New PROFI INTERFACE v3

[VELESOFT]

+D is incompatible with PROFI interface. But is not so big problem change PROFI port to any other. After change PROFI port must be also rewrited port in main menu and in FLASHER utility.

How, can you give step by step instruction for moron like me please?

I must rewrite one number in PROFI CPLD wirmware and send you new version. But I must also rewrite one number in sorce of main menu and one port in FLASHER UTILITY.

Or exist next way - add LOCK feature to PROFI = after set configuration can be config port locked... theoretically.. if will free space in cpld.

OK. It's not so hard. :-)

I have two ideas for new CONFIGURATION port for PROFI INTERFACE:

a) use port #27 (write only) - but PROFI will unusable with original BETADISK 128 and 8bit IDE by Pera Putnik

b) use port #37 (write only) - but PROFI will unusable with original BETADISK 128 and Multiface 128 v.36

Original BETADISK 128 use very bad ports decoder(incomplete). But with modern BETADISK 128 clones with full 8bit ports addressing will PROFI always compatible. Which port I can use ? #27 or #37 ?

Hello, 37 is ok. Thanks

Velesoft, how to run GLUK reset service? Now when i press reset wild copier start ?

Russian clones support 64kB rom chips = 4 different 16kB rom pages.
first 32kB contain 128 editor + 48 basic, next pages contain tr-dos rom and "service rom". This last "service rom"  automatically start after reset and can contain your own rom. In russian clones are used often gluk reset monitor or wild copier or other trdos based commanders or tr-dos rom (duplicate).

GLUK contain own commander, menu for format ramdisc drive, demo, keyboard tester, booter, etc... But practically - if you connect divide with esxdos then you don't need ramdisc and full 1MB ram can be used for ZX software. Exist too much versions of GLUK rom and some are problematic... Rom with wild copier is better.. For install GLUK rom you must reflash rom via my flash utility.

Sorry for long delay, but I am not home in last days. New firmware for CPLD is done, now I must only rewrite port number in other software (easy). Please wait.

[zaxon]

Yop i know this. I just like gluk reset becouse i use it on my Speccy 2010 , but true , is useless with divide and esx dos.

No problem i can wait, to be honest i'm really busy right now also it is your time  so no rush. In meantime i do my betadisc floppy interface

Ostatnio Zaxon coś mało siedzi przy Spectrusiu, więcej grzebie przy Amstradzie, ale co najgorsze są podejrzenia, że chce wyciągnąć z szafy Atari

Echh bo jak zaczne lac Do tej pory to same buble byly, nie? Bete 128 robie jedna , dla siebie. Plytka uniwersalna i kynar technology bo generalnie stopuje z produkcja czegokolwiek nowego. Koncze tylko to co mam zaczete. Jak szef wiki odpali to udostepnie dokumentacje do tych moich wynalazkow.
