This calls the STOPDRV routine from diskrom (entry point 4029h). But I don't know what will happen if you have 2 disk-interfaces connected to one MSX. Does somebody know? OK, thanks. Now I'm calling the STOPDRV routine for each valid DiskROM found in the table at #FB21. It works very

A friend of mine told me this particular interface can be upgraded by replacing the EPROM so it can be used on other types of msx also, with the additional advantage that it would become a SCSI2 interface. He can make the EPROM, but doesn't has the software and suggested me to write this

Just disassemble the function and you'll see that it uses FB21h to finds another interface and call 4029h of it! What I had said is sill valid. I don't have a full system variables table inside my memory, and FB21h is one of the variables which I didn't know. So, who is not fudeba?

If the MK-PD interface is a Novaxis type of interface, the ROM could be easily replaced by the new 1.59 version or so. Erik Maas did this for me, so I guess he has the ROM image. ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) The MK-interface is much alike BERT-interface. Ow, that's another case. Contact Hans

Isn't there a diskrom-specific diskstoproutine??? I think so, because the hook which is hooked by the diskROM also only stops a single drive, and not my harddisk. Well, I know my previous harddisk system (IBM KZ/P with Novaxis 1.0 ROM in Gouda SCSI interface) never stopped, and my current

Well, I can tell you that it's pretty irritating if the harddisk spins down! Several demo's do that also, e.g. the demo Scrollmania (I thought it was) in IOD's Metal Limit. Other software does so too... BUt ok, in your game it isn't that much of a problem, since indeed, it doesn't have to load
