RE: A85: EII driver, Summit
I got it working. It should now work on 3.0A, 4.0, 6.0, 8.0, 9.0 and 10.0
The problem was a very slightly corrupt PROM, and corrupt VROM.
I'm going to mail BETA 3 to BSHARP81@AOL.COM, and he will post it on the summit page.

I recompiled the VROM string, and now Summit works on 3.0A, 8.0, 9.0, an 10.0
I'm unsure why it doesn't work on 4.0/6.0, but I've got some work to do on it.
The VROM string in the backup is corrupt, but has the right data for ROM 8.0, and 10.0
I'll put out BETA 3, with the updated patch soon.

I've done some testing, and discovered that Summit only works on ROM
versions 8.0, and 10.0
I believe I know where the problem is: the ROM patcher. I know the summit
code works, so the problem must be the ROM patcher, or the ROM patch. I'm
going to do some testing on it now, and check my VROM string to make sure
it isn't corrupt. I'm going to check PROM for errors, too.

The types for those strings are showing up right. I made the stings a
different type other than a string, so TI-BASIC wouldn't mess with them.
I'll do some testing on saturday. I've been busy the past few days. Till
then, hang on. You can tweak the source code if you want, and see if you
can find the problem. :)
I think I know what the problem is, though. The ROM patching code. I
thought I had tested it on all ROM versions, though...I'll check again.

OK here is what I see:
MMMMMM 1206 STRNG
PROM 114 STRNG
PhatOS 1275 ?????-see note
Rigel 1699 ?????
Summit 430 STRNG
Text852 994 STRNG
UpShell 470 STRNG
Usgard 1851 ?????
VROM 49 STRNG
ZShell 12 ?????
bgkib 291 STRNG
gray4lib 157 STRNG
hexedit 839 STRNG
mem30 1346 STRNG
patchrom 518 STRNG
popchar 361 STRNG
romfix 178 STRNG
sf2bg 1073 STRNG
tetris 1540 STRNG
usgdcool 653 STRNG
wutang 1078 STRNG
Note the ????? display this in that field:an octal O, a small(square)
zero, a delta, an exclamation poing, a hex H.
When I page up the screen displays random charactors.
I just tryed to swich to PhatOS. The choices moved over to the middle
of the screen and there is a buch of lines and dots at the bottom of the
screen. It is now frozen.
