[Simh] Compiling AltairZ80 gives an executable with an issue...

[Alan Kamrowski II]

Hi Everyone,

 

I've tried compiling the simhv39-0.zip with my Borland compiler and it
compiles without errors, but using a configuration:

 

set cpu 8080

attach dsk0 cpm.dsk

attach dsk1 new.dsk

load dbl.bin ff00

go ff00

 

And a bootable CP/M image, I have a weird issue.  It will boot CP/M
properly, but if you do a directory you get:

 

Altair 8800 (Z80) simulator V3.9-0

256 bytes [1 page] loaded at ff00.

 

 

63K CP/M

Version 2.2mits (07/28/80)

A>dir

Bdos Err On A: Bad Sector

 

There is one way to get it to work, and that is to logon to drive B:, then
use Ctrl-C, then A:, then DIR.  It will work once.

A>b:

B>^C

B>a:

A>dir

A: L80      COM : W        COM : ED       COM : ASM      COM

A: DUMP     COM : ENIGMAX  COM : ASM      SUB : LS       COM

A: DO       COM : LOAD     COM : ENIGMA   COM : M80      COM

A: MAC      COM : PIP      COM : STAT     COM : DDT      COM

A: R        COM : NSWP     COM

A>dir

Bdos Err On A: Bad Sector

 

If I try this with the altairz80.exe from the EXE zip, it works fine.

 

I downloaded MINGW and used it to compile the 3.9.0.  It would not compile
until I added "-lws2_32 -lwinmm" to the linker flags.  Then it has the SAME
PROBLEM as the above!

 

I tried a 3.4.0 version of source, same problem!

 

So, two compilers, multiple versions, same problem.  Any thougths or ideas?

 

Thanks,

 

Alan
