jenorton Posted February 6, 2020 Share Posted February 6, 2020 Hi: I have a copy of the Myarc Disk Manager (mdm150.dsk) which is supposed to load from Extended Basic. I can use "CALL MDM" to load it, but, if I let Extended Basic load it through the "LOAD" program, it says "Subprogram not found in 100". Seems like this happens when the CALL LINK("SLOAD") statement tries to execute. Do I have an outdated version? or is something genreally wrong with the latest version. Thanks!

Might Crash in RXB, I had to rewrite my loader using RXB instead. I used a dump of the code in Lower 8K from the CALL LINK("SLOAD") on disk to make a copy for my RXB CALL BSAVE("DSK2.MDMLOAD") The dump was converted to TEXT and RXB opened it like a DV80 file to read the bytes and move them into Lower 8K using CALL LOAD. That way the BSAVE just made a Program Image file of the lower 8K loaded by BLOAD thus CALL BLOAD("DSK2.MDMLOAD") did the same thing with out crashing. The reason for the crash is that the loader used a GRAM address that did not really make sense and was a bug used to make the loader work, RXB removed that bug.

jenorton Posted February 6, 2020 Author Share Posted February 6, 2020 Wel, as long as CALL MDM works, not a show stopper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Ksarul Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 Note that it is also part of three of the XB Suite cartridges: XB 2.7 (Tony Knerr), Expanded BASIC 3 (Winfried Winkler), and Triton Super Extended BASIC. I use them all the time when I want to load the Myarc Manager. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
