Hi all, [Mappers] I have a little idea: What if someone writes a mapper support driver for DOS1? Shouldn't be too hard. Programs could even install such a driver themselves so that they can switch the mapper using a single interface. Ehm... I thought MemMan was just that. A mapper

Hardware DMA indeed not possible with the builtin chips in the MSX. But the term DMA stems from long ago (CP/M for eaxmple) when with DMA was meant the memory location/buffer where the transferred data to/from is stored. That's not DMA, that's DTA... Disk Transfer Area. ~Grauw MSX

I recently bought a F1-spirit cartridge at a stuffed animal fair (what was 'rommelmarkt' again?), for fl.7,50. The reason this price was so low was that the asshole had cut out the game-ROM. Aargh. But anyway, I have a empty cartridge with SCC now... Where is the description of this ESE-SCC?

Sure you are right, DTA is the correct name. And the one we should use. The term DMA was often used in CP/M (and often DMA hardware support was available in S100 bus systems) and therefore it appears sometimes because MSXDOS inherited much from CP/M. -Original Message- From: Laurens
