Re: [MSX] Tada! Real Brazilian MSX machine with 8192kb MainRAM
Hello, In my MSX hardware collection I have an MSX Turbo R GT with 512kB, 3 memorymappers 4 MB, and 1 memorymapper, more than one slotexpander. MSX Turbo R shows 13824 kB memory... big question is: is it usefull to have so much memory in a MSX computer?

Re: Harddisk Novaxis
When i look into this ROM I find the version number 1.08 in it. Can you confirm this is 1.59? Confirmed. The Setup Menu is version 1.08. With this version you can use 32 partitions. :-) What? The setup menu has version 1.08 on Hans' interface and on Manuel's interface. But in his first email Hans wrote he had bios version 1.51. The bios sasy he might be able to use 32 partitions, but he will not be able to boot from a zip-drive, at least not from an external one. The external zipdrive can only use scsi-id 5 or 6. The novaxis with 1.51 bios is not able to set the target id to 5 or 6. Therefor you must have version 1.59. For the 32 partions you must use nfdisk version 1.2 Version 1.1 or older cannot make more than 15 partitions. greetings Maico arts -- For info, see http://www.stack.nl/~wynke/MSX/listinfo.html

The disk in it I can use on my other MSX with MK SCSI cartridge, so it containes partioning and data. Whether or not you can see the ZIP depends basically on 3 things: 1. You must have the 'Multiple disks' option switched on in the Novaxis setup. 2. The Harddisk has to contain less than 6 partitions. Otherwise there's no drive letter available for the ZIP (*). This problem can be overcome by using a partition selection program, which enables you to assign drive letters to partitions. It's available on ftp://ftp.funet.fi/pub/msx somewhere. The name is MAP.COM (Warning: there's also a MAP which disables memory management in DOS2 so you can run DOS1 programs in DOS2) 3. The partitioning scheme on the ZIP has to be compatible with that of the Novaxis. 2nd: I want to partition the harddisk with as less partitions as possible. I though the 32Mb boundary was broken with Novaxis, Nope. It has to do with the FAT12 filesystem, and is not related to the SCSI interface. Only MegaSCSI and the IDE i/f provide support for FAT16 at the moment and thereby also offer partitions larger than 32 MB. There is another problem. With this fdisk version you can make 15 partitions maximum. When using version 1.2 you can make 32 partitions and thus use a 1gb harddisk at full capacity. Then you also have to use the right map.com. The one which is able to use this partition table. I recently uploaded this fdisk and map.com to funet. The map.com is also used to connect to a harddisk which you cannot see. It is not 100% nessisary (- is this correct?) to set multiple harddisk to on. When using map.com it needs 3 expressions. the first is the drive letter, that is the letter only. second it needs the scsi-id of the harddisk and third ofcourse the number of the partition. counting from 1. As you have to tell the scsi-id, you can connect to a zip-drive that way. Watch out to switch the A: drive! This is the drive where de computer has booted from abnd thus must contain the command2.com When you switch A: partition, then the new partition must also have the command2.com at the same location on this partition, the root of A: It is not possible to boot from a zipdrive with this eprom in your interface. You must have at least version 1.59. BTW: even when using 7 harddisks, you will never see more than 6 drives connected to the novaxisinterface. If multiple harddisk is set to on you will see the first 6 partitions the novaxis has detected. When multiple harddisks is set to off then the novaxis will connect up to 6 drive letters, depeding on how many partitions are created on the harddisk from which is set as target-id. greetings Maico Arts -- For info, see http://www.stack.nl/~wynke/MSX/listinfo.html
Re: NOVAXIS SCS questions!!!
Hello everyone As I said, 1.59.64 is in BiFi's MEPROM's page. Check www.bifi.msxnet.org ... Sigh... You want the full URL? Here it is: [damn, I can't find it!] Okay, go to the IRC channel and type ?? meproms That is nice, but for what io-ports is it usefull? The Gouda interfaces could be used at 3 sets of io ports... probably i/o range 34 to 36, which is the most common one, but there are also interfaces which uses i/o portrange 24 to 26 and 17 to 19 interfaces. greetings Maico Arts -- For info, see http://www.stack.nl/~wynke/MSX/listinfo.html
Re: NOVAXIS SCS questions!!!
Hello I think the newest version is 1.52, and I REALLY think it is worth to upgrade. It's much better/faster. There is a newer bios version 1.59, but that one is officially never released. you need it when you want to use a scsi-device with id higher then 3 to boot from, like an external iomega zip drive. this device can only have ID 5 or 6... As Manuel Bilderbeek mentioned in his post, the newest version of fdisk is NFDISK version 1.2 and the accompanying MAP.COM. This Fdisk can create 32 partitions and thus one can use a 1 GB harddisk. To be able to use those 32 partitions you use MAP.COM. If you use the wrong one, then you will not get any other partitions or get reading/writing problems to the driveyou tried to change partition.

Re: NOVAXIS SCS questions!!!
Hello Who has it? :-), and could forward it to me? It should be in my mail files somewhere. I will send them to you if I find them. I found at funet map32, so I suppose it is this program? Keep in mind that you have to use the nfdisk1.2 version! The 1.1 version can only make 15 partitions of 32 mb. The 1.2 version canmake up to 32 partitions. The MAP.COM is enhanced to use this partitiontable and therefor called MAP32.COM Greetings Maico Arts -- For info, see http://www.stack.nl/~wynke/MSX/listinfo.html
Re: turboR DRAM mode DOS2
There are some utils to change the Turbo R state from DRAM to ROM and back. They are called romturbo.com and ramturbo.com. I can mail them to you, just let me know. Or try it to upload to funet...

On turboR an extra 64kB memory is used by the system. I guess this is the DRAM mode memory. Now I have these questions: 1. Do the DOS2 system segments reside before or after the DRAM memory? 2. Is there any way to free this 64kB? I have tried switching to R800 ROM or Z80 mode and rebooting DOS2 (BASIC then CALL SYSTEM), but that does not work.

Re: Basic viewer
Yes, there is a list.com which can list basic files in a DOS screen. It is not an editor, it just shows the basic listing on the screen from head to tail. you have to use some thing like more.com to show it page by page or convert it to ascii and then use an editor. list basic.bas | more return or list basic.bas basic.asc return edit basic.asc return Mail me and I will send it to you... greetings -+-+-+-+-+-+- Maico Arts [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] -+-+-+-+-+-+- - Original Message - From: Diederick de Vries [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Msx-mailinglist [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, November 13, 2000 7:26 PM Subject: Basic viewer Hello, Does anyone know if there's a program that can show Basic-files for viewing from Multi Mente?

Re: ULTRA WIDE DIFFERENTIAL 68 PINS
And can't you use this adapter to go from 50 pin scsi interface to 68 pin scsi harddisk? That sounds as 50 - 68 pin to me... Sure you can... Physically. But it won't work though You are missing out on 16 data lines and 2 controller lines. Use the proper terminitation. But I do have my doubts about this differential scsi on MSX... greetings -+-+-+-+-+-+- Maico Arts [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] -+-+-+-+-+-+- Problems? contact [EMAIL PROTECTED] See also http://www.faq.msxnet.org/
