - this makes the GOS slot inoperative. The SDX size byte is described on page 6 of the technical manual. Being able to select from 192, 256, and 320KB SDX ROM sizes in your editor would probably be really useful too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fujidude Posted April 28, 2016 Share Posted April 28, 2016 Thanks Jay for your work on this. FJC's UFLASH is really nice, but sometimes it is more convenient to work with things on the Windows side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Okay, I'll change it so the the GOS slot only becomes active when the SDX slot is 192KB or less. I'm looking at the SpartaDOS X 4.47 Programming Guide, but not seeing any SDX Size Byte referenced on page 6. Would you be so kind to point that out? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think FJC was referring to page 6 of his Ultimate BIOS Technical Documentation. Page 6 in that has a table of addresses and what they are used for. The single byte at $C00B stores the number of 8K banks the SDX ROM has. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AtariGeezer Posted May 14, 2016 Author Share Posted May 14, 2016 This update adds the SDX Size option to Incognito and Ultimate1MB. When loading an SDX image, a check is done to verify it's contents so you don't accidentally write over valid data.
