FO Meltdown

Added by foft almost 8 years ago

I upgraded my server for the meltdown patch and my hard drive took the opportunity to die. So that was fun...

Not much progress on this side. I played around in WUDSN with programming the new highres modes which was quite fun. They are running pretty well. I just need to get motivated to squash the remaining alignment bugs.

No takers for helping by writing an 80-column E: driver? Or better supporting all the modes by using e.g. Gr 8+64 or Gr8+128? That would be awesome. I did some initial playing and checked out the OS++ and OS source code. I think this is a project in itself though.

Given the current state of the project, do you think we should make more boards? Or better off to hold off for another year while we squash bugs and add features?

Very cool. I would love to help with the 80-column E: driver but I have no skill to do it. The progress sounds promising but I think it would be good to make more progress before making more boards. Just my two cents worth. :)

At this rate by the time I've finished you'll have learnt how to write and E: driver ;-)

Decided to go ahead with the board fixes, though agree there is still a lot to do. VladR is interested in helping out with the firmware and I thought I might get one or two more people on board.
