Pete Lyall + + + +Description of bugs (and most fixes) in CoCo OS9 ver 2.00.00: + From Kevin Darling and Kent Meyers. 08 Apr 86, rev: 13 Jun 86 + (Be sure to re-verify a module after a change) + ------------------------------------ + + MODULE: RS232 + PROBLEM: Returns no error for bad type mode. + SPECIFICS: Original src missing '#' for 'ldb #E$BMode'. Causes B reg to be +loaded from $00CB, which is normally = $00. + SOLUTION: Change byte at offset $0180 from $D6 to $C6. + + MODULE: CCHDisk + PROBLEM: Returns no error on write verification failure. + SPECIFICS: Similiar to RS232 bug above, for E$Write. + SOLUTION: Change byte at offset $00FC from $D6 to $C6. + + MODULE: Clock + PROBLEM: Day increments by two at midnite. + SPECIFICS: Result of 'fix' to 1.XX bug. Extra increment intended for Feb 28 +hits all days instead. + SOLUTION: Several patches in DL, including 'Official Tandy Patch', which also +fixes Virq bug. Or use the following short patch from ??: (and re-verify +module) + Offset Old New + 001A 00 1D + 001C 1D 1C + 0057 08 09 + 005A 27 C4 + 005B 04 03 + 005C C4 26 + 005E 27 5F + 005F 01 20 + 0060 4C 02 + + MODULE: Clock + PROBLEM: Undo F$Virq call fails. + SPECIFICS: When a call is made to delete a F$Virq entry, the X register is +pointed to a stack address, instead of loading X with the virq register entry +off the stack. + SOLUTION: Change byte at offset $0119 from $30 to $AE. + + MODULE: IOMan + PROBLEM: F$IOQU code mistake. + SPECIFICS: Major code change in IOMan. Idea was to sort queuing processes by +age. Wrong register used for comparison. + SOLUTION: Change the following bytes: + Offset Old New + 06BB 10 12 + 06BC A3 E1 + + MODULE: OS9p2 + PROBLEM: F$UnLink does not terminate devices. + SPECIFICS: Unlink of a filemgr, driver or desc, that is NOT in tbe bootfile +but is in use, should return E$ModBsy error from a internal UnLink call to +F$IODel. A wrong register was used, and a loaded mgr, driver, or desc module's +space will be returned to the free mem pool. + SOLUTI.dON: None at this time to fit within module. Hang on. + + MODULE: CCIO + PROBLEM: Failure to recognize CoCo keyboard Break keys. + SPECIFICS: Because the order of IRQ was changed so that CCIO keyboard check +follows Clock, the DP reg is set to $00. The Break or Shift-Break keys (signals +2 and 3) sent to processes while in OS9 non-system state are ignored (the +internal keyboard should've been an IRQ or VIRQ device). The bug will appear if +the receiving program (Basic09 or otherwise) does not do much output, such as +math routines, or using Inkey. + SOLUTION: Use CCIOP files elsewhere in DL. Or instead, if doing a lot of +internal processing, send a char to the screen within loops. This will increase +the chance OS9 will be in a system state and will correctly handle the Break +Sends. + + MODULE: CCIO, CO80, CO32 + PROBLEM: Co-module terminate routines not called, etc. + SPECIFICS: Termination of CCIO does not result in a call to codrivers' +termination code. Worse, once you do a 'tmode type=xx' and change video +codrivers, CCIO will still believe the other one is in memory. If it was NOT in +the bootfile, a crash may result. + SOLUTION: Until rewrite of CCIO - NEVER change to a different COXX, unlink the +loaded one, then 'tmode type' back to the first. Instead of loading it from the +exec directory, CCIO will jump into never-never land, if that space has been +reused. + + MODULE: ACIAPAK + PROBLEM: Not fully reentrant. + SPECIFICS: Each new incarnation saves current D.Firq vector; that vector +restored upon termination. Use of this driver for more than one FIRQ device, +and terminating their use in wrong order could result in FIRQ's going to bad +address. + SOLUTION: None yet. Perhaps driver was not intended to be used for more than +one FIRQ device. Should be in docs. Decent solution would be for Clock or OS9 +or separate module to change firq's to irq's, instead of ACIAPAK. + + ---------------------------------- + Other 'bugs' and things of interest: + + MODULE: Unknown (?) + PROBLEM: Machine locks up after using a new OS9Boot. + SPECIFICS: Unfound bug. Programs fail. Drives continue to run. + SOLUTION: Change order of OS9gen bootlist. + + MODULE: CCIO + PROBLEM: Incompatibility with previous escape code drivers. + SPECIFICS: New CCIO shunts all <esc> ($1B) (27) codes to GRFO module. This +means original Wordpak software (Dynastar and Stylo for example) won't work. + SOLUTION: See C82KD.DOC in DL6. If you don't need OPak c& +.YYCO80 drivers +by Bill Dickhaus or Rick Johnson in DL6. + + MODULE: PRINTER + PROBLEM: Delay for 'printer ready' too short for some devices. + Sorry, don't have details now. I think Bernie Pluth and others may have a +solution. + + ---------------------- + Differences of interest: + + : Be careful using old Password files. Sysgo 2.0 sets default startup priority +at 128, vs 1.XX's 0. If login seems very sluggish, check your SYS/Password +parameters. + + : ACIAPAK 2.0 always assumes FIRQ device in first MPI slot. To use RS232 pak, +etc in another slot, change the byte at offset $0080 (or $007F?) in ACIAPAK +from 03 to: + SLOT BYTE + 1 03 + 2 13 + 3 23 + 4 -- Floppy controller slot + ---------------------- + END OF FILE
