Hi,
I'm looking for someone who has a Novaxis interface to do a
little test for me. The test is just executing a program and sending
me the results. Oh, and the user must have patience, because I'll
insist in new tests until everything goes fine. :)
Interested? Great.

Copy these files to a MSX disk and run it with your Novaxis.
It should: find your Novaxis, ask the ID of a valid device (use your
HD or ZIP, not a CDROM or Novaxis itself!), ask if you want to read
the physical sector 0 of device (see next paragraph), ask a partition
(absolute) number (it will show the primary/extended partition numbers
- please, check its correctness!), present the given partition start
and size (in sectors), ask a sector number in this partition and
presents the contents of the sector. The contents of the sector must
be what you expected (use any tool to read this sector (Compass?) from
a drive that has the partition selected and compare them).
For first test, answer Y to the question about reading the
physical sector 0 of device. It should not fail. After the dump of
sector contents, press any key to finish the program and do a
BSAVE"NOVSEC0.BIN",&HB100,&HB2FF and send it to me, please.
About partition numbers: I can't guarantee that it will
work. The routine works for standard partition formats (and I know
that Novaxis can use three different types of partition table), and
I think it will work for "Extended" type. If you have an "Old MSX"
or "Old PC" partition table, dump it (reading physical sector 0 and
"bsaving" it) and send it to me, please.
If the program fails in any part, please report where, what
you typed, what was presented and the error code (if available).
Thank you,
