Welcome back to the land of the LIVING Laurens. :) It's the FAT16 we're talking about here. SET EXPERT ON is used by MSX-DOS2.3x to distinguish DOS1 formatted disks from DOS2. I agree it's a bit stupid they done that, and if anybody knows why they done that... Please post this... i think there are more who would like to know why such things are added.

hardware question
Hi, On behalf of Leonardo Padial I want to ask your attention for a question about the pulses of a MSX mouse. Padial has developed a PS2 mouseconnector for the new MMSX, and now he wants to combine several other cards like the keyboardinterface and a PSG+Audio connector in one card. To do this he needs an answer to the following question: I want to include the PS2 mouse with the PC keyboard. I have the SW for the mouse in digital data style. What are the pulses in Forward, Back, Left Right pins 1, 2, 3, 4 of the MSX analogic mouse? With this info I can finish the analogic emulation (*) and then the new PC Keyboard can include : Mouse Analog/Digital connection, one/two joystick ports and PSG with stereo power amplifier with digital volume and input for Audio CD... (see LPE-PSGM-V1). (*) signal with moving analogic mouse left. I need to know something like: pin 3 (left): |_? pin 4 (right): |_? pin 1 _ ? pin 2 _ ? Can anybody help him with this? Thanks in advance! Gerrit
MSX Resource Center UPDATES
Hi all, Recently the MSX Resource Center has put up a new forum (instead of the old one that wasn't even ours). It's multithreaded and very easy in use. You don't need to be a member to use it ofcourse! Other"recent" updates include: - The updated MSX ICQ list (by Grauw) - The ability to respond to news-items (did you know wehave about 4 or 5 new posts about MSX every week!?) - AD-Banner system (include your banner too!) As you can see we're still busy! Soon we'll pass 100.000 UNIQUE visitors (that is -unique- visitors, again...) and we've got over 200 members already! We really would like to see you come around soon too! Thanks for reading and greetings, The MSX Resource Center Team.
Re: (Joynet protocol)
In linux, interrupt handlers and their children are not processes and thus don't have a priority. If they claim the processor, they'll get it. So just ajusting the polling frequency should do. I don't know how uzix does this. UZIX processes have priority. You can use a daemon process as a JUMP driver (as TCP/IP do). The only problem that can arise is that it will slow down the link (assuming JUMP is a sincronous protocol - an asincronous protocol will not work, because UZIX JUMP driver will lose bits). The best thing (even for TCP/IP) would be putting the driver inside the kernel (but it can't be done now, due to low memory).

Re: (Joynet protocol)
I don't know much about IP either, but Adriano Camargo Rodrigues da Cunha knows (and implemented it in UZIX) and Laurens Holst is now learning (and implementing) it. Guys, please enlighten us. Pfff... It's really very simple. An IP packet consists of a header IP packets are a header plus data. Header is, at least, 20 bytes. Data is 0 or more bytes. TCP packets are a header plus data. TCP header is, at least, 20 bytes. Data is 0 or more bytes. So, a TCP/IP packet is, at least, 40 bytes (no data, only the IP and TCP headers). UZIX TCP/IP Stack doesn't use any TCP/IP options, because they are quite useless for TCP/IP clients (except the Maximum Transmission Unit option, that is 4 bytes). A datalink protocol should be able to handle packets with a minimum of 40 bytes for TCP/IP. The maximum size is important too (since sending packets of 50 bytes, for example, just allow transmission of, in the best case, 10 bytes of data). 256 bytes is a good choice, and is not a so big value.

Re: (Joynet protocol)
UZIX is multi-threaded. JoyNet send could be a thread and JoyNet receive another thread. It's not a good way to do it, Maarten. On "heavy systems", like a PC, it's a good solution. But on MSX, that has limited memory and clockspeed, it's not. You're wasting twice the memory and charging twice the CPU. Use the same process (I wouldn't call it a 'thread', since the concept is different) to send and receive data. That's how the TCP/IP is implemented.
