Hi!
A while ago I tried to run BCF Disk Station 6 on my MSX. I got this
diskimage from the MCCM cd Millennium. When I tried it on an emulator
the screen was totally corrupted, due to some bugs in fMSX. When I got
home I tried it on my SOny G900P. There I got a strange error:
Bad file mode in 5. In line 5 there was a BLOAD command. But the file
that should be BLOADed there, was indeed binary! I didn't get it...
Now, last week, I tried it again on my Sony 700. It worked fine!
So I took it to my Sony G900p, and again: the error.
But (one gets creative in finding errors!) after removing my Music
Module it worked fine!
When I looked at the AUTOEXEC.BAS, I saw the following POKE command in
it: POKE -54,35 that was only executed if a Music Module was connected
(something like: IF INP(&HC0)<>255 THEN POKE -54,35)). This is the poke
to let a MSX Audio emulate a MSX Music, if I'm not mistaken. I've asked
about this POKE earlier on the Mailinglist, but then I also couldn't get
it working on my particular Sony G900P. And indeed: when I remove this
POKE, the BCF DiskStation 6 works fine. So it seems that this pokes
severely affects the diskoperations! In fact, all diskoperations fail or
do very strange after this poke! E.g. when I do: (with a Compile
diskmagazine in drive a:)
POKE -54,35
CALL SYSTEM
then the computer hangs after displaying "LOADING DS .... (something)"
Without the POKE, it runs fine!
So, what could be the cause of the fact that this poke messes up my Sony
G900P diskrom/diskfunctions?
Maybe you know it, Alwin, since you modified it?
