Kyle22 Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 Is there a reason that RespeQt 5.1 can't mount a CP/M disk as B: (D2:)? I want to check out WordStar with my Indus. ATR attached. WordStar - CPM 80.ATR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+DjayBee Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 Why don't you try the latest version? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebiguy Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 If the latest version (5.3) does not work, please try a legacy version (4) from jzatarski to check if this is a regression or if it never worked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kyle22 Posted June 23, 2020 Author Share Posted June 23, 2020 I don't know how I ended up with 5.1. I thought it was 5.3 on that computer. If the ATR is bad, does anyone know where a good one is? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyle22 Posted June 25, 2020 Author Share Posted June 25, 2020 I have 5.3 now. It stops emulation (seemingly randomly) when I am using CP/M. I had to turn off all highspeed stuff. I was playing Zork and still got BDOS Err on B: a few times. Is there a way to configure @trub Term (TT) to use high speed, or is the Indus directly commanding B:? There has got to be a way to make this nice and fast. Ideally, we should be able to have the Atari -> Indus -> Atari speed made faster, and allow PBI mounted images to be used as B: instead of slow SIO. Any suggestions?

Kyle22 Posted June 25, 2020 Author Share Posted June 25, 2020 All it would take is a DCB change in the BIOS to support larger drives, as well. There is much room for improvement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, AFAIK, the version doesn't matter. This needs more testing. I was using Trub Terminal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_The Doctor__ Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 @Kyle22, did you try the latest version that fixed some flashing and size issues? maybe something has improved? @ebiguy, what's the direct link to the latest version, and can you describe the fixes that were included?

There is no link because there is no binary built yet. I am waiting for the latest code (printer emulation) from Jochen. We will have a call this week-end. Then I will also make a couple of fixes in the 1020 printer emulation. And finally, we will be able to release a 5.4 with better printing emulation and the fix about the ATR size issue. Nothing else is planned. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope that once FujiNet becomes more widely known and people become more familiar with its code and features that the amazing printer emulation features can be ported over into RespeQt. It would be amazing to have that kind of Epson emulation in the hands of RespeQt users. EDIT: Apologies for the thread hijack! I forgot what the thread topic was when I replied. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TT simply calls SIOV OS procedure to access the B: drive, so the speed depends on OS. You get high speed if OS itself supports this or if the high speed handler is hooked to the OS vector (such as SIO driver in the FJC's Ultimate1MB firmware). However, after reading the data, TT still needs to send it to Indus CP/M via SIO. A double transfer is then needed: drive B: -> TT -> Indus CP / M, which results in poor performance. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyle22 Posted June 26, 2020 Author Share Posted June 26, 2020 @trub So this should in theory work with a PBI HD partition as B: then? I wonder if the DPB can be patched to use more than a 180K disk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_The Doctor__ Posted June 27, 2020 Share Posted June 27, 2020 almost sounds like the CP/M sio routine in the indus needs a patch when in cp/m mode. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To do more than 19,200 yeah. Divisor zero would be SWEET! Goal: Get NZ-COM on the Indus.

I wonder if the DPB can be patched to use more than a 180K disk. Sure it can be done. However, I think it would be better to patch DPB for drive C (it now set for 90k disk in the second drive, so of questionable use nowadays).

Kyle22 Posted October 2, 2020 Author Share Posted October 2, 2020 Sure. Drive 'C:' would be nice. There has got to be a way to make it a pleasure instead of a chore to use WordStar. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyle22 Posted January 3, 2022 Author Share Posted January 3, 2022 I think we'd need something simple and interrupt driven. (So the Indus can IRQ the Atari.) There has to be be a way to use a fast HD. When we're using the terminal prog on the Atari to CP/M on the Indus GT. We we need a way to bridge APT hard drives to CP/M in the Indus GT or FujiNet. Let's do this with BOTH of them. [if possible]. Have a Happy New Year. If I'm not making sense, just ignore me, but I think it possible to integrate IndusGT CP/M drives w/ FujiNet for purpose of exchange of disks with other users. That's what we need. A Full Disk copy / protection bypass / PIRATE system /CP/M system is Ready and Waiting! Let's USE IT. Indus GT (& Clones) is / are a POWERFUL TOOL! Also ATR8000. Much Z80 could be written to help the 65(c)xxx in the Atari. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyle22 Posted January 3, 2022 Author Share Posted January 3, 2022 Think of putting together ALL of what we have now. SIO & PBI HD. With or Without a VBXE, it would be useful to have a driver (IF there's any way to do it) Support : 1. Indus-GT to CP/M drive in FujiNet? 2. Indus-GT CP/M drive B:, C:, etc to support PBI HD's or IMAGES? That would be PERFECT. 3. ATR-8000 would be possible to fix up. I'm just throwing it out there. Look for ways to make new things happen.
