Hi Stephen... I've been playing with your Gadget/Button files. Real nice - I
|
|
know I could do it myself, but is there any chance I could get a copy of your
|
|
lib when you're done (with some simple docs). No use reinventing the wheel.

Mark Some of the boot rom source is copywrite by Microware. The rest is
|
|
copyrite by Myself. The boot rom code is lisenced to IMS for the MM1 and I use
|
|
it in other places. I would prefer not publishing it.
|
|
|
|
The only thing that people would give-up is the single density modes. Since
|
|
the universal format doesent use track 0 side 0 the sacrifice of the single
|
|
density might not be so bad.

Kevin,
|
|
|
|
Well, since the boot ROM code is licensed to IMS, then I suppose I should
|
|
contact them about getting permission to publish the code in the tech manual.
|
|
|
|
If you think the users should be able to use 2.88 meg disks, then get going on
|
|
the driver.
|
|
|
|
BTW: did you ever get a complete schematic of the MM/1 printed? If so, can I
|
|
get one from you?

Mark it is not up to IMS to publish the source code. As a licensee of OS9 they
|
|
don't have any right to publish microware code. Why should they have a right to
|
|
publish the code that I have supplied them. I have licensed to them executable
|
|
code not source code.
|
|
|
|
Mark I long ago supplied complete schematics to IMS. I don't know what they did
|
|
with them.

Sb: #NEW Microware "Ultra C"
|
|
Fm: Jay Truesdale 72176,3565
|
|
To: all
|
|
|
|
I was browsing through a new magazine that I just started receiving at work
|
|
"Personal Engineering and Instrumentation News," when I happened across an ad
|
|
from Microware touting:
|
|
|
|
"A Truly *New* C Compiler Comes Along Only Once In A Generation.
|
|
|
|
Introducing ULTRA C. It lets you explore the boundaries of
|
|
performance for hard real time."
|
|
|
|
The ad goes on to say that most C compilers were written over ten years ago and
|
|
since then a lot has been learned about how to write better compilers and that
|
|
Microware has incorporated this knowledge into their new compiler.
|
|
|
|
"Microware's Ultra C uses a modular architecture that created a
|
|
virtual playing field for vigorous action by dozens of optimizers to
|
|
analyze, arrange, accelerate and compress code into fast, compact
|
|
executables. Heuristic analysis of register and variable usage FAR
|
|
SURPASSES THE CAPABILITIES OF WHAT HUMAN PROGRAMMERS COULD DO
|
|
THEMSELVES." (Emphasis Microware's)
|
|
|
|
I called Microware and asked about Ultra C. The scheduled release date is 21
|
|
September 1992 for the OS9 resident version. The next issue of "Pipelines" will
|
|
be dedicated to discussing Ultra C. Pricing and upgrade details have yet to be
|
|
determined.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Should be interesting!

A couple of months ago, I was talking to MW up in San Francisco. The guy I
|
|
talked to said there would be a new C Compiler come out "the last quarter of
|
|
this year".
|
|
|
|
I asked him how much it would run (as I told him it was absurd that they wanted
|
|
$800+ for the currently available C Compiler), and he said there was nothing
|
|
definite regarding price, but he thought it would run in the $500 range.
|
|
|
|
This new C Compiler really looks like something, based on what you have had to
|
|
say about it so far.
|
|
|
|
Thanks a lot for the info.

Ooooooo..! I thought it was that new SOFTWARE product: DOS PEROT.
|
|
|
|
When you start it up, it puts a message on the screen indicating that it's
|
|
_thinking_ about running, then it scans the system for any competing products.
|
|
If it finds any, of course it aborts!

Does anyone know how to get a program to run in the Supervisor mode? I am
|
|
trying to manipulate some of the on-chip peripherals of the 68070. I have
|
|
written a driver and descriptor but it does not work. Now I am writting a
|
|
simple program to try and solve my problem. If I set bit #5 of the Attr byte
|
|
then the program is in the Supervisor mode but hangs up the entire MM/1. But,
|
|
if I don't set the S bit and go into Sysdbg, I can step through the program
|
|
after setting the S bit and everything seems fine! What am I doing wrong? Any
|
|
suggestions?
|
|
|
|
Thanks

Thanks! I've asked Kevin, he hasn't done this yet! I'll try to figure it out.
|
|
I think the problem is once a process is in the supervisor mode, there is no
|
|
multi-tasking! Meaning I can't be in another window looking at that process
|
|
using sysdbg!
