That's me in now. That's quite impressive. Although I'm not sure what to do now I'm logged in, other than $ more README .

as per Jarod yesterday: here at the museum, the networks are 1-6, plus a couple of networks brought in by folks today 17 and 32. these networks have been translated to 20+ their original network. so for example, 6.253 TNMOC here should be addressed as 26.253 Ah. I wasn't aware of that. I'm now gett...

Success , Finally I climb aboard out of the drink ! Safe on onboard ship , thanks for pulling me out Chris and Jarod. IMG_20240519_114059.jpg IMG_20240519_114413.jpg Nice. I'll hopefully see you browsing 63.1 at some point! If you are able to connect to it, machine 12.254 should be of interest. You...

If ic 14 made little difference then I would work on one ram bank at a time. It looks like it could be a memory read error but if you put s25 south and redo the tricky ROM video that would help Position of S25 makes little difference. I think my next step will be to replace IC45. The schematic refe...

Some of the IC numbers you've quoted don't align with the schematic part number. Yeah, that's AutoCorrect, I was typing it on the phone #-o It should be IC44 / 74LS74 and IC41 / 74LS02. IC42 doesn't have anything to do with RAM, it's all about serial/cassette timing. Don't replace that unless you h...

Excellent. I couldn't resist. It's now on my PiFS, ready for the Econet LAN party.

I'm embarrassed to announce 14.22 alpha 56 , which fixes a long-standing bug in save/restore for Z1 and Z2 games. (The conditional assembly to handle the different versions simply didn't recognise Z1 and Z2 as possibilities, so some code at the start of the subroutines for save/restore was missing....

Thanks Ken! Looking at the BUILD file on your zipped .adf image, it says the filename is zork1-rs-sAS000C.z1. Is that right? Is it this .z1 version which is hanging or it is the z5 we confirmed the sha256sum of earlier? Edit: Aha, this does indeed lock up for me on "save" (on a simple emu...

Firstly, when I said that Shadow memory was inactive, what I meant was that the base machine was running in a non shadow mode. So, before I stared loading the game, screen was set to MODE 7 and HIMEM was sitting at &7C00. As you point out, shadow ram was available to be used. I've just upgraded ...

I grabbed that file myself, is this the version you have? $ sha256sum games/zork1-invclues-r52-s871125.z5 07ba90fc9f214fba9532228a3c0ba1230eeeacf5b8dfad5d9d721762aaa5f9b4 games/zork1-invclues-r52-s871125.z5 Yup: c:\Ozmoo\downloads>certutil -hashfile zork1-invclues-r52-s871125.z5 sha256 SHA256 hash ...

A new --no-integra-b-private-ram option is available which will cause Ozmoo to avoid using the Integra-B private RAM. This does not disable other Integra-B support, so Integra-B shadow and sideways RAM will still be used even if this option is specified. Out of interest, what was the driver for add...

I’ll still see what I can shave off the loader, though, as it’s a bit tight…

Thanks! That's it installed and tested, ready for TNMoC Econet Party!

MarkMoxon wrote: ↑Wed May 15, 2024 10:05 pm Good point! Though if the file is exactly &200 bytes, isn't that OK, as it will go from &B00 to &CFF inclusive, won't it?

Yup, I edited my post when I realised that!

Thanks Mark. I'm in the process of installing this to my PiFS, and I'm following the instructions to patch the home directory (for me it's $.Games.Elite). However, I notice that the EliteB file is &1FE bytes long, and my patch will increase the file length by two bytes, to &200. I'm guessing...

I also have a permissions query. I've created a new user, which creates the user home directory. SYST can save to the directory, but the user has Insufficient Access. Is that correct behaviour? The documentation suggests *NEWUSER will set ownership correctly: NewUser2.JPG [+ 406.480011] tid 7200 FS ...

Right, I should be able to do that, but it might be later in the week before I can get that all set up...

Yeah, no chance of that booting with so many memory errors. The two places I look first are IC14/74LS245 and IC45/74LS139. In my repair notes I have lots of failures of IC43/74S04, IC42/74LS02 and IC43/74LS74. If someone else has been at it before, it's worth checking anything they have done, caref...

I've got a beeb here that's not working. I've worked my way through the Service Manual, and all the bits I can check seem to be working ok. The various clocks are all working, RnW is working, reset is working. Horizontal and Vertical sync signals (IC39 pins 39 & 40) are there. CPU sync pin (pin ...

Hi Mark, Just a quick note to let you know that this is working perfectly on my PiFS. It now loads with my IntegraB board set to OSMODE4 - both using real hardware and on BeebEm. Thank you for investigating and fixing the issue =D> =D> =D>. I'm not sure what made me think it was working on the disc ...

Is there a simple way to get a full list of all the configured users and their home directories? I've had a look at the Passwords & MDFSPasswords files, but neither of these are particularly readable.

Thanks.

That's weird. This is what I see, with v2.1-pre (albeit, a slightly older version):
I'll download the very latest and see if it makes any difference...

Edit: Works perfectly for me with the very latest software too, so not sure what's going wrong for Ian.

the instructions say to "bridge JP1" ... but JP1 is a three-pad thing. Bridge all the pads? Are the instructions wrong and should say "JP2" everywhere not "JP1" ? This is a "Combo AUN Bridge 4" board which I thought was the latest, but then I hear there's som...

Will you be going ahead with this project? I've ordered a couple of boards to see how they perform. I'm a bit worried I may not have the clock phases quite right, but I'll soon find out. I guess I could try to figure it out by building timing diagrams, but I'll probably just wait until the boards a...

Hi can you get audio out of the hdmi port? Also do you support any other audio output devices other than the headphone socket? Unfortunately, I don't think it's possible to get audio out from the hdmi port. In addition to getting audio out via the headphone socket, one audio channel is also routed ...

Hi all, Received my Shifter and working great on a 3B+. Only challenge is getting the M3000 working (M5000 is working great). I came across this thread : https://www.stardot.org.uk/forums/viewtopic.php?p=395409&hilit=m3000#p395409 Which suggested to get these discs : https://github.com/stardot/...

Oh, that's interesting. Is that both a beeb and your Piconet that fail to communicate with your bridge? Do you have anything that is able to communicate with your bridge? Can you check that the hub termination is switched off. Also, if you split the bridge from the hub, and just connect your devices...

I've been looking into this, and I've found the reason for the crash. It looks like the IntegraB board's software stores a handler routine between locations &0880 and &08AC (the MOS printer buffer) and points the CLIV vector here, so the code gets called whenever an OS command is run. The c...

I agree with the method suggested by Wiggy. I do the same when using tuned pin SIL headers. However, if you do want to go down the DIL header path, then ssk these guys for a quote. I find them to be very reasonable: https://www.e-tec.co.uk/product/298630/1524mm-pitch-2-row-vertical-through-hole-ic-s...

For MMFS2, I think your card needs to be formatted FAT32. Then it's just a case of adding .ssd / .dsd files to the root of your SD card. You can probably add then to a specific directory, but I can't remember what the beeb command is to change directories. *DCAT should then list all the files and th...
