[MSX] MSX-Audio BIOS upgrade for Music Module
Hi I played with tthe MM to audio conversion a bit today. I NEED HELP!! Should 74ls139 pin 8 be grounded? (YES) I build it with a 32k sram grounding the 2 extra adresslines (what a waste, but I have them in ample supply old 286/386 motherboards) It did not work Running SUPPER-X I found the sram mapped mirrored to ,2000,4000,6000,8000,A000. Sram is stable I could not read anything else (see the eprom)( 1000, 3000 etc is FF) I switched the CS (CE) signals! 27C256 pin 20 to 74LS139 pin 11 61256 pin 20 to 74LS139 pin 12 Now Sram is mapped Mirrored to 1000, 3000, 5000, 7000, 9000, B000 Sram is stable I do read data on (,2000,8000, A000),(4000,6000) () mirrored inside the pair Call Audio still does not work. I know the mirroring of the eprom can be due to the mappertype and super-x readig it unmapped What is wrong??

Re: [MSX] MSX-Audio BIOS upgrade for Music Module
FRS Thanks for teh reply, no luck yet Where did you connected the pin-15 of the 74LS139? It must me connected to the pin-20 of the eprom soquet on the MM. Connected correctly Please note that the pin-20 of both 27C256 and the SRAM must not be connected to this same pin, but to the pins 12 ans 11 of the 74LS139, respectively. If i connect them 27256 to pin 12 and 61256 tp pin 11 then the sram is mapped to ., 2000 etc If I connect them 27256 to pin 11 and 61256 to pin 12 then the sram is on 1000, 3000 etc Also check the A13 pin of your 27C257, as it may be connected to the wrong place. A13 to 74LS193 pin 3 Maybe its short-circuited somewhere? Are the A12 and A13 lines short-circuited? Because they must not be. Can't see any On the msxaudio-BIOS.gif file, the only lines short-circuited are the Y like ones that have the same color. There are only two of them, labeled /CS Soquete (pin-20) and IC3, pin-1. Fine Call Audio still does not work. ___ MSX mailing list (msx@stack.nl) Info page: http://lists.stack.nl/mailman/listinfo/msx
Re: [MSX] MSX-Audio BIOS upgrade for Music Module
Hi I found the error. In the gif file of the schematic A13 of the erom shows it should not be connected! This is wrong! A13 pin 26 of the 27c256 should be insterted into the eprom socket! All is fine now!! Thanks FRS!

I haven't tested this IC. After some googling it seems to be 61256 equivalent. Looking at the datasheet, theorically it can work. I played with tthe MM to audio conversion a bit today. I NEED HELP!! Ok, let's see if I can help. :) Should 74ls139 pin 8 be grounded? (YES) Yes, it MUST! The pin-8 of the 74ls139 is THE ground pin of this CI. Sorry if I didn't let this clear on the documentation. The standard pins GND and Vcc of all CIs must be conected for any circuit to work. I'll revise that on the documentation to avoid confusion. I build it with a 32k sram grounding the 2 extra adresslines (what a waste, but I have them in ample supply old 286/386 motherboards) You don't need to ground them, just conect to the respective pins on the EPROM. The 74LS139 will do the chip-selection acordingly. It did not work Running SUPPER-X I found the sram mapped mirrored to ,2000,4000,6000,8000,A000.

I know the mirroring of the eprom can be due to the mappertype and super-x readig it unmapped There's no mappertype, since it's 32KB plain ROM. The extra-mirroring is being caused by some wrong wiring, probably. By doing the quick-and-dirty method you should get the following layout: h-2fffh = EPROM's respective address 3000h-3fffh = SRAM's respective address 4000h-6fffh = EPROM's respective address 7000h-7fffh = SRAM, mirror of 3000h-3fffh 8000h-afffh = EPROM, mirror of h-2fffh (*1) b000h-bfffh = SRAM, mirror of 3000h-3fffh (*1) *1: This only happens on the quick-and-dirty method, and is ignored by the BIOS.

With this upgrade the Music-Module will become a 100% MSX-Audio compliant device. It wasn't until now because it lacked the BIOS. With this BIOS upgrade installed, your Music Module will be able to play ANY BASIC music written for the MSX-Music just by changing the CALL MUSIC command to CALL AUDIO. The ADPCM commands are also available and play/record Samples assincronously on BASIC. All Compile DiskStations and almost all Compile Games will automatically detect and use your Music-Module now too. The upgrade is very simple and (IMHO) easier to install than the 256KB SampleRAM tutorials published on the net. You can get more details and see the entire article on www.msxpro.com, on the session Hardware-Projetos.

