/XMEM

2004-03-24 Thread Edwin Blink
Thanks for trying. Nev,Geoff I was looking for info about the /XMEM signal as the manal is not very informative. Does anybody know the implementation of it? or has a schematic of the 1Meg expansion or original Soft Rom board in which this signal is also used ? Edwin

IIRC, the XMEM line goes low when the external memory area is addressed (upper 32k of the memory map, with external memory turned on in HMEM). The external memory addressing is controlled by two latches at ports 128 and 129 (XMEML and XMEMH), which decide which 16k page of the external memory is

Thanks for the braindump Simon But your talking about the decoded signals decoded by the interface. What i need to know is the ASICs implementation of the /XMEM signal. ie is it just a bit that can be turned on and off or if it is fully encoded with A15 /MREQ (//RFS?) NVG is back online. and I

I've also added BeOS R5 and QNX binaries to the download page at http://homepage.ntlworld.com/simon.owen/sam/simcoupe/ I've got a provisional OS X version too, but am holding that back until a strange performance problem is fixed. I'm hoping to have access to a Mac in work soon to fix that...

I think you should use official test method (see DX SDK), or don't test DX version at all. Otherwise you never know when you encounter some problems again. I think the only 100% valid solution is to check that the needed COM interfaces are all present. DX is based on well defined COM interfaces,

Decided do some tests with a LED hooked up to /XMEM (with a 330 ohm resistor in series) Whenever the /XMEM line gets active low the LED would ilLuminate. Once bit 7 of HMPR port was set the LED would light up with any combination with address line 15 high: I/O ports 8000+ Refresh with I
