Yes, please.  There are some limitations to CD and other commands due to available space in that segment of the OS. (16 bytes free!)  We've removed DISKCOMPARE and DISKCOPY to free up some space in the command line interpreter, which might allow for some feature adds/corrections after a bit more analysis is completed.

It is predictable from what I see here.

 

CD does not check whether the path exists; this has always been the case. Would be nice if it did, but takes more time. On the right, the trailing slash should be removed. The bad thing is that DIR requires the trailing slash.

 

DIR MODULES will not deliver the contents

DIR MODULES\ does it

 

CD MODULES is OK

CD MODULES\ will fail.

[+9640News]

In the example on the left, you got the device error because you typed "module", not "modules" with the latter being the correct folder name. And sorta along the lines with what was posted above, the trailing slash was after the directory name was converted to a period so that "modules" became "modules." which that folder does not exist either.

 

The CMD.exe window for Win10 allows one to:

 

cd down\ to go to C:\>DOWN

 

or

 

cd down. to go to C:\>DOWN

 

One route would require stripping a trailing "." or trailing "\" from the path request.  Another option is to strip and error report and revert back to the original path if an invalid entry is made similar to what a MS-DOS prompt would do.  

 

This is worth documenting as an improvement "as time permits" as it would likely require changes in a number of places in the CLI code for consistency sake across a number of commands impacted.

Happy Monday.

MDOS 7.00 code base integrated with our TIPI work from the past month.  

Took the time yesterday to delete/organize the source folders.

Compiled this morning using HRD4000B and ram hard drive support. 

Includes TIMODE2 alternative which frees up the dedicated MyWord ram (64k) for use. 

 

[+InsaneMultitasker]

Testing a few powerup routine configurations within the OS that impact the /4a and Geneve OS modes. 

GPL/TIMODE now uses the color defined by the command line (if in text 40/80 mode) instead of the default white on blue.  (No, I do not prefer white on red)  

Took a stab at bridging the gap between GPL interpreter and TIMODE.  The function of the "GPL" program isn't to interpret GPL, it is to provide a TI-99/4a compatible environment. 

Options area might need to be reworked and/or changed to 80 columns at a future date.

 

 

[+InsaneMultitasker]

The past few evenings I researched a long-standing curiosity (and mild concern) of mine, with respect to the Geneve OS and its master DSR.

 

Someone once told me that loading files from the SCSI card using its on-card DSR was faster than the OS's master DSR, and that it was most noticeable when loading a cartridge via GPL.  The difference is relatively simple to observe:  Load MDOS 6.50 and GPL 6.50;  load a cartridge such as Extended BASIC;  Engage ROMPAGE mode and load the cartridge again.  The latter load will be faster.

 

That comment spurred me into reworking some of the SCSI DSR code and adding a sector cache to improve overall performance.  Those changes improved read IO speeds considerably, however, the changes only impacted certain operations.

 

MDOS 7.0 tweaked the Ramdisk and PFM IO to use word-based moves, and now mimics some of the fast copy ideas learned from reading Tursi's and Asmusr's posts (among others), such as unrolling critical loops to 4x or 8x operations per loop.

 

Even with these changes, loading programs from the OS command line still exhibits a slight delay between each file load.  Pasts attempts to find the bottlenecks were unsuccessful because I was not looking in all the right places.

 

Tracing the code we find that the OS loads each chained file (16k max per file) from disk to a staging area of two consecutive 8k pages.   Next, the OS inspects the header for the load address and file size.  It checks for the encryption status and if the file is encrypted, the OS decrypts the data.   The OS then copies the (decrypted) program data into the new task's pages.  This operation is completed one byte at a time using MOVB between the OS buffer and the new task, with comparisons for all respective boundaries for each byte.

 

To load a program from a device such as the SCSI card, we must account for any data copies from device to task.  Surprisingly, the OS must copy the data FOUR times on its journey from the device to the task  (five times if decryption is required): 

 

Device->internal DSR disk buffer->internal DSR local buffer->internal OS task buffer/staging area (PASDAT)->decrypt (if needed)-> task's destination memory

 

The buffer copies are typically MOVB loops since the source and target data may exist on even or odd boundaries. Slow RAM is typical for the source and target memory, and the majority of the DSR executes from slow RAM.

 

The BREAD and BWRITE routines are faster since the final buffer inspection/move is not required.  The PAB specifies the task's buffer address; the DSR moves the data to/from the buffer directly.  The IO operation looks something like this: 

 

  Device->internal DSR disk buffer->internal DSR local buffer-> task buffer (PASDAT)

 

GPL mode uses VDP RAM within the local task space, which to some extent is faster if only because the copy requires minimal paging interaction, however, as with the Geneve program and like all TI program image loaders, the files must still be inspected:

 

  Device->internal DSR disk buffer->internal DSR local buffer-> VDP memory location for the image file (PASDAT)-> Opt 5 loader copies from VDP to CPU ram destination memory

 

 

I'm not implying there is a problem with the OS nor that the data transfer rate is unacceptable.  And while there is some potential for additional improvement in the future, the important thing is that we can explain why the slight file IO delays exist.  OS overhead is the primary reason for the induced delays.