Re: [MSX] Colour loss
2. for a NMS82xx the composite video signal is generated with a MC1377 chip. It uses the RGB info from the VDP, but also the Csync signal. Perhaps the timing for one of those signals has changed a little bit in the V9958. If this is the case, then the timing when the colour burst should happen in the cvbs signal, will also be shifted (and wrong). You can adjust this by adjusting the variable resistor VR301. It is located on the separate video board of the NMS825x next to the big black MC1377 chip. Tried it. I get color ,4,4 (startup) to go greenish or yellowish, When this happens Defnite bands of blue, yello red can be seen as well. When the background colour is changed, it still shows the correct colour for a sec then falls back, maybe the signal is weak. I'll try to clean the power supply.

JVW maybe the SVI's drive is busted... That's what I've began to fear myself too. But the drive *does* work ok by itself -- I mean it can read disks which have been formatted and written to by itself. I opened the SVI in the hope that the internal drive would have been similar enough to modern 3.5 drives so I could have changed it myself, but the drive appears to be quite unique. =I By the way, my SVI always formats only one side of a disk, thus creating 360 kbyte disks. I have a faint recollection of creating 720 kbyte disks with my earlier SVI 738, and I don't think it would have been a tuned up version. My current 738 doesn't even ask if I want to format one or two sides of the disk, it only asks do I want to format disk in drive A or drive B. Could this have anything to do with the problem? Should I be able to format double sided disks with a standard SVI 738?

Press f1 on start up to access idebios (similar to pc bios) to select which partitions is active, format etc) 3. Adding a boot manager also in the flash rom.

MSX slot interfaced to PC
HI This topic was mentioned a few times with no serious input. I think it will be possible to connect a msx slot to a pc and emmulate a ROM cartdridge (etc.) on the pc. The msx will think it is talking to a normal rom. 2 Parallel port woul possibly be enough to do this. In a Bi directional port 17 inputs is possible x2 =34 input lines. Buffering the adresbus will free 8 bits.I/O lines 8I lines: 8 (buffered adress) + 12O Lines: 3 TOTAL: 31 lines I think it would be possible to emulate ram and other hardware as well. Most hardware is already emulated in emulators so to adapt is would not be such a big problem. First up think it would be best to try and emulate a 'unmapped' rom game to see if it can work. Then go on to emulate 'unmapped' ram and work on from there. Like to see your comments JP I/O LINES NEEDED ON PC1. 8 data lines: I/O· Databus2. 8 /16: Input· Address bus (8 bit port buffered input)3. 10/12: Input· /CS1· /CS2· /CS12 (Can be dropped by connecting this to both /CS1 and /CS2 ?)· /IORQ· /M1· /MERQ· /RD· /RESET:· /RFSH (OPTIONAL ?)· /SLTSL· /CLOCK· /WR4. 3: Out:· /BUSDIR· /INT· /WAIT

These arelimited to 256 in total whether a slot expander is used or not. Allcartridges in any slot and internal devices are always 'i/o port active' atthe same time. An example of a fake (not real) slotexpander is the Elektuur design which isnothing more than eight parallel wired slot connectors of which only one ata time is made active with the slot select signal. Handy to avoid replacingcartridges (and to avoid a cartridge from starting at boot time by makingthat slot inactive, grab ROMS!). By the way: when building this Elektuurdevice: add the busdir signal and remove the databus buffers. Ofcourse it is possible to add a third slot connector by getting a connectorin parallel with one of the existing slot connectors and replace the slotselect signal with the appropiate slot select signal out of the computer,primary (MSX1) or secundary (MSX2, where internal slots are expanded mostof the time. In theory: You can have two slots completely wired in parallel, insert aonly ROM based cartridge in one and only i/o based in the other. But how areyou sure it is pure ROM or i/o? Not recommended, the chance of havingconflicts is big.

Re: MSX mouse
Hi The source a .hex file is in the .lzh archives Serial mouse: p9bm2tmc.lzh Ps2 mouse:ps2m2tmc.lzh I have both and have translated the readme files in them to english via altavista.

Re: MSX Explorer
Hi MSX Explorer is a windows file explorer type program to view the contents of *.dd1 and *.dd2 msx disk images (simmilar to .dsk but the 1/2 indicates if it is 360k/720k?) It is very nice!
