Allen Huffman's Maze Demo
|
|
From: CPERRAULT To: ALL
|
|
|
|
I recently downloaded Allen Huffmans Maze demo which is a
|
|
generator to make developing maze style games easier. The first thing
|
|
that popped in my head was..."Boy would it be nice to have a Dungeons
|
|
of Daggorath part 3, this time on OS-9". Really, the demo looks neat,
|
|
and I think the Coco is due for another sequel to perhaps the greatest
|
|
game Tandy ever made for the Coco. :-)

MM/1 System For Sale
|
|
From: ERNIEWITHERS To: ALL
|
|
|
|
If anyone's interested, I will have my 3 meg. MM/1 Extended system for sale
|
|
at the Atlanta Fest. The system is housed in an IMS case/power supply and
|
|
includes one 3-1/2" high density floppy drive, /t3, Microware manuals, the
|
|
HD boot ROMS (though I always have to boot from floppy to get a successful
|
|
boot), and a genuine Logitech Series 9 mouse. Currently installed on the
|
|
system is a 245 meg MAXTOR hard drive. I don't really want to sell the hard
|
|
drive but I could if you want it. Included is the MM/1 Technical Manual,
|
|
VED/68000 2.0, VPRINT, VMAIL, BGFX, Mike Haaland's Desktop, EthaGUI, DynaStar,
|
|
DynaForm, Write Right, Zapper, FBU from FHL, Variations of Solitaire from
|
|
ColorSystems, and TasCom from CoCoPro. All software includes original disks
|
|
and manuals. If you want the hard drive, it contains many, many public domain
|
|
utilities and programs for OSK and the MM/1.
|
|
|
|
I also have several different OS9/6809 programs and utilities for sale.
|
|
Included are ColorWare's DataMaster with update for Level II and DynaMite+
|
|
disassembler for OS9, FLEX, and RSDOS. I used DynaMite many years ago to
|
|
disassemble OS9 Profile and "repair" the check for a Color Computer because
|
|
I was using a WordPak II and the stock program wouldn't run. I was also
|
|
able to disassemble the Thexeder ROM pak and patch it to run from disk.
|
|
|
|
Though I won't be using OS9/68000 any longer, I will still be playing around
|
|
with OS-9000 on one of the '486 machines I own.
|
|
|
|
If you are interested in buying the system, leave me EMail. If I don't get
|
|
any responses, I probably won't be going to the 'fest.

James,

I am ALMOST certain that rz (same version and CRC) has done that for

me when downloading. Some of those UNIX types love to put hyphens

in filenames. It used to drive me (and "tar") nuts when they stashed

a couple "illegal" names in the middle of a tar archive too, but

"gtar" handles that now.

The problem is the lack of hardware handshking I expect. First, wire ALL

the mpi sockets together at pin 8 to carry the IRQ's thru. Then, it may be
|
|
that the converted modem pack doesn't have all the signals. They can be
|
|
juryrigged in if you can get to somebody who has a schematic for the deluxe
|
|
232 pack, just dup anything thats not in yours. Minimum connections are to
|
|
pins 2-3-4-5-6-7-8-20. Check the schematic for names and functions.
