RE: MSX-DOS 2 (not compatable with DOS1??)
As you might know, TeddyWareZ is doing a project called SCC-BLAFFER NT.. SCC-BLAFFER, I understand. But NT? Sounds too much like M$ $tuff ;-( I use all BDOS routines, so I thought it would work with a DOS2 cartridge inserted.. But it doesn't... [snip] Could it be that you're using memory mapper pages without using the DOS2 mapper routines? DOS2 is very picky about that. RTFM :-) They're on funet, somewhere... Eric MSX Mailinglist.

Re: MSX-DOS 2 (not compatable with DOS1??)
reading blocks. (not the sector part.). So can someone please tell me how to get things going, and maybe even supply me with some good docs about DOS2??? You can download the good docs from the DOS2 section of The Ultimate MSX FAQ! The link is on the bottom of that page. (The docs are on FUNet) Grtjs, Manuel ((m)ICQ UIN 41947405) PS: MSX 4 EVER!

Re: [DUTCH mainly] Gratis diskettes voor MSX groepen/Free disks for MSX groups! (Was: Wie heeft interesse in bijna gratis oude PCA-disks?)
Manuel Bilderbeek wrote: [DUTCH:] Dit mailtje is om de interesse te peilen. Ik ga niet mensen dozen van 200 diskettes opsturen trouwens. Gewoon maximaal 3 ofzo van elk exemplaar. Als hobby-groepen (MSXers ofzo) veel DD-diskettes nodig hebben om hun product op te zetten, kan dat ook geregeld worden. (Dit is de enige reden om VEEL diskettes te krijgen. Op andere verzoeken om even 1000 diskettes op te sturen ga ik niet in!) Voor de duidelijkheid: MSX groepen die disks nodig hebben (voor hun MSX-activiteiten) kunnen in ieder geval gratis disks bij mij krijgen (ok, tegen verzendkosten natuurlijk)! Zoveel ze nodig hebben. Merk trouwens op dat alle diskettes PC-Active (of andere) labels hebben en de meeste ook een logo op de shutter hebben. Bij sommige disks is het echter mogelijk die logo's er af te krabben. Dan kun je ze dus gebruiken om je product op uit te brengen (op DD disks dus!). Het is in ieder geval zo dat in de toekomst kopers van Allosoft producten (dus producten die door mijn uitgebracht worden) gratis 10 (of meer) diskettes erbij krijgen! :-) [ENGLISH:] - For clarity: MSX groups that need disks (for their MSX activities) can get free disks of me, as many as they need. Ofcourse they will have to pay for shipment. Also don't forget the disks all have PC-Active (or other) labels, and most of them also have the logo on the shutter. But for some shutters that logo can easily be scratched off. So then you can use them to release your product on! Then you can even release them on DD disks! Anyway, future buyers of Allosoft products (so, products released by me), will get 10 (or more) free disks as a bonus! :-) -- Grtjs, Manuel ((m)ICQ UIN 41947405) PS: MSX 4 EVER! (Questions?

Why a page of news?
[english] Hi guys... Some people asked me WHY a page with all news. Well, I'll answer on public, because, I think everyone should know this. There is a lot of reasons, but two are the most important of them: - You do not need spent hours and hours to see what happened today. If a new emulator is out, if Phoenix project was updated, if there is a new game from Sunrise for MSX, if Metal Gear 2 2.0 is finished... Everything will be in one single place. - This can eliminate the need of a "flood" of information news on mailing lists. Who wants to see what's new, just need to go to the page. But, if it's suposed to work perfectly, I need help. I search (and DIG!!) for news, but something can be lost if page owners do not inform me of news. Let's work just like a comunity. The news page will be the newspaper. For those that want to help, send me the news when update your pages or when see that one of the page of other members was updated and there is no news about it on news page. My e-mail is: [EMAIL PROTECTED] and the news page address is http://msxnews.cjb.net Think in the page as marketing... (-: And, of course, EXPLOSIVE news always MUST be sent to the lists... But not every single update. (-: Those goes to the news page. Thx a lot! [Portugues] Fala, bando de fudeba... Algumas pessoas me mandaram e-mail perguntando pq eu fiz uma pagina de news para MSX. Bem, vou responder em publico pq acho que isso eh algo que todos devem saber. Existem muitas razoes, mas as duas principais sao: - Voce nao precisarah mais gastar horas e horas para ver o que aconteceu hoje. Se um novo emulador foi liberado, se o projeto Phoenix foi atualizado, se ha um novo jogo da Sunrise, se o Metal Gear 2 2.0 foi liberado... Tudo estarah em um unico lugar. - Isto poderah acabar de vez com a necessidade de encher as listas de e-mail com informacoes de novidades. Quem desejar ver a necessidade, basta ir para a pagina. Mas, se eh para funcionar direito, eu preciso de ajuda. Eu procuro (e ateh mesmo cavo) novidades, mas algumas coisas sempre podem passar batidas se os donos de pagina nao me informarem as novidades. Trabalhemos como uma comunidade. As pagina de news serah como um jornal. Para aqueles que querem ajudar, enviem-me as novidades quando atualizarem suas paginas ou quando virem que a pagina de algum outro membro da comunidade foi atualizada, e nada estah comentado na pagina. Meu e-mail eh: [EMAIL PROTECTED] e o endereco da pagina de news eh http://msxnews.cjb.net Pense na pagina como um marketing... (-: E, claro, noticias EXPLOSIVAS sempre DEVEM ser enviadas `as listas... Mas nao cada simples update.(-: Estes vao para a pagina! Valeu.

Re: MSX-DOS 2 (not compatable with DOS1??)
D-Fader, As you might know, TeddyWareZ is doing a project called SCC-BLAFFER NT.. I use all BDOS routines, so I thought it would work with a DOS2 cartridge inserted.. But it doesn't... Is the BDOS in DOS2 different then the BDOS in the MSX itself?? I just don't get it, cause I don't have experience whatsoever using DOS2. I thought it would be downwards compatable.. Is that *NOT* true?? And how can I get things going using DOS2?? DOS2 is backwards compatible with DOS1. All DOS1 routines are present in DOS2. Using CALL 5h or CALL F37Dh allways works.
