I haven't flashed my IDEa yet, but I'm seriously considering to do so.
Flash bios is stored in TMC 27PC512 chip, so for me it seems thast only 64kB EPROM

Just cut the supplied file in half and flash the first 64KB to the chip. ;)

Yes... don't use the 0.2 IDEa BIOS with new tools. KMK and I updated APT spec slightly, so results will be unpredictable. I promise to have the new BIOS uploaded over the weekend, when I find the energy. :)

BTW, grzybson: do you have a standard 128KB (E)EPROM in your IDEa?

Large (highly recommended) update: new PBI BIOS for Ultimate and Incognito, new SDX drivers for SIDE, SIDE2, Colleen, MyIDE and MyIDE II, and new customised SDX 4.46 builds with FDISK and tools on CAR: for Ultimate, Incognito, IDE Plus 2.0, SIDE, SIDE2, MyIDE, and MyIDE II. Toolkit ATR, manual and tech docs also updated.

Problem here could be related to use of very recent partition editor and ancient SIDE driver. :) It's likely that the old SIDE driver experiences some problems with the more recent tweaks to the partition table.

Give me one or two days, and you'll have brand new versions of both at atari8.co.uk. Just wading through the documentation and readme files at the moment. Latest SIDE driver is the smallest yet, although you're still better off using the Ultimate 1MB PBI BIOS instead if you have the hardware to hand. ;)

OK - thanks Sebastian. We'd better discuss both detection methods on IRC to save me messing around. ;)

Jon sprawdza tylko sygnature w biosie (ztcp) wiec jesli bios jest starszy niz ktoras tam wersja, to tej sygnatury nie ma

I'd prefer to check via hardware, if you have any ideas in that area.

Turn the SIDE 1 SDX off to avoid conflict. RTCs shouldn't be a problem. Just install the Ultimate RTC driver.

For info: uFlash binary currently occupies $2000-$94xx. "X" command is not required, and RC_GR8.SYS driver is NOT used in the most recent build.

EDIT: co do C-Drug, niektóre programy (np. MyDOS) przestają działać prawidłowo w obecności dodatkowej pamięci powyżej 64k (bo, o ile dobrze pamiętam, np. lda $FFFF,X gdy X>0 wypada w dodatkowym RAM-ie zamiast na początku tradycyjnego). Może to ta przyczyna?

That's correct, but I fixed it:

No improved, newer version exists yet. What price full time employment, I'm afraid. ;)

To repeat myself: I keep seeing RC_GR8.SYS in these CONFIG.SYS files. That lowers MEMTOP by 8KB. You'll find this is the source of your problems, not the small increase in MEMLO. ;)

w1k napisał/a:

i used normal config.sys from ROM:
DEVICE C:>SDOS>RC_GR8.SYS

Where do you think 8KB frame buffer lives for this driver, not to mention code to drive it? MEMTOP is dropped by 8KB, MEMLO raised somewhat...

Smaller FDISK will come eventually, but patience is required, since I have little time.

Pin napisał/a:

FJC - nawet w trybie BANKED sterownik SIDE/2.sys bardzo podnosi MemLo ... i o to przede wszystkim chodzi.

Well, not all of the driver can be stored in banked RAM. The internal sector buffer is stored there, and most of the code. I thought (guessing here) that maybe 700-800 bytes of conventional memory were consumed??? Code which banks in the banked parts and transfers data to and from areas which may lie under the banking window must remain in low memory. Anyway - it consumed less than 1KB last time I checked. Is this too much? I'm not sure how many resident programs one expects to cram into low memory on this platform. CONFIG.SYS may need to go on a diet...

side2.sys niestety podnosi dość MemLo ... no i fdisk.com ma duże wymagania w tym względzie. To już jest temat dla FJC.

Been over this before... best thing to do is install extra RAM and run SDX in extended memory. The SIDE driver isn't really intended to be used on a 64KB machine... at least I never intended it so.

@flashjazzcat
It's still CANDLE's software. Only the XEX loader and some extra features are written almost from scratch by me.
So,  it's up to You. You can do whatever you want :D but I'll recommend you to wait until i'll finish that. There is still some minor bugs, and missing features that I want.

Sorry - you misunderstand. I was referring to Candle's XEX loader, in light of comments that software was not centrally hosted. Haven't had time to try the amended loader...

My mistake for mentioning the core's existence... we have a phrase in the UK: "you can't miss what you never had". Anyway: perk of developing for the hardware, I suppose. :) Can't wait to see all the new VBXE development which happens when the new cores are released... we'll be flooded with software, no doubt. :D

SIDE1 and SIDE2 have a different SDX hardware base, so require two different SDX builds. As for the XEX loader: I'll gladly link to it from my website, but I won't host it... since it's not my program, and most recent version might change without my knowledge.
