[Coco] HDB-DOS build fixes. Untested as of yet.

[Charlie Pelosi]

Hi Juan. I downloaded and programmed an eprom of the hdbdoscc1.rom from the link you included

.

The system starts and I see HDB-DOS 1.3 DW3 COCO 1

 

It still does not work though, I just get I/O error on the coco and UNKNOWN OPCODE on the DW4 sever (4.3.0)

 

And older version of the rom 1.1D works fine, so the config is good.

 

I do notice something hard to describe. When the coco 1 tries to do I/O through DW the screen gets these very subtle verticle lines that jump all over, almost like interference.....

In the makefile that's in the hg repository, there's this command which,
supposedly, should generate a list of equates:

mamou -q -mr equates.asm bas.asm -sa > cb_equates.asm

And a similar one for the ECB equates. Thing is, that command generates a
text file that's NOT a valid ASM file with EQUs. Rather, it looks like
this. The build, of course, fails miserably:

Symbol table:
ABS        $BC93     ALLCOL     $00B5     ANGLE      $00E8     ARYDIS
$0008
ARYEND     $001F     ARYTAB     $001D     ASC        $B6A0     ATTCTR
$0988
AUDIO      $A990     BACDST     $A074     BAKCOL     $00B3     BASIC
$A000
(...etc)

So I did a small AWK script to create the correct EQU list from that text.
I also added the build of a CoCo 1 ROM by defining the BAUD38400 symbol,
which wasn't being done. That, I hope, may fix my DW woes with the CoCo 1.

All of this is as yet untested. Will do that later today. The diff and the
.ROM files I generated are at http://users.vialink.com.br/jcastro/hdbdos/
