A video of me staring at the screen and prodding keys would be very boring, believe me. :D

From what did you derive this conclusion? I'm busy implementing completely new control structures, and designing the pre-emptively multi-tasking kernel. Unfortunately it's slow, time-consuming work. ;)

Is this M1721A supposed to be able to display ST hi-res via the DSUB 15? I can get a picture, but can't adjust the phase / clock enough to get rid of the black vertical bars. Shame, because this would have been a nice all-round monitor for all 3 ST modes.

Functionality is limited, but you can close / open / full / restore / size / move windows and click desktop icons. File->Exit is functional, as are View->Icons and View->Text. There will certainly be a couple of small bugs, and problems with scroll bar positioning, etc, are known. Lack of RAM has prevented me from fixing these issues, and I'd rather move ahead to a cartridge build ASAP.

Load address is only $1200, so you'll probably have to boot the XEX. ;)

No właśnie takiego polecam - miał S-video i jakieś 8 lat temu kosztował ok. 300 zł.

I jakościowo nigdy nie narzekałem na jakość obrazu, zresztą można obejrzeć zdjęcia:

Kurcze, tak z ciekawosci jak Wam to dziala? Bo na czym bym nie probowal to w trybie kolorowym dostaje wylacznie 85...

I've only tested it briefly with 1bpp images... seems to work fine (it'll save me a lot of time when converting bitmaps for use with the GUI).

This is why they invented email. You can read them and respond to them any time - it's great. :)

I have sent email from an alternative address (see website).

Well - I'm getting somewhere with this anyway. My mistake was in using the SMB directive instead of .EXTRN to declare external symbols. The header bytes in the manual make complete sense now. I might be able to figure this out on my own after all. :)

Agreed. I know enough about certain aspects to contribute (especially SDX binaries), but a lot of stuff is probably very advanced even for programmers who can understand Polish. It's therefore hard to assimilate the text unless you know how to use the directives. I've asked Tebe if anyone's yet coded up a dynamic linker.

Hi - any MADS experts out there who can help me write a relocating linking loader for MADS' proprierary relocatable binary file format, please PM or email me at atari8.co.uk. The Google translated MADS docs are VERY hard going, and I need assistance with some of the finer details of the relocatable file format.

Any help will be greatly appreciated - this is for the GUI project. :)

In any case: I have a favour to ask. If there's anyone out there using SIDE with a VBXE machine, can you put the latest version of The Last Word on a SpartaDOS X formatted partition, run it from the hard disk, and tell me what happens.

Hi, 3.21b is just loading without any problem on SIDE+VBXE machine from my A:\PROGS\LW  subdirectory on SIDE SDX partition. Same for VBXE version of LW, no problem at all to load it.

Thanks Jacques. That's most helpful. Both my VBXE machines suffer a catastrophic crash if I try to load LW from the SIDE HDD when using production carts. I'm trying to trace the problem - looks like it's nothing to do with VBXE itself.

We could really do with someone who could duplicate the crash and then do a dump with a TurboFreezer or some such.

It's not only FDISK which won't run in 64KB under SIDE... try almost any executable which has to be loaded with the "X" command. MEMLO is too high... I spent time making efforts to lower it, but then the decision was made to rely on extended memory. I think there's a (not completely unreasonable) supposition that "serious" SDX users would likely intend to install or already have a memory upgrade. In any case, the driver code and partition table have to go somewhere.

In any case: I have a favour to ask. If there's anyone out there using SIDE with a VBXE machine, can you put the latest version of The Last Word on a SpartaDOS X formatted partition, run it from the hard disk, and tell me what happens.

I have APT (beta) running on IDE Plus, and can indeed swap media with SIDE and partition disks on IDE Plus using SIDE's partition editor. :)
