Hi, MSXers.
The version 0.1.3 of UZIX is released.
Not many new additions, but a lot of bugfixes.
Anyway, it's not perfect yet. Although filesystem doesn't crash
too easily anymore, it still has bugs.
Release 0.1.3 contains an example of a CP/M program (M80) running
under UZIX BDOSEMU, bugfixes in kernel and bin-utils. Also, UZIX should
boot with DOS2 cartridges and in any MSX.
You wanna help UZIX development?
So, send bug reports (but, please, don't send reports of already
known bugs).
And, please, send detailed bug reports. Send bug reports of
consistent errors, so I can reproduce them at my MSX to debug and to fix
them.
I mean complete, clear, bug reports. Like this:
"I booted UZIX on my MSX, logged as root, everything gone fine, I
received sash prompt, typed 'ls -la' (but no RETURN yet), ejected the
disk, hit the RETURN key. After that, disk started spinning and I received
'PANIC: read error at drive 0, sector 1, id F9'. I tried more two times
(resetting MSX) and the same error happened. I didn't modified the
contents of the beta disk image. My MSX is a MSX T-R GT."
If you discovered a bug while booting UZIX, if you can, please
send the configuration of your MSX, the RAM and DiskROM slot. If you can
be alpha-tester for the fix of the bug you discovered, tell me.
Detailed bug reports make bugs more easy to be understood and
fixed, and took less time to be eliminated.
At this time UZIX must be debugged until perfection (or as close
as we can be to it...) to be enhanced. And bug reports are essentials.
