Hi,
|
|
|
|
There are two forums which discuss CD-i and VOD on CIS (acronym overload :)
|
|
|
|
One is the Video Games Forum, Section 6. This section is devoted to
|
|
CD-i from a user's point of view.
|
|
|
|
The other is the Multimedia Forum, Section 17, where CD-i is discussed
|
|
in a technical fashion. I read both since my interests lie in the
|
|
technical and user ends.
|
|
|
|
Good luck.

Hallo all,
|
|
|
|
we are a multimedia developer working with Philips CD-I.
|
|
We are using a CD-I 605 player with CD-RTOS and want to install a HP 35480A
|
|
SCSI DAT Drive for backup. The problem is that the descriptors for exabyte and
|
|
viperdrives do not work.
|
|
So my question is, wether anybody has written such a descriptor or knows a
|
|
source who can provide one.
|
|
I hope somebody can help me with that,
|
|
|
|
|
|
Christoph.

I have the source. I saw where this was done. If you missed my original post,
|
|
I had not nulled out my echo.. I had not realized that it worked the way it
|
|
does.

Yeah, I see that now. I didn't realize that was the way it worked.

I had mine exit on "NO DIAL TONE". I set up a config file, to look for each
|
|
BBS, with a # of attempts to try.. I let it be infinite if this # wass
|
|
negative. It would keep trying as long as it saw "BUSY" or "NO CARRIER". Yes,
|
|
and if "NO ANSWER", it would set the count to 1 and try once more, then exit.

|

It might be a good idea.. Do we have a need for a fairly elaborate external
|
|
autodialer? I had thought of developing mine to a pretty neat thing, but, if
|
|
you have already done it, there would be no need.
|
|
|
|
Ummm, about the switch() thing.. I can't think of anything to do except keep
|
|
dialing on "nonfatal" responses or exit on "fatal" ones.

To follow up on my previous post concerning the CoCo3 emulator (that will run
|
|
OS9 LII), the latest version of the CoCo2 emulator (which will run OS9 LI and
|
|
includes information on ordering the CoCo3 emulator) has been uploaded to the

CoCo Forum. Check out message #27325 in the CoCo Forum (GO COCO).

I've got a 6809 emulation 100% up and running on my Amiga. I have it booting to
|
|
Flex (TSC's old OS). Works fine, and gave me access to all my old 6809 source
|
|
code, which is very nice.
|
|
|
|
Now, I'd like to get OS9 for the 6809 up and running on it. I have an old
|
|
version fo the CoCo, but frankly it never worked very well - I probably have
|
|
too early a copy (like, the day it first appeared in stores). Further, at least
|
|
at this point, I don't much want to extend the emulator to "be" a CoCo. Lots of
|
|
work there to make it work right, and the current emulation is very efficient
|
|
and fast - it wouldn't be so nice with all that specialized hardware emulation
|
|
built in, I'm sure.
|
|
|
|
So again, the system looks like a 64k 6809. I have Psymon as a boot monitor,
|
|
and can extend it or replace it, either way - assuming I have something to
|
|
replace it WITH, of course. :-)
|
|
|
|
Any suggestions?

PowerBasic is the only native (68000) code BASIC compiler for use with
|
|
the OS-9/68000 Operating System.
|
|
|
|
------
|
|
|
|
I've just uploaded information on PowerBasic to DL12. Two files, one
|
|
gives the promo information and the other covers a introductory offer
|
|
that saves you $50 if ordered by the end of the month. Over the next
|
|
several days I will be uploading a more complete technical spec and
|
|
examples in PowerBasic source and object that you can try on your own
|
|
computer. I've downloaded a whole bunch of Basic09 programs from the DL
|
|
here and I plan to use some of them as examples also. My intent is to
|
|
see and show what is involved in converting regular Basic09 type
|
|
programs to PowerBasic and what speed and size advantages there are. If
|
|
you have any other suggestions you would like to see me try please let
|
|
me know.
|
|
|
|
I got my copy of PowerBasic just before Thanksgiving and have been
|
|
getting up to speed on it. So far I like it very much. The compiler runs
|
|
fast and the resultant code generated is also fast. Much much faster
|
|
than Basic09. I've been having fun looking at the '.a' files to see what
|
|
assembler code is generated by PowerBasic and to watch how changes in
|
|
the Basic program effect the assembler code. PowerBasic makes this easy
|
|
because the Basic source line is inserted into the '.a' file as a
|
|
comment.
|
|
|
|
PowerBasic object is stand alone, no 'runb' type of thing is needed. I
|
|
like this because it keeps the whole project as one program. No need to
|
|
worry about having all the pieces needed to make something work.
|
|
|
|
I'm looking for feedback so please feel free to ask questions and make
|
|
suggestions.
|
|
|
|
Thanks
