Projects

This is really a to-do list of little hardware and software projects

• Make the VDU ignore NUL
• Make the VDU beep on BEL
• Make the VDU generate cursor and ESC keycodes
• Add a control sequence to the VDU that allows a simple X/Y position so that CED can be ported
• Add an NMI output (and ack handshake) to the VDU, linked to (eg) "SysRq" key
• DONE Work out why the SDcard needs a delay between command and status checking
• DONE Create a NEWDISK or PERL equivalent
• DONE Get ADVENTURE compiled and working
• Hello World for each of the compilers and interpreters out there in FLEX
• Utility to swap disks
• Expand UART to full capability (8-bit, parity)
• Write drivewire4 driver for FLEX
• DONE Port NITROS9
• Revise EXEC09 to add a startup phase so that it will run .HEX files without trouble.
• DONE Debug problem with FLEXTRACT not getting R files correctly
• DONE Write PERL code for binary file random read/write so that it can present a .dsk file as a virtual filesystem with delete/create/edit/check capability, and a "repack" command
• DONE Try FLEX 9.1
• DONE Carve unused sectors off existing FLEX.COR
• DONE Get FLEX.COR to the "correct" place on the disk as though it was a proper distribution disk
• Fix maths error in CamelForth documented by Brad
• DONE Instructions for FIXing FLEX.SYS to give correct terminal settings
