Funnelweb - copy modded to work with the NanoPEB?

[Stuart]

Anyone got a copy of the original version of Funnelweb (did it start at V3?) that has been modded to work with the NanoPEB?

 

Thanks,

Stuart.

I don't know that such a version exists. I modified what should have been the latest 4.x release a few years back. I thought it had been uploaded to WHT along with my notes regarding the changes to Fweb and DSKU.

There shouldn't be any reason why F'WEB wouldn't work with the nanoPEB (a;beit in 40 columns). That is, unless the nanoPEB does something peculiar.

The nanoPEB uses a few extra bytes of video RAM compared to the standard disk controller, and ISTR that F'Web also tries to use those bytes. I'll try to search back through the topics if no one can remember.

The CF7 and NanoPeb use 8 bytes of VDP memory for internal tracking of the mounted disks. Funnelweb (and some other programs) modify the pointer at 0x8370 according to existing floppy controller requirements, not fully taking into account future peripheral needs.
