I found the problem.

Freenode doesn't like Opera in  Turbo mode.

Thanks

Re: CaChars - SCW-like screen characters for Color BASIC

Robert Gault — 2012-05-16T14:54:10

Juan,

I found the problem, I think. The Coco3 patches the code at $A910 rather than 
using the link at $1A0. So that

$A910   jsr $1A0

becomes

$A910   jmp $8C46

That means your program will need to test for the presence of a Coco3, i.e. if 
$FFFE=$8C1B you have a Coco3. If there is a Coco3, you patch $A911-$A912. If 
there is not a Coco3, then you patch as you currently do $1A1-$1A2.

I'll change your source code and test it.

Robert

Re: CaChars - SCW-like screen characters for Color BASIC

Juan Castro — 2012-05-16T14:07:28

I'm only testing if the four upper bits of the PIA at $FF22 are all ones.
Are you saying that can cause problems in the CoCo 3?

I can't delve into CoCo code here at work, I'll take a look at that when I
get home tonight. Meanwhile, what's the most canonical/portable way of
testing whether I'm running in a CoCo 3? (So I don't try to hook CLS's
vector if I am)

Thx,
Juan

Re: CaChars - SCW-like screen characters for Color BASIC

Robert Gault — 2012-05-16T13:31:36

Juan,

Seems to me that the CLS vector is still being used by the Coco3 but there is 
additional patching.

What may be an issue is TSTHIRES. The Coco3 definition of hi-res is to look at 
$E7 to see what screen mode is present: 0=low-res, 1to4=hi-res. That means you 
can't use the current TSTHIRES to replace the test at $8C46

  pshs cc
  tst <$E7

I think TSTHIRES is looking at the PIA to see whether low-res text or graphics 
is on.

software for Liber809

Re: CaChars - SCW-like screen characters for Color BASIC

Juan Castro — 2012-05-16T01:50:23

Well, I just found out the CoCo 3 destroys the capability to hook CLS. The
patched code doesn't bother to call the RAM vector. That's, like, rude, man.

OK, I'll just define CHR$(12) (Form Feed) as the CLS character.

While I'm not officially management I do know for a fact that they have no
objection and will at a personal level do what's in their ability to assist
in making the web feed a success. Keep in mind the internet bandwidth is
provided as a courtesy by the hotel and they make no promises about throughput
or latency and I would bet that outbound bandwidth is going to be slow. If
those watching and casting can work with those limitations it won't be a
problem.

One thing to consider is that in the past Boisy has voiced objections based on
his concern that it will cause people to watch the stream and not actually go
to the fest. I hope that the streaming serves to increase interest in the fest
and causes more people to go rather then serve as a way for people to "attend"
without actually going! Remember the fest is supported by people going,
interacting, buying product from vendors and the auctions and this means being there!

Steven Hirsch — 2012-05-15T11:59:50



I do plenty of web searches.  If there's anything that's become clear in 
15-odd years of searching, it's that some folks have a knack for finding 
exactly the right keywords and some don't.  I tend to over-think search 
terms and generally fall into the latter group.  My track-record at 
finding things is not particularly good.

The subject of processor swaps comes up repeatedly on the Apple 2 forums 
and far smarter folks than I had concluded it wasn't workable.  In 
retrospect, that may be due to the A2's requirements for video generation.

I'll mention the above page and see what folks think.

One possibility is that DW isn't able to set the proper parameters on

some other things that would show up there, so a good place to look.
Another possibility is that my test just isn't quite right, or your
coco sends a value I have not seen before on power up.  In that case,
it might work just fine despite failing the wizard's test.
Worth a shot to just pretend it worked and insert a disk, do a DIR.

Re: Drivewire 4 having trouble detecting my serial port

Fred D. Provoncha — 2012-05-15T03:51:56

Thanks Chris, Stephen, Aaron for your help, apparently changing the 
permissions on the /dev/ttyUSB0 file did have an effect. Drivewire can 
now recognize ttyUSB0. However, I'm not quite there yet. I ran into 
another, possibly related problem.

After getting Drivewire to recognize ttyUSH0, I proceeded with the 
configuration program. I get to the part where the program asks me to 
connect the cable to the Coco and turn it on. Drivewire then listens for 
a code to be transmitted to Drivewire through the cable from the Serial 
Port on the Coco when it's turned on in order to test the connection. 
Well, Drivewire never receives the signal and it times out. Four 
possibilities come to mind:

1) Cable not connected properly.
2) Cable is defective/damaged.
3) The Serial I/O port on the Coco is defective/damaged.
4) Some other possibility I haven't thought of.

I'm pretty sure #1 isn't the issue. I verified all my connections and 
everything looks snug & correct. I don't think it's #2 since a close 
inspection of

Although it is no substitute at all for being there, I will be doing
some live feeds from the fest (provided that is acceptable to The
Management).  They will be available on http://cococoding.com when the
time comes.

Some of us at the fest hang out in the IRC channel as well, #coco_chat
on freenode or if you're not the IRC type you can use a web browser:
http://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=coco_chat
I generally have a machine displaying the chat where anyone at the
fest can walk up and say hello.

Re: Kinda off-topic, kinda crazy question about the Liber809

James Igou — 2012-05-15T00:03:08



Actually, comparing the 65C816 to the 6502,
they do seem to have a lot of compatible signals.
Boisy has posted the schematics for the Liber809.
Maybe its time to do a little research.

There IS one big problem:
Its the same one that effectively prevents a 3.58 MHz 63C09E 
Like the Color Computer, virtually all the clock signals in an 8 bit Atari
Are derived by dividing a single clock. So memory, CPU, and video timing are 
All interrelated.

You can't just increase the CPU speed.

BTW - This swap has been done by a Commodore hacker (don't you do web searches).
