| Gemdos + GEM for lisa | |
| Posted by: gilles on 2018-02-01 14:49:58 I found lisa gem binaries years ago (somewhere in old digital research archive that went public from Caldera here for example http://www.deltasoft.com/downloads-gemworld.htm). The gemport file contains lisa binaries. Reading sources I found the way to pack this as a bootable lisa floppy image (tested under emulator for now). Lisa + gemdos was the first devkit for atari ST TOS development http://www.dadhacker.com/blog/?p=1000  | |

| Posted by: gilles on 2018-02-02 03:20:38 tested on real hardware (lisa 2/10 + Xprofile) ... until command boot (my lisa keyboard is faulty with lots of partial pads inside 🙂 ) | |

| Posted by: gilles on 2018-02-13 04:20:42 disc image (for 400k floppy only) is on my page (and binary for Idle emulator on sourceforge are now r23 release (needed for gemdos because I was throwing an unexpected bus error on some condition)). http://www.alternative-system.com/?page=gemdos_lisa&lang=EN http://www.alternative-system.com/files/gemdos_lisa/binary/gemdos.dc (fixed) tool will be put on github later | |
| Posted by: lucaseverini on 2018-02-18 16:47:29 Hello, I tried to create a 400K Lisa floppy with both Dart and DiskCopy 4.2 Floppy creation doesn't report any error, but when I boot the Lisa with that floppy, it stops with the hourglass after 10-20 seconds. I have a Lisa 2/10 with 400K floppy, 2MB Ram, X/Profile and SCSI disk (tried with both switched off). Do you have any idea why it doesn't boot? Thank you! | |
| Posted by: Dog Cow on 2018-02-18 18:44:31 Discussion on LisaList seems to show that the program is hardcoded for 1MB of RAM. | |
| Posted by: gilles on 2018-02-19 07:53:28 it appears that the gemdos part is unfinished, but I posted a new image that should work for 1.5 and 2Mb ramsize. The problem with more than 1mb is that video base address is not where the coders from DRI hardcoded it. I added a builtin command "MAGIC" in command.prg to force the normal value of 1Mb lisa.
