Title: RE: Web Server





  Shall it be possible in the future to use our beloved MSX 
 machines as
  webservers for usage like the 'MSX SERVER'?
 
 Of course. Using a MSX as Web Server is just one of the many 
 applications
 you can do using TCP/IP and UZIX.


It would be nice if someone could design a NIC for msx...
Hosting a website on msx via a modem would get expensive...

MSX-faq

2000-10-12 Thread Richard Gerrits

Hello,

I was looking for some info on how to change my emailaddress with msx@stack
and noticed that the section about the mailinglist in the faq is a bit out
of date.

The link MSX MAILINGLIST INFO is dead, probably because Wiebe no longer
maintains the list.

Maybe someone can correct this.

Greetings Richard

PS can somone tell my how to change my address?

 I can't tell much about it, I was with my parents during the explosion.
 Today I
 returned to my room, a few kilometers west from the fireworks site. I've
 heard
 some stories, but I haven't met people who were in the middle of the
 disaster
 area. I only know the things I've seen on tv...

Same goes for me.
However I did spoke to a friend today, who's house WAS in the middle off the
explosion. Fortunately he and his roommates wered at home during the
accident.
Another friend of mine lost all his windows and got a few scratches from the

Re: Interrupt modes?? (coding question)

2000-03-06 Thread Richard Gerrits



Though, when you build such a device you 
should make surethat you only have one such device in your computer. 
If you put a second one in the second cartridge slot for example, you 
will get bus conflicts if they generate an interrupt at the same time... 
Or to be more precise, if theyboth generate an interrupt before the 
Z80 acknowledges it (the interrupt doesnot get acknowledged as long 
as the Z80 is in DI mode...)IMO this is not completely true. I found the 
device at the end of this email in a book about Z80 assembler. It has 4 switches 
each combined with aR-S flipflop (based on 2 NAND ports). Whenswitch 
s0 is pressed, input 0 of the 8to3 encoder (74148) becomes low. Outputs A, B and 
C become high. OE' becomes low and this triggers the J-K flipflop (74LS73). Q' 
becomes low and thus INT' also becomes low and a interrupt is 
requested.

When the Z80 acknowledges it ( by lowering M1' 
and IORQ' ), the busdriver (74367) puts the data on the bus (in this case FEh) 
and the J-K flipflop is reset.

s0 - interrupt FE
s1- interrupt FC
s2- interrupt FA
s3-interrupt F8 


Each switch can thus execute a different 
interruptroutine.

A program example:

LD HL, ADRES_ROUTINE1
LD 1BFE, HL  

;to int. vector FEh

LD HL, ADRES_ROUTINE2
LD 1BFC, 
HL 
;to int. vector FCh

LD HL, ADRES_ROUTINE3
LD 1BFA, 
HL 
;to int. vector FAh

LD HL, ADRES_ROUTINE4
LD 1BF8, 
HL 
;to int. vector F8h
IM 
2 
; interrupt mode 2
LD A, 
1B 
; MSB of int. vector table
LD 
I,A

; Put it in int. register 

DISCLAIMER: I didn't test the circuit, it 
neitheris specificly designed for a MSX. But I think it should 
work.

Re: (Silly) question about MSX on PC

1999-10-27 Thread Richard Gerrits


 Hello,

 If I am right, this is not the question. He didn't want to emulate his
 interface, he wanted to use his harddisk (the partition, not
 an image on
 it) as a harddisk which can be used in the emulator.


The CJS msx-emu works this way. At startup you tell the emu which
pc-drive/directory it should use for drive a and which for drive b. It even
supports directory changing.

This is one of the reasons I used it a lot. The emu unfortunately doesn't
work under Win98, so I bought a real msx2.

To bad CJS never finished the emu, because it was very fast and easy to use.

Question about Konami games

1999-06-17 Thread Richard Gerrits




Hello

In some of the 16k konami games I have (.bin format) the 
graphics on the top of the screen are corrupted. There is a green-yellow striped 
block. When I reset my MSX2 the game restarts and then the graphics are 
normal.

Does anyone know what causes this corruption and what I can do 
about it, besides resetting the MSX?

Also I find it rather anoying that some of the games restart 
after resetting. I solved this by changing AB at the beginning of 
the game into AA with diskedit. It works, but it takes a lot of time 
to do it with all the games.

Is there a more simple solution?

That's correct. It should state: 13-1 and 12-2.