 

Lastly, a performance tip for those of you writing native OS based programs:  locate your data buffers on even word boundaries.  Doing this enables the OS to use 16-bit word copies (MOV) between the DSR buffer and task memory, and cuts the iterations in half.

I didn't know Geneve OS has Encryption?

[+9640News]

Geneve programs can be encrypted, not MDOS, to prevent sector editing of the program.

Beery,

  Are you the keeper of the MDOS manual?

  Do you have an 'up2date' Myarc Advanced Basic Manual? (I tried to keep up with the change this page, change that page program, but I'm not sure I was totally successful....)

Keeper of the MDOS manual, no.  If anyone has anything beyond a PDF of the original manual, I am not aware.

 

Jim Uzzell released his updates to various pages of the Advanced Basic Manual but nothing along the lines of a full text editable manual I have seen.  I have attached the pages Jim updated to this message.

Encryption was not done in the PAB, rather, a separate program that was released to be used by everyone.  There was also an unencrypt program someone wrote and released as well.

 

The first byte or two were modified of the program image file.  It's been awhile, so I do not know how the flag(s) were arranged.  Off the top of my head, I do not recall if it is in the DSR where the unencryption code was embedded, or whether  the encrypted programs were only loadable from the CLI and it unencrytped the program.

The decryption routine is in L9.LOADF2S and is signaled by the load address.   Unraveling the obfuscation (de-cryption)  is the inverse, shift, xor sequence in the source below.  John Johnson wrote a program called ENC that encrypts a decrypted program or decrypts an encrypted program, rendering the encryption moot back in the day.  The GPL program might be encrypted by its special linker, if I remember correctly, though I might have eliminated that from the process.  I'll have to look.  ENC pretty much halted most future use of this process.

Anyway, back to development, here's a brief update to round out the weekend: 

 

1. Modified new TIMODE2 command (which frees up 64K allocated to MyWord via TIMODE) memory allocation routine

2. Implemented TIPI mapped drives DSK1,2,3,4.  All opcodes available via Geneve OS.   Level 2 for /4A mode is partially implemented.

3. Updated REMAP command for TIPI mapped drive usage.  Letters W,X,Y,Z correspond to TIPI drives DSK1,2,3,4.  Redirection to drives other than 1-4 is pending finalization of the level 2 IO.

4. DIR command modified to allow TIPI mapped drives.  COPY command is pending further review.

5. Completed review of SCSI routine memory usage; hard-coded memory pages have been corrected to use defined EQUates to allow for future changes.

 

[+InsaneMultitasker]

Ran across a disk with the following two files related to the OS encryption process.  Long ago, probably during the GEnie online service period, I had asked JJ some questions regarding MDOS programming.  I was trying to figure out how to write native OS programs. He sent me some notes (the first spoiler) and the code to the ENCRYPT program (second spoiler).  I'm guessing this is from the very early 90s and while it may not be exactly how I write my own programs,  I still use his shared command line argument code and TTYOUT code to this day.

 

Tim,

I don't really have a good grip on mdos programs.  Most of the stuff is
just thrown together haphazardly and surprizingly runs!

The whole trick to writing programs that run from mdos is to use the xops
in the operating system for as much i/o, video work, etc. as possible.
Paul really did us a good job supplying us with a lot of useful routines.

The code included in this archive is for a program I wrote a few years
ago, called ENCRYPT.  It's the shortest code I have, and it's fairly
well commented.  There are i/o's for load/save, and unprotect, and a
memory reqest.   Realize that upon loading a program, mdos will allocate
enough pages for that program to reside in.  For instance, you write a
program that is 20k big.  It loads at >0400.  Mdos will allocate enough
8k pages to you automatically for the program to sit in.

If your program doesn't require any more memory than the memory it
occupies, then no further memory requests are required from mdos.

However, if you plan on using memory at the end of your program for
buffers, or whatever, you must request it.  If you want to establish an
8k buffer at >C000 for storing a hard disk track read for instance,
you'd ask mdos for one page using the memory xop.  Once you get that
page number, you'd write the byte to the mapper register for the
>C000 - >E000 area - place the byte returned from the mem XOP in >F116.
As a programmer, you don't really care what page was given to you.  If
you need two pages, one for track data read from winchester 1, and
the other a read from winchester 2, request 2 pages.  Save these two bytes
to locations in your program like W1PAGE and W2PAGE.  Now, when you want
to look at winchester 1 data at >C000, do a movb @w1page,@>f116.
To look at data in the w2page, just do a movb @w2page,@>f116.  The old
data in the w1page will not be destroyed, just mapped out of the
active 64k memory map.

So for a guy writing a word processor or disk copier that wants all the
memory available, just ask for it, then keep track of the bytes.

The mapper registers are hardware bytes that you can read or write to
from within your program.  Writing the byte >BA to >F110 would page the
actual DSRs from your pbox cards into the 64k memory at >0000 - >2000,
but would also crash mdos.

You can of course place any page into any memory map, but by not asking
mdos for the page number, you run the risk of destroying the mdos code,
or someone elses code or data if you are multitasking.

Hope this stuff helps,
jj
