With some prodding from Gord, I found the disk(s) with source code to my driver. My ACE-1000s are all non-functional, so I can't read the disks, so I'm going to mail them to Gord and he will copy them and put the code on-line.

From what I remember, given it's been a few years...

(1) I had a version running that called the ProDOS entry points in the CFFA code. Ie, my code pretended to be ProDOS. It worked MOST of the time but something wasn't right occasionally but I can't remember what.

(2) It was S...L...O...W... so I started rewriting to access hardware directly and avoid ProDOS. Never got it working. It also supported only a single slot, but that was a short-term short-cut just to get as many variables out of the picture as possible.

(3) I can't remember if the disk has two different versions of the source or conditionals to build the ProDOS/non-ProDOS versions.

(4) My intention was to make the code public domain, but can't remember if there is a copyright that says I reserve commercial rights. Nobody's going to make money from this, but if they do, they need to ask me first ;-) The community is free to put the code where others can get to it, fix bugs, make improvements, etc. I might join the effort again if I can get one of my ACEs running again (anyone have a working unit or a known-good keyboard?).

Have fun :)

Hey all:

Lots of progress lately, especially considering my CFFA3000 just arrived (yay!) The secret is: you need an Applicard. Then, all becomes easy!

I've been posting my progress on getting CP/M running on my CFFA on my blog, check it out and let me know what you think!

I've also been communicating with Bob Applegate about the native driver, watch this space for more info and source:

Regards,
