A progress report - I have DOS/65 V3.0 running on my C1P/SBII. Modifying my V2.1x BOOT and SIM was simple. The only changes were:
BOOT & SIM - change CCM length to V3.0x standard 2560.
SIM Only
a. Update the opening banner to reflect SYSGEN version and SIM version.
b. Change WARM BOOT to use IOSTAT as means for PEM to tell SIM what default drive will be.
c. Ensure Drive A is always the warm or cold boot source drive.
d. Ensure COLD BOOT clears IOSTAT so USER=0 and boot drive=0=A.
I have attached a .ZIP file with my latest V2.1x BOOT and SIM as well as my V3.0x BOOT and SIM. Please note that in both cases I use the C1 monitor ROM for much of the low level I/O and that ROM is unchanged between V2.1x and V3.0x.
I am not yet posting SYSGEN, SD, SUBMIT, COPY3, etc., as I want to do a bit more testing but so far everything look great. I do recommend you get V2.1 including the latest transients up and running so you are used to the command names, command line syntax, etc., before you switch to V3.0x.
Thanks,
Rich
