[stuff deleted] >*chuckle* >I believe this is a case of RTFM, not carlessness on the part of the >designer. The problem you are experiencing is that the Disto SC-II comes >preconfigured to address no-halt registers at $FF74. Incidentally, this >is the same address the Ken-Ton interface uses. You are probably experienc- >ing address conflict. I would think long and hard before I called Disto or Ken-Ton careless, and I don't believe I suggested anything like that in the message. As for RTFM, the guy bought the SCII used, and the seller had long since lost any FM that would have helped out. For the record, I have great respect for both companies (and the people behind them). Chris Burke (in an untitled article that appeared out of thread on my newsreader, that's why I don't quote it) reminds that he should install different cc3disk drivers which are aware of the address change (perhaps ded can do the trick here?). Come to think of it, I don't believe that he has any special drivers at all, although it appears that he can do some no-halt. It's not perfect, I would guess that the wrong drivers would be the cause. So, where should he get the latest drivers? Would Disto provide them, or is it ok (from them) to distribute them freely? Thanks for all the help. -- |"Let's not spoil what we have together by talking." --Dan Fielding| | hpapaleo@magnus.acs.ohio-state.edu Delphi: WTHUNDER| | NetworKING BBS: +1 614 868 4793 "And no place else."|
