The program should then test the memory between those two addresses. To test the memory the program should write to the location, read the value back from the location and compare the two values to test for an error. The program must test each location with the following 4 values: ffh, 00h, aah and 55h. If an error is found the program should output to the crt the following info: 1.

When equipped with the 5.25", it was alternately referred to as the DEM-II (Disk Expansion Module). Both had one floppy and one hard disk.

I did, about 1987 when I got my PCW 8512. You can use it from Turbo pascal, assembler, C etc as long as you can do a BDOS call (its an RSX, so you call it just like the rest of the operating system. Or, if you have CBASIC you get some cute bolted on keywords to do it a bit more pleasantly. My advice is - STEER CLEAR OF GSX !!! It is ultra buggy. It was developed for Digital Research by anothe company, way back when. The other company never finished it. DR released it anyhow. They later abandoned it and no applications are available other than the original 2 - DR Graph (which is OK when it works) or DR Draw (which has more bugs than a nest of cockroaches and falls over all the time). GSX is a minimal implementation of GKS (the 2-D version) as of about 1982. It is dependant on suitable drivers: Amstrad in their infinite wisdom provided teeny drivers that do nothing. For example, there are no input devices - a bit of a problem there. And, doing a filled area on the screen gives you... an outline. No filling supported. To be fair, you get better drivers with the 2 aforementioned DR programs. DR had to bundle drivers because the Amstrad versions were so poor that the DR programs couldn't run with them. Oh, and on a 2.8 MHz (effective...) Z80, software which does lots of floating point maths and is written in a very old version of ratfor (!) tends to be, how shall I put this, a bit slow. It can't selectively update the screen, either, it has to redraw the lot. The DR programs use it for all their user interface.... If this still hasn't put you off, go ahead !! Some of the old magazines ran articles about using GSX - however I gave away my old collection of PCW file, 8000 Plus, PCW user etc (dating back to 87) when I moved house ... sorry .

They can convert their voltage to 120 volts but the power line frequency is 50 hz. These computers have the Shugart 800 drives. According to the Shugart manual, they will run on 50 Hz but need a different motor pulley to get the spindle speed corrected. If we do not change the motor spindle, will the machines still work? As I see it, if you were to format and use the disk from the beginning on 50 hz, all you would do would be to have the density on the disk go up 6/5 ths and the gap between the start of a track and the end would be longer. This does not seem to be a problem. If you put a disk that has been formatted at 60 hz and data put on at 60 hz. into a machine running on 50 hz, will the disk controller chip deal with the 5/6 ths slower data rate? Once over there, the users will have little need to move the disks back to a 60 hz machine. Can we do a one time transfer? Any experience on this rather obscure matter would be appreciated.

If > we do not change the motor spindle, will the machines still work? As I understand it, and I may be wrong, your going to need the 50 Hz spindle to make the drives work. There is more to worry about than just data rates. The Index hole is used by both the drive *AND* the 820 to determine if the drive is ready. I suspect that if you used 60 Hz drives at 50 Hz, you will be forever stuck in a 'drive X not ready' fault. You would be best off using 5.25" drives, which use DC power. On the down side, you can store very little data on the disks. If my own memory serves, 80 Kb single sided and ~170 Kb double sided. Also note that ROM level 1.x supports 3 single sided drives, while ROM level 2.x supports 2 single or double sided drives. If you need any more information on the original Xerox 820 (it was not called the 820-1 :-) send me a note.

I have several slightly different versions of M80. Some seem to chop all symbol names, PUBLIC and undeclared, down to 6 bytes. Others go to 7 bytes internally, but when writing the REL file, chop it down to 6. I have none that actually write 7 byte symbols to the REL file. 1) Is there some reason for this? Some constraint that I'm not aware of? 2) If not, are there some patches for M80 to enable 7 byte PUBLIC symbols?

The only programs I know of that use GSX (on a Rainbow 100, right?) are Lotus 1-2-3 and Lotus Symphony for CP/M. 1-2-3 is version 1.3, and Symphony is at version 1.0 ....Symphony for MS-DOS is ver.1.1, and simply uses its own low-level interface to the Graphics card.

