Hello Garvin,
I would only emphasize some very little detail of the Mac System icons: they are all designed to work correctly in B/W and Color mode (you get a correct B/W display of the icons, if you filter with 50% threshold aver the color value of 128). So why not simply take theese [copyright?]?
Okay, done. d:-)
An "improved" form of BIOS existed on IBM machines. It was called ABIOS (for multitasking purpuses). I don't know on which machines it was implemented.
Sounds interesting.
My suggestion for a simple and effective(?) start (of the project) would be: first, to write a simple monitor. The monitor should have the following features:
- to init the system (dma, irq, serial ports etc.)
-a simple "command line" with the commands:
What?!! Are we going back to the 70's? No WAY is there going to be any command line in Eric, save what you can emulate in a window.
No offence dude, but that is right out.
"load memory", "save memory", "dump memory", "go"
Yes, but as options in a window.
the load memory option should load the graphics bios from a server in the RAM of the client (the BIOS testing machine).
Nice one, agreed. <|;-)
save memory is the reverse option. All other options should be clear. Note that this "command line" option exists on some (super)computers.
Guess that's why it sux so bad d:-|
Or is it better to directly use a PC Emulator (like bochs?). Bye for now,
Emulation is the way to go, buddy! d:-)
Thanx for your stimulating words, they are much appreciated.
All the best, Gavin. - To unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@freiburg.linux.de with 'unsubscribe openbios' in the body of the message
