4 - Fix init/term bug (only seen if windowing system is successively
|
2002
|
5 brought up/torn down). This a long-standing bug, but doesn't impact
|
1932
|
6 the typical user. More of an irritant than anything else.

7 - Backport along with keydrv, joydrv, snddrv to Level 1.

16 - Add option to allow formatting of Dragon disk format.
|
|
17 BGP, 01/15/08:
|
|
18 Is this needed? format.asm builds for the Dragon port
|
|
19 to allow formatting a Dragon disk. So the Dragon version of NitrOS-9
|
|
20 has its own 'format' executable, as does the CoCo version.

23 - Fix SS.WTrk to handle high density drives (is this working now?)
|
|
24 - Fix SS.WTrk bug which causes crashes on some CoCos (I believe the
|
1922
|
25 slowdown was employed as a temporary workaround?)
|

|
26 12/16/05:
|
|
27 Using a Disto Super Controller I hooked up to a 6309 CoCo 3, I
|
|
28 booted to V03.02.04 and formatted /d1 which is a 5.25" 360K drive.
|
|
29 I experienced the same computer lock-ups that others have seen.
|
|
30 12/17/05:
|
|
31 With the same setup that I made the above discovery, I made
|
|
32 a new system disk with the latest code, the only thing being
|
|
33 different was rb1773.asm which I retrieved from the repository
|
|
34 at revision 1.10, the same revision that was part of V03.02.04. I
|
|
35 did a physical format on a 360K disk SIX times without any lockups.
|
|
36 I then reverted to the format that was part of V03.02.04 and again,
|
|
37 SIX physical formats yielded no lockups.
|
|
38
|
|
39 Finally, I reinstated the latest rb1773 and format, then modified
|
|
40 rb1773.asm to not slow down and speed up the CoCo 3 around the
|
2169
|
41 SS.WTrk code. Six physical formats did not show a single lock-up.
|

|

|
|
43 Conclusion: Further research is needed to warrant what caused this
|
|
44 bug in V03.02.04. It does not appear to be related to the driver
|
|
45 directly, nor to the format utility. It may be related to the
|
|
46 kernel since that component has changed since V03.02.04. At this
|
|
47 point and time, further testing of the latest repository is needed
|
|
48 to confirm on other systems that this bug no longer exists.

50 - Add code to select MPI slot where disk controller is (can assume
|
|
51 slot 4 or allow the value to be placed in the descriptor)

64 - Handle fragmented bootfiles
|
|
65 (boot_1773 is done, others need to be modified and tested)
