Great work Philippe! When you get a chance could you write up a page or two explaining what you did and what you now have. We could add it to the Console I/O board page for other/future users. Just straight text is fine. I will “HTML it” etc. John From: n8vem...@googlegroups.com [mailto:n8vem...@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Philippe Elie Hi folks, I finally got a modified version of Propterm ruing on our beloved ConsoleIO board. thanks for the great work done by the author, most of my work was about replacing the Serial code by the s100io spin and assembly code that interfaces the S100 bus. I did not make extensive testing yet but ANSI codes seem to be properly decoded (Propterm did that already very nicely) and there is a significant speed increase vs the original ConsoleIO code as most of the job is done in assembler. please let me know the outcome of your tests as I do not have yet a software relying on extensive ANSI support - eg. a word processor - , I still have some work to do to remove some the EEPROM functions that are useless here and need to include the Bell feature (yes, no more beep when booting ...). Ah, and I also have to start building my PC-AT support board, now I just received my parts from Mouser :) cheers Philippe
Hi all, Just finished the propeller console IO board and I have it running with the 8080A CPU board with Josh's rev 2.4 ROM. I downloaded the firmware to run the screen and keyboard as a VT100 terminal. That works pretty well but some of the ESC codes for screen control don't work. Has anyone done any more programming through Parallax on the .spin programs? Just curious. Thanks, Harold -- |