I use a z-system for the TRS-80 Model 4 (without a realtime clock) which I did not put together myself and which includes Z80DOS 2.4. I downloaded Z80DOS10.LBR, SDATE10.LBR and Z8D-UTL1.LBR but could not make the utilities work together: Initdir sets up an additional dummy directory entry for every three existing entries, into which the datestamp is put. With Datereg installed, I could get SDATE10 to set the date of the disk volume, and TIME would display the date correctly. If I set the date with TIME, however, and then read it back, I got a garbled result. SAVESTMP saved the datestamp in a position within the dummy directory entry which was different from that where SDATE10 put it. Z80DOS appears to datestamp files, as they are accessed, with the date set by SDATE10, but neither the TDIR-CPM nor the TDIR-Z3 utilities would display the dates in the directory; instead, the computer hung. I could not get any of the aliases in MODDATE to work. Has anyone any suggestions on how to get these utilities to work correctly? Is there a different set of utilities for Z80DOS 2.4?

I started on one to test cp-emulate but the test suite seems like more work than the emulator itself. The BIOS is fudged so I'm not suprised that it isn't bullet proof but I would be interested to know where you found shortfalls. As for self-modifying code as long as it keeps away from the BDOS and BIOS it should work fine. >I'm not proposing to fix all of this myself, but am very interested >in CP/M (and eventually Z System) emulation under Unix and think this >forum might be an excellent place to continue the project.

As long as I get feedback I will continue to work on cp-emulate as time permits. Although I have no specific need any more for a CP/M emulator I still have the interest. In fact I think I'll pull it out and have another look at it tonight. -- D'Arcy J.M.

Miller) Subject: TeleVideo 803, QTERM, and termcap Message-ID: <1991Nov24.202810.3810@mel.dit.csiro.au> I have a TS803 running all by itself and doing fine. I have used David G's QTERM a number of times quite successfully, primarily for download (SIMTEL). My wife "owns" this machine, and has just discovered my Unix box. I connected the two permanently, showed her how to use QTERM, and off she went (vi and rogue in particular). Now I find that there appears to be a termcap problem. I have played around with it some. I find the tvi925 entry (as modified for my actual 925) to work nearly perfectly. It has one problem, for which I'm looking around now. Upon a clear-screen/home, in 'vi' or rogue, it eats some characters from the first line. Appears to be the second through about fifth or so. I've tried various padding, eliminating the 'ho' entry (leaving it to use 'cm' with padding), etc. but to no avail. I have the hardware manual for the 925, but that hasn't helped. I don't have the manual for the 803, at least not a hardware one, listing the cursor-control sequences. Is this caused by QTERM? Anyone have either a manual or a working termcap entry for this combination? All I'd need from the manual is the control sequence listing (although DIP-switch description wouldn't hurt!). Thanks much. My wife thanks you too. Sigh--another Rogue Monster.

Pullen Subject: Xerox 820/II I am going to become an owner of a Xerox 820/II in the very near future, and I have a question for the 820 owners out there. What type of printers do these units support? I presently have a Panasonic KX-P1090 (Centronics interface) with an installed serial interface. Will the unit work with that type of printer, or does it require a centronics interface? I recall that a special cable was required when I transferred some software to the system I am getting for its original owner several years ago. This cable connected to a double row male set of pins at the rear of one of the boards. I would assume that is a centronics parallel cable connector. I did not get into the printer installation at the time. And the owner bought a printer, but has never connected the computer to a printer. Can you address a serial port for the printer, as my Kaypro does, or is it a strictly parallel connection. If the cable needed (if only parallel), is it still available or do I have to modify a cable such as the ibm (BAH HUMBUG) to go to the centronics input on the printer. Basicly I would build an adaptor from the double row connector to the 25 pin D connector. Any assistance will be greatly appreciated. ---------------------------------- Paul Pullen United States Army Chemical Research, Development and Engineering Center pvpullen@crdec2.apgea.army.mil (410) 671-2519 /(410) 671-4174 ---------------------------------- ------------------------------ Date: 27 Nov 91 09:37:46 GMT From: hoptoad!curt@ucbvax.Berkeley.EDU (Curt Mayer) Subject: Z[2]80 disassembler posted to alt.sources Message-ID: <23176@hoptoad.uucp> excerpted from the readme file: README - readme file for Z80/Z280 disassembler ---------------------------------------------- This package contains an intelligent Z80/Z280 (compile-time selectable) disassembler for CP/M .COM files.
