[Coco] Um3.init help needed

[Bill Pierce]

ok... got you now.
Here's what I get on the VCC emulator running at 512k, 6309, nitros9 239.
before running umuse3: mfree - blks=30 size=384
umuse3 running with large score loaded: mfree - blks=13 size 152

you know your system and the requirements... would this be too much memory for it to run?

> And here I was thinking you were refering to Ultimuse3 instead of Ubox3
 or I would have simply said it's "key command" oriented :-o Yep... no
 mice crawling in ubox3... An exellent player by the way. I used to use
 it to show of all my ume music unless I was really showing off to a
 musician friend then I'd use Ultimuse3 so I'd have all the staves on
 the screen and look all professional and stuff LMAO

orry 'bout that, I should have been clearer.  I don't seem to be able to 
un Ultimuse3, I assume its out of memory system memory.  I don't believe I 
an make a boot disk using drivewire, that leaves enough memory to run 
ltimuse3, I would have to leave sacia, t2.dd and probably 2 or 3 other 
hings which would severely cripple it for any other use than running 
muse3 with drivewire.  Probably not impossible to do, so I may try.
I have spent some time playing with the mouse while studying my current 
ersion of l51.defs, and I do not see any obvious mistakes.
The location of the mouse packet I am referring to can be easily seen as 
ts defined as being at $10EC in system ram, by vtiodefs_cc3, so if dmem 
nd dump are loaded into memory, a loop can be constructed to give an about 
nce per second update printout on screen, of the packet buffers contents.
ccording to that, my joydrv_6551L.sb is doing it right.
What puzzles me, is that the SS.Mouse call returns a $3C long buffer filled 
ith every conceivable item about the mouse, but so far I have failed to 
ind where in the SS.Mouse call, the translation between the 8 byte wide 
uffer specified in vtiodefs_cc3, using Bruce Isteads byline as the 
riginator, and the $3C sized buffer that is returned by SS.Mouse and can 
e accessed via varname,x in subsequent programs that use a mouse.
I did look at the src for SS.Mouse in 2008 when the question came up as I 
as writing joydrv_6551L.asm, me asking me WTH? but that code and the $3C 
uffers contents aren't even playing the same game. let alone in the same 
all park.  :(
I guess that is the price I pay for trying to fix Tandy's crap so it 
ctually works!
Cheers, Gene