But is this the good change??? Is the error in the DB25-scheme or in the

Re: Laurens, help... Flaw in the JoyNet specification...

1999-05-31 Thread Richard Gerrits

 Richard states that the correct is the DIN5 (1-13 and 2-12).

In my first mail in only stated, that its not correct to connect MSX pins
1-3 (which are inputs only) to PC pin 10,12,13 (which are also inputs only)
and to connect MSX pins 6-8 (outputs) to PC pins 2-4 (also outputs). So i
just swapped the output pins on the PC with the input pins. I never noticed
the possible mixup between pins 12 and 13.

After studing the DATAX page, I think (as mentioned in my previous mail) the
correct version is RECV DIN5 (1-12, 2-13). This because SEND DIN5 (1-2,
2-3).

Therefore (6-13
and 7-12) are correct on my direct cable.
 I think Richard did make a PC cable, otherwise he wouldn't state that. But
was
he the only one ? Who have already made a PC JoyNet cable ?


I made a PC cable, but not based on the joynet specification. The cable I
build goes from PC-lpt to both MSX-joystick and MSX-lpt, but is similar to
half a joynet-cable. It can only receive data from the PC and it now only
has two wires from PC to MSX and one from MSX to PC.
I'm going to expand it to 5 wires PC to MSX and 5 wires MSX to PC. This way
I should be able to transfer data at high speeds in both ways, 4 bits at a
time.

After studing the DATAX page, I think (as mentioned in my previous mail)
the correct version is RECV DIN5 (1-12, 2-13).

I was wrong!!!

Tonight a made the 10 wires cable I spoke of earlier and wrote the protocol
for the msx (assembler) and the pc (c++). When I was debugging them I found
out something was wrong.
I have the following connection
MSX-lpt   PC-lpt
2 (d0)   to  10
3  (d1)  to   11
4  (d2)  to   12
5  (d3)  to   13
I got the following values:

write on msx-lpt read on PC-lpt (after correcting the inverted
pin 11)
0001 (1)  0100
0010 (2)  1000
0100 (4)  0010
1000 (8)  0001

In my case I should connect  2-13, 3-12, 4-10 and 5-11.
Thus in with joynet, joystick pin 1 should go to pc-lpt pin 13 and joystick
pin 2 should go to pc-lpt pin 12.

Re: Flaw in the JoyNet specification...

1999-05-30 Thread Richard Gerrits

People, I discovered a flaw in the JoyNet specification.
I discovered another one. In the section about connecting a MSX to a PC
there is something like this:

MSX   PC
1 /FORWARD (IN)--13 SEL  (IN)
2 /BACK  (IN)--12 PE   (IN)
3 /LEFT(IN)--10 /ACK (IN)
6 /TRG1   (IN/OUT)--2 D0   (OUT)
7 /TRG2   (IN/OUT)--3 D1   (OUT)
8 OUTPUT   (OUT)--4 D3   (OUT)
9 GND-25 GND

This should be:
MSX   PC
1-2
2-3
3-4
613
712
810
925

Greetings Richard.

Re: Some questions

It's normal the get a bit warm
I think you have to start measuring (did i spell that right ???)


Do you have a repair manual then? Otherwise it's impossible the measure.

i still have 41464 dram's , but it's no use to replace them if you are
not sure the are defective.


I'm pretty sure the 41464 dram's are defective. They lost some pins during
the removal.

Re: Some questions

1999-04-13 Thread Richard Gerrits

Memo systems, a dutch computer store still sell 30 pin sims


30 pins SIMM's aren't the problem, the original 41464 DRAM chips are!!

But I think that's not the only problem, the video RAM chips, the CPU and
the VDP all get slightly warm. I think one of the logic IC's got broken
during the ?soldering? and now is causing a shortcircuit on the bus or
something like that.

Or is it normal that those component get warm?

2/ Can I use a PC memories (EDO) on MSX (or with an interface...)


According to an article from Hans Oranje in MSX-Info blad it is possible to
use PC memory ( 30 pins 1Mb) in your MSX2. However I tried to build it and
it didn't work (gr). I haven't yet discovered why. But because I used 5
metres of cable to connect all the IC's on the mainboard to the 1 Mb SIMM,
it is difficult to locate the error.

I can't undo the changes because the original memory got broken when I tried
to get it out and I can buy new memory because it is taken out of the
market.

If you still want to try it, I can send you the article, but it's in Dutch.
