Well, most of the Z80 systems have only <=64k, so I think there is no kind of
bankswitchig. Of course, without memory expansion this systems will never run
with ELKS. That�s not my question.
One way might be to implement a bank switching model for embedded Z80 or
upgraded computers. This means to put the reference scheme into the kernel
documentation, and no other will work. (There�s an article about memory
expansion on Z80 in http://www.psyber.com/~tcj/tcjol.html -> dram.zip, but I
haven�t try�d it yet)
Is it worth all that work ?!? (I have no experience with this)
BTW: What�s the target of the ELKS Project, run it only on old computer or
use it on embedded homemade computers, too?
bye
