Hopefully last update for a while. :-) changes http://fdos.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/fdos/trunk/source/BASE/devload/devload.asm?r1=137&r2=141
download http://www.fdos.org/kernel/testing/devload-3.25.zip This fixes a few issues from previous 3.24 release: - if initial CDS entry is invalid (already at end of available drive letters) will correctly detect error - if character device loaded successfully returns 0 - if block device loaded successfully will return 1-26 corresponding to A: to Z: of first block driver loaded (block driver value overrides any previous successful character driver) - all errors and failures to load should return 255 (this release fixes one error case I missed before where driver loaded fine but did not want to stay resident) - should improve multi-unit driver loading, see below bug, but at least won't continue to reuse the same letter. This version still has a known error with regard to CDS (drive assignment) - all drive letters are assigned successively (ie E: F: G:), if LASTDRIVE is reached it will gracefully handle that, but if there is a hole between used drive letters but it is not big enough for all units then it will replace the existing assignment (.e.g. if current is C: D: F: and a driver is loaded with 3 units it will use E: F: G: - i.e. F: is replaced). I am not sure the best fix, either error/warn and stop loading (probably best) or skip past used letters (so would be E: G: H:) but could cause weird behavior as most drivers will probably only keep 1st drive + count. This of course is untested as I still need to setup a test disk with a multi-unit driver.
