The problem is that if I boot the computer with a memory card in the master slot, the computer always hangs with the following error: "No enough memory". These are the things I've found out: - Booting the MSX without a memory card inserted, the interface's BIOS says that it cannot find a master device and the computer boots normally. - Booting with a memory card in the master slot, I get the "No enough memory" error message in a FS-A1ST (expanded to 512Kb) and a FS-A1GT. I've tried also an FS-A1WX (64Kb) and I don't get the error message, but the floppy disk in this computer is broken, so I couldn't do more testing. - Flashing the BIOS works correctly when I boot the computer without a memory card. - The "No enough memory" error appears regardless of the slot where the cartridge is inserted. My hardware is: - Panasonic FS-A1ST (512Kb)/A1GT/A1WX - CF ATA-IDE, BIOS 2.21 - 128Mb CF card (detected as "TOSHIBA THNCF128MA" at boot) - Nothing else connected to the computer Any ideas on what can be causing the problem?

[MSX] About memory usage in (Disk)BASIC
Hi ppl, here is a lightweight question for those who are in summer holidays and have therefore a lot of time for MSX investigation. It is about how the memory is used in the BASIC environment when disk interface is present. MSX2 Technical Handbook says that it is as follows: - Up to HIMEM (&HFC4A), normal BASIC memory. - From BLDCHK+1 (&HF377+1), BLOAD/BSAVE routines, 25 bytes. This variable points to the same address as HIMEM. - From FCBBASE (&HF353), space for disk FCBs of disk files opened by BASIC (this area is 37*7 bytes, so a maximum of MAXFILES=6 can be used, FCB 0 is used for BLOAD/BSAVE). Note that this is not the same as the FCBs area in the normal BASIC memory (267 bytes * (MAXFILES+1)) - From HIMSAV (&HF349), the general disk work area starts. This area exists also in DOS mode. I have seen that this scheme is followed exactly in this way in DOS 1. However in DOS 2 it is different: - Up to HIMEM (&HFC4A), normal BASIC memory. - From HIMEM to HIMSAV there is an apparently unused area of 525 bytes. - From HIMSAV, the general disk work area starts. BLDCHK+1 and FCBSAVE point to somewhere into this area. And the question is: what is this 525 bytes "ghost" area for? May it be reused for BASIC programs (doing a CLEAR up to the address pointed by HIMSAV) safely? 525 bytes is really much memory when using the BASIC environment. OK, so go for it, the first person replying this question will earn 100 points! *** XXIV MSX USERS MEETING IN BARCELONA: DECEMBER ??th 2003 *** - Konami Man - AKA Nestor Soriano (^^)v http://www.konamiman.com- [EMAIL PROTECTED] ICQ#: 18281450 Itoshii hito no tame ni Ima nani ga dekiru ka na?

[MSX] Memory mappers in MSX2+ machines?
Hi! For openMSX machine configurations we need to be 100% sure if (or which of) the MSX2+ machines (or MSX2 machines with 64kB RAM) have a memory mapper or not... So, if you happen to own an original, unmodified MSX2 or MSX2+ with 64kB of main RAM, please do the following test for us: 1) start the machine to basic (without any device in the cartridge slots) 2) type a simple line in basic like this: 10 PRINT "HELLO" 3) type: OUT &HFE,2 4) type LIST and please check what the result is (and remember this). It either shows nothing (then it has a mapper) or shows the just entered program (then it has no mapper). Now we doublecheck: 5) type OUT &HFE,1 6) type LIST Now the program should be back in case it disappeared. Please e-mail me with the results: machine brand name and type (e.g.: Panasonic FS-A1WX) and the results of the test. Thanks in advance! -- Grtjs, Manuel PS: MSX FOR EVER!

Re: MSX memory
That depends. Most MSX-1 machines use the same dynamic memory chips. As do MSX-2 (but larger capacity).

