Re: Dual MSX-AUDIO question
At 04:36 17-12-01 +, you wrote: This leads me to yet another slightly lame question - the player seems to support just about every sound standard possible (except OPM ;) ) and even has support for four SCCs and two MSX-AUDIOs. Now I understand how the SCCs work - they map into memory space so that's simply using the slot system. However, the MSX-AUDIO chip maps into I/O space (C0 and C1) which is global, so how does the program support more than one of them? Surely if I plug MSX-AUDIOs into both slots they will conflict with each other? This second MSX-AUDIO is an adapted version of MSX-AUDIO (Philips Music Module) that is mapped to I/O C2 and C3. I think there is an archive regarding this 'transformation' from MSX-AUDIO to MSX-AUDIO 2. It's called AUDIO1-2.PMA and is found on ftp://ftp.bifi.msxnet.org/waterland/MUSIC/AUDIO1-2.PMA IIRC it contains a text file and a Dynamic Publisher file which describes the changes.

Re: Dual MSX-AUDIO question
Richard, Yoa are right about i/o based devices being active in whatever slot you place them. The slot select system only affects memory space, not I/O space. It is therefore easy to get a conflict with overlapping i/o addresses, especially since not all manufacturers did a good job in decoding the i/o address. Quite often the decoding is so limited that a whole block of i/o addresses is occupied. It might be that a slight modification of the I/O addresses of one is required to have two Music modules working together with SMe. That mod was published with the SME editor. See my website for a pdf file. To disable a ROM to have just a SCC funtion, dont desolder the ROM but add a switch. Also documented. -- For info, see http://www.stack.nl/~wynke/MSX/listinfo.html

This email executes automatically in outlook and writes a kernel32.exe in your windows or windows\system32 directory, as well as add a 'run' registry key as 'kernel' with value 'kernel32.exe' so that it will be re-started the next time you boot.

Instead of saying hehehe you'd better point people to some useful stuff: This virus only -instantly- affects M$ outlook with PREVIEW panel ON. Otherwise you'd have to open te specific message to let the virus execute and then only if you allow PIF or SCR files to execute always without asking. So, I guess not much people got infected.

Hi, A combined reply: PIF's don't get opened automatically here. I got an pop-up dialog in which I could select 'open', ofcourse I didn't do it, heh, I'm dumb, but not a moron... Although... Ahwell.. that's something to discuss, but I think ppl who know a BIT about computers won't open that file manually, since it doesn't have a subject and it comes from a stranger, and they still got in mind not to interact with strangers, har! I think this is one of the worms that, in some Outlook versions, get executed automatically. The mime type says audio/x-wav which makes Outlook think it's safe, so it passes the file on to Windows which doesn't know mime types and looks at the .pif extension and then decides to execute it. This is a recently discovered Outlook/IE vulnerability. The list was already configured to block binary attachments. This has stopped quite a few worms in the last months. But since this one was multipart/alternative, which wasn't recognised as an attachment. Also, it was small enough to fit under the size limit. Just a thought: The majordomo has the list of ppl subscribed to this mailing list. Why not set up a filter that only accepts mails from a subscribed address. Hm, as I'm typing this, I already know the answer: it's pretty simple to fake a FROM field in a mail, so filtering on that won't do any good. That's not the problem. These worms are sent by infected machines, not by people with hostile intentions. It's a simple fixed algorithm, not some cracker trying to figure out a hole in the filters. Unless a mailinglist member's computer gets infected, the filter you suggest would block the worms. The problem with that filter is that many legitimate posters also use non-subscribed addresses, for example because they read mail at different locations or because sometimes someone who isn't subscribed wants to post an announcement. Good work Wynke but the users need to have a good Virus scanner. En keep it up to date. Actually, I think virus scanners are only a workaround. The solution to this problem would be more care for security from software manufacturers. It would help if more users would show some consideration for security, for example by making security on of the criteria for selecting their mail client.
