Experimental porting work for the TS2068 and TC2068 Timex spectrum like systems. ---- This port requires a TC2068/TS2068 system with a 64K cartridge configured with the low 32K RAM and high 32K ROM (or all battery backed RAM also works of course except maybe in the reboot case) At the moment you need a DivIDE interface and twister attached to the machine in order to boot it, as it will load the low 32K from the CF card boot area. The DivIDE needs to be set to not interfere with boot in order to run with a TC2068/TS2068 system without the spectrum ROM compatibility cartridge. Memory is laid out as follows Kernel mode 0000-3FFF Dock RAM - common and other kernel data 4000-7FFF Dock RAM - kernel data 8000-FFFF Dock ROM - kernel boot and kernel code Video updating 0000-3FFF Dock RAM - common and other kernel data (including font and video) 4000-7FFF Home RAM - screens 8000-FFFF Dock ROM - kernel boot and kernel code User mode 0000-3FFF Dock RAM - common and other kernel data 4000-77FF Home RAM - screens 7800-FFFF Home RAM - user space (if we kept to the 256 pixel screen we can go to a much bigger user space) If using with FUSE then create an hdf file for the disk, add a filesystem image to it and then dd if=fuzix.load of=tc2068.hdf bs=1046 seek=1 conv=notrunc to place it in blocks 1+ after the partition table (in the gap left for loaders) For real media just change the offset so as not to include the 534 bytes of header on the hdf file. Debugging state: - Still chasing down a possible memory corruption bug that looks irq related - Need to review the video writes - still lose last byte of yes on ls /bin Optimizations: - Turn on interrupt mode during swapping