No. But I can mail you ramturbo.com and romturbo.com if you want to investigate them. It is ofcourse nice to have this functionality integrated in your emulator. Please note that you can also advise your ST users to boot the ST in DOS1 mode. That will also free the 32kB of RAM used by DOS2 itself. In that case, you only have to make a very simple modification to your emulator: If MSX turbo R booted in DOS2 mode: keep your memory management as it is. If booted in DOS1 mode: switch to R800 ROM mode and search all available memory yourself. In that case, you do not need to worry about (re)allocating DOS2 memory segments and the whole lot. Though, you may still want to copy the ROMS back to upper memory before exiting the emulator. Just as a courtesy to the user...

DOS2 & freeing R800 DRAM memory
Hi all, I'm really trying to get some extra memory for turboR ST users, because they can't use GEM v0.7 at all. The problem is the 64kB which is used for R800 DRAM mode located above the DOS2 system area. My idea is to: 1. switch to R800 ROM mode 2. copy the DOS2 system area to the upper 2 segments 3. execute some stuff, using the 'freed' 64kB. 4. copy the DOS2 system area back to the original position 5. switch to R800 DRAM mode Ofcourse the interrupts are switched off during steps 2-4. I'm assuming switching to R800 DRAM mode will cause the ROM to be copied to DRAM again? I'm not 100% sure this would work, but it sounds like a good idea. What do you guys think?

Is there a program that reads/writes different patterns into the memory, to see if its reliable? Greetings Richard Problems? contact [EMAIL PROTECTED] See also http://www.faq.msxnet.org/

Re: DOS 2 memory management...
> Have you checked the docs mentioned in the DOS2-section of the FAQ? He's right. Those docs are the official ones of ASCII describing all you need. Look in the Application Manual, section 4 or so (if I'm not mistaking). Ah, well, just check the index. Those docs are all I have about Dos2, and I have to say, they are sufficient. Great job ASCII!!! If you really, really, really want it, I can send you some example of Dos2 managementroutines if you'd like to... But I'll have to run upstairs for them, find, select, save, copy, copy, paste, post them, so please save me the trouble and say the Dos2 docs are sufficient or else try to find the Dos2 memroutines in some other source. To answer your question: > Bank 0..7 are filled with data Blaffer needs. Now is my > question: Can I still use these banks while DOS2 > stores itselfs in bank 8 en 9 (when having >128K)?? Yes, you can use them. Dos2 always stores itself in the upper 2 segments of the primary (=currently selected) mapper. But beware!!! >>> USE THE DOS2 MEMORY-MANAGEMENT ROUTINES!!! <<< Otherwise it will not work. Maybe on your system (with no TSR or other programs running), but not on other systems with, for example, a disk-cache program like LUNA installed. ~Grauw -- >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>><<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< email me: [EMAIL PROTECTED] or ICQ: 10196372 visit the Datax homepage at http://datax.cjb.net/ MSX fair Bussum / MSX Marathon homepage: http://msxfair.cjb.net/ >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>><<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< MSX Mailinglist.

I don't know any, but maybe there is... >All mappers do this 'mirroring'... >If they didn't then it would not be possible to detect the mappersize... >(only legal mappersize-detection is done by using the mirror-effect). No! This is not the correct way to detect the mapper size!!! As a matter of fact, the turbo-R does not have 2^x mapper pages accessible when running in R800-dram mode!!! 4 pages are reserved to store bios, basic and kanji (thought these were the ones) in to speed up the execution, because ROM is not as fast as RAM. The access to these pages is disabled by hardware. Even a turbo-R has the 'mirror' effect, but you can not say that this is the only thing you have to look at to determine the number of mapper pages. By the way, there is a trick to alter these pages: * switch to R800-ROM and these pages are accessible * make changes (e.g. replace KANJI with KUN, I use this method now and then) * and switch back to R800-DRAM H... Here comes a nice thing, not related to this subject, but I have noticed that access to the internal ram of the turbo-R is faster than access to external memory/ram. So it is faster to run KUN-Basic in place of the kanji-ram-place than from an rom-module in a cartridge slot. Another thing is : data that has to be accessed a lot should be in the internal ram of the turbo-R. Not only because of the slot-switching, but because of the access time too!

