[Coco] Vcc - Drivewire4 How to??

[Bill Pierce]

Your peeks are wrong. It should be 55608, 55609, & 55610.
You should not have to set the offset if using the proper rom. it's already set. These are turnkey systems... setting anything will probably cause them not to work. If all components are in place, no setting should have to be made.

  If addresses $D938-$D93A is where the offset is stored then why after setting the offset to  when I type PRINT PEEK(2360) do I get zero and also get zero for  PRINT PEEK(2361)  and  PRINT PEEK(2362)  If I have done my Hex conversion right $0938=2360.  It seems to me rather then get 0,0,0 I should be getting 5,160,0  which is the decmal equivalent of 05,A0,00 hex.On 2018-07-05 18:09, Robert Gault wrote:> It really would help if you listed everything you are doing, not just> one or two items.> > 1) Since you are using the Becker NitrOS-9 disk, then you should be> using Drivewire set for "emulator or other TCP device."> 2) If you want to boot NitrOS-9 from a floppy mounted on Drivewire,> you should use a Becker ROM with a $00000 offset not $5A000.
