Unfortunately, this requires a lot of disk space, RAM and CPU speed - I had to learn when I ported the 2.52 version to OS-9 about 6 month ago. This OS-9 version contains a large number of drivers, including drivers for the MGR window manager, and comes with three different binaries (68000, 68020 without and with FPU). It is available through the European Forum For OS-9 (EFFO). For those who want to do their own port: L. Peter Deutsch (the spirit behind Ghostscript) agreed to let OS-9 enter the list of officially supported operating systems from the next version onwards (to be released at end 1993). Irrespectively, EFFO will continue to distribute compiled binaries, fonts and other material that is needed to have Ghostscript running under OS-9.

Can you highlight anything pertinent? #: 19384 S3/Languages 23-Nov-93 21:41:59 Sb: #19343-Ultra ???? C Fm: Carl Kreider 71076,76 To: Carl Kreider 71076,76 (X) Ultra C definately generates the smallest code, if you don't use any libraries. But, in real life..... I haven't found why the ucc compiled code bus traps, but I did find why the gcc compiled code died with 107 - it is blowing all the floating point stuff. I can't believe I am the only one to ever do floating point, so what am I doing wrong? I don't have a 68881 in the target, so need the emulation. A test program works with 1.37.1, but not on 2.4.1 or 2.4.5 (either July or Oct releases). Any ideas anyone?

Rossmann 70314,1766 Well, the replacement for the bad 68340 accelerator board arrived today, so I poped it in, reassembled everyting and powered the MM/1 up, and volla it worked! Boy am I ever clad, I thought there for a few days that I did someting wrong and blew the whole ting... Now I have to make a new bootfile for the hard drive, have one made for floppy boot, but there are quiet a few drivers that I need missing. But that will have to wait for another day. the next few days will be taken up by remodiling the basement, have to ad a badroom and a bedroom, and then the house will be finiched... Now all I have to do is getting the InfoXpress going on the MM/1, right now I'm using WinCim on my PC... G'Day! #: 19389 S12/OS9/68000 (OSK) 27-Nov-93 20:03:35 Sb: Gnu-C Fm: Bob van der Poel 76510,2203 To: All I think I asked this before and got no answer...so could someone pass it along on other nets? I can't seem to get debug information working with GCC. (I am using gcc2 2.4.5). The usage message indicates that -g will generate debug code for srcdbg. It doesn't appear to do so. If I enable the -v switch I can see that no -g is passed along to either c68 or l68. Either I'm missing something, or gcc2 is broken. I don't have gcc2 source so I'm inbetween a rock and a hard place since I need to use an ansi compiler for a current porting project.

Notice the 8 Meg of free RAM! You too can have this. There are two ways to get the hack. Ask me and I'll send you the details so you can do it yourself. However, be cautioned that this is not a pretty hack, nor is it easy to do. You'll need to have a good amount of experience in soldering, cutting traces, pulling pins up on already soldered in chips, piggybacking chips, and running tiny wires around on the board. If you have never done something like this, I wouldn't attempt it yourself. You can do permanent and fatal damage to the I/O board. The other method is to let me do it for you. For a $50 charge, I'll perform the hack, test it, and make a new init module for you. I'll also guarantee my work for a year (the hack only). All you need to do is send me your I/O board. If you want me to include the 4 Meg SIMMs, let me know. I haven't priced them lately, but I'm sure I can get some at a reasonable price for you. I should be able to do the hack and get your board back within 2 weeks. This would make a great Christman present to yourself. If anyone is interested, let me know via email.

Announcement for All MM/1 Owners The much rumored 4 Meg memory hack is now a reality. The Dirt Cheap Computer Stuff Co. has tested it and it works just fine. As a service to other MM/1 owners, we can provide those with the technical skills the details of the hack and you can go for it yourself. You'll need some real good soldering skills and be able to get some simple parts. Of course, if you do the hack yourself, you're on your own. For those not so technically inclined, or those not too sure about themselves, DccS will perform the hack for you for a small fee. If you are interested, send in your I/O board along with $50 and we'll do the hack for you, test it, and ship your board back within two weeks (unless we get swamped, then you'll be notified of the delay). If you would like us to get the SIMMs and install them for you, please contact me at the number and address below. For those who don't know what I'm talking about, the 4 Meg hack is a method to allow your MM/1 to use 4 Meg SIMMs without the need to buy a new backplane. This will give you a 9 Meg system, 1 Meg for video and 8 Meg of user RAM.

Nah ... I don' think that's the problem. More likely, he put together this file at the office and shipped it out over the Internet to me at wuarchive and asked that I post it on the CoCo LIST.