I don't know any, but maybe there is... Sure there is! I don't know how Turbo-R's Mapper works, but standard mappers have mirror effect. If you select block 16, you'll get block 0, and the same will happen if you select block 8. (blocks are numbered from 0 to 7). But the most interesting is to select the same block in different RAM pages. You can write a byte in one address, and in another address the same byte appears! Really cool!

[off] memory management in the PC
On Thu, 26 Aug 1999, Giovanni R. Nunes wrote: > And don't forget! What means "pia" in portuguese? :) That's easy, "pia" means "boy" or "child". Someone asked about PC memory management in real mode. There are three ways to do it: 1) XMS: with this method you can access the pc bios to copy blocks from high memory to low memory (and the other way too). This is slow since it requires the use of "rep movsd" or equivalent. 2) EMS: in this one you can map the high memory in the low memory, the same way we do in the Memory Mapper or the MegaRAM. This is slow since it puts the processor in virtual86 mode, and the "in" and "out" opcodes can get as much as twelve times slower. 3) UMB: this option lets you manage the hole between 640kb and 1Mb, but it should not be used to let this space free for LOADHIGH device drivers. In short, memory management in the PC sucks.

If you're writting to the VRAM that contains the spritedata and sprites are enabled, then you'll need more time ! Apparently the VDP has a one byte buffer and writes this buffer to VRAM when it has time to acces that VRAM. Since sprite VRAM is used rather much the available time to write here is much less. So if you write to fast this byte-buffer is overwritten with new data before the old one is in the actual VRAM.

VDP memory write timings
I have to write a gfx data burst to VRAM as quickly as possible while the display, and possibly sprites are enabled. I've noticed data corruption when using quick transfer loops (via POP) that disappears when display is disabled. Is there an accurate way to determine required VDP timings and ensure proper functionality on all MSX models regardless of different clocked CPUs? Kiss you lot.

MSX2 & memory mappers
Hi all, Ooohh, it's really hard to explain those Brazilians all about memory mappers! (don't they have any?). Some facts: An MSX2 doesn't need to have a memory mapper to be a true MSX-2. Example: Sony HB-G900. 64K RAM, no mapper, but true MSX-2, nothing wrong with it. Apparantly there exist Philips MSX-2's without a mapper (not the 8220, which has a mapper), because I made a schematic once for building 128K mapper in those (if all Philips MSX-2's had mappers, I wouldn't have). I suppose the VG 8230 could be such a machine. If you have a VG8230: check it! Does this one have a mapper, or not? Be sure it is a 8230: I've helped build a 8235 into a 8230's casing once... 128K mappers in <>Philips machines: Sony HB-F9P: 128 K, mapper Smaller: Almost every Japanese-built MSX2 or 2+: 64K mapper Philips NMS 8220 has only 64K, but this IS a mapper. Really a 128K mapper with 2nd half empty, so switching blocks, you get: Block 0, 1, 2, 3, "nothing", "nothing", "nothing", "nothing", block 0 again, 1 again, 2 again, 3 again, "nothing", "nothing", "nothing", "nothing", 0 again, 1 again, etc. Not standard? Absolutely standard! Mapper=64K = 4 blocks (0-3), selecting block 0, 1, 2, 3 gets you mapper blocks 0, 1, 2, 3 -> all ok. Reading the mapper ports on this machine would return other values as you might expect, but reading mapper ports SHOULD be considered unreliable, right? Bigger: Turbo-R: 256K (ST) or 512K (GT), mapper Sony HB-G900AP (note the "A" in there!): 512K or 1 MB., mapper Greetings, Alwin Henseler([EMAIL PROTECTED]) http://huizen.dds.nl/~alwinh/msx MSX Tech Doc page MSX Mailinglist.

Well as I wrote I always filled in the whole area from #C000 to #CFFF so I never got problems with it (nowadays I program under Dos environment so I don't use it anymore). By the way, that will be C0FE and not C0FF, because interrupt-vectors can only be even numbers, bit 0 is ignored (always zero). Recently, I read the specs of of my Philips modem adapted to an RS232... The chip inside can generate an interrupt-vector... Is this put through to the MSX, will it really generate a vector when used in IM2??? If so, that would be cool. Or is the MSX standard not capable to use a IM2-vector? ~Grauw MSX Mailinglist.
