RE: A85: EII driver, Summit




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.
