Vic Flash Plugin The Vic Flash Plugin is an "all-in-one" cartridge for the Commodore Vic-20 that consists of 4 megabytes in-system programmable Flash ROM and 32 kilobytes of RAM, enough for storing and running almost all Vic-20 software ever produced. You can try the Vic Flash Plugin in VICE, starting with release 2.2.5, as follows. xvic -cartfp menu-s.bin This is a sample menu image generated by makecart according to prg.txt. You can generate a more useful menu image from filelist.txt. It expects to find a collection of Vic-20 software in the "vic20" subdirectory. Invoke it as follows: make menu4m.bin xvic -cartfp menu4m.bin or (on real hardware) make flash4file.prg flash4m.bin Copy the files flash4file.prg and flash4m.bin to a medium that is accessible from a Vic-20 that is equipped with the Flash Plugin cartridge. Start the Vic-20 and invoke the loader, editing the file name if necessary. POKE38913,32:SYS64802 LOAD"FLASH4FILE.PRG",8 LIST 2011 SYS4127"FLASH.BIN"::::::: 2011 SYS4127"FLASH4M.BIN"::::: RUN Features The RAM expansion type can be selected programmatically. The BLK5 memory block can be write-protected for running ROM-protected cartridge images. For maximum compatibility, the configuration registers can be hidden until hardware reset. Software All software is licensed under the GNU General Public License, either version 2 (or at your option) any later version of the license. Some parts are derived from PuCrunch by Pasi 'Albert' Ojala. All other parts were written by Marko Makela. The machine language software has been translated with the XA (xa65) cross-assembler by Andre Fachat and others. makecart Cartridge image generator software. Contains code from the PuCrunch compressor by Pasi 'Albert' Ojala. Sample source files are in prg.txt and filelist.txt. flash4file Generates a flash programming image file for flash4.s and flash4file.s out of a 4M image generated by makecart. ramtest.s 32K RAM test. Starts in the unexpanded configuration. flash4.s Copies data from 24k expanded RAM (POKE38913,56:SYS64802) to Flash ROM. Replace the last zero byte with operation codes and payload. See the source code for details. For "production" use, integration with the cbmlink suite is planned. flash4file.s Copies data from a file (default "flash.bin") to Flash ROM. The file is to be generated like this: "flash4file menu-s.bin flash.bin". You may change the file name on the SYS line, provided that you do not change the length of the line. The program can be rerun. flash4-s.prg A stand-alone program that copies the sample image menu-s.bin to the flash memory. This can be used for testing the hardware. Requires a 24K memory configuration (POKE38913,56:SYS64802). readme.s Quick reference for using the menu software. menu.s The menu software. Contains code from the PuCrunch decompressor by Pasi 'Albert' Ojala. The menu software automatically selects the correct RAM expansion type for program images. The selection can be overridden at image creation time (with a '3' or '8' immediately after the closing quote; see makecart.c, and see filelist.txt for examples). By holding a key during hardware reset or pressing a key in the menu, you can enter the Commodore BASIC interpreter in different memory configurations: key memory configuration STOP unexpanded (3583 bytes free) 3 3 KiB memory expansion (6655 bytes free) 8 24 KiB memory expansion (28159 bytes free) (compatible with 8 KiB and 16 KiB) Because the menu software skips the slow memory test, it will exit to BASIC instantaneously. You can also hold one of these keys during the reset sequence in order to avoid entering the menu altogether. If you additionally hold the SHIFT key, you can hide the configuration registers until hardware reset, for maximum compatibility with programs that write to normally unmapped address space. The menu software is accessed by the keyboard as follows. key memory configuration a-z jump to the next item starting with the letter A-Z jump to the previous item starting with the letter CRSR UP line up CRSR DOWN line down CRSR LEFT page up CRSR RIGHT page down HOME first item SHIFT+HOME last item RETURN activate the selected item SHIFT+RETURN activate the selected item, hiding the configuration registers Acknowledgements I would like to express my thanks to the following people: Juha Kouri for * the idea * implementing the bank switching logic in VHDL * sourcing the parts and manufacturing the circuit boards for the prototypes Pasi 'Albert' Ojala for * writing and releasing PuCrunch under a reasonable license * correspondence over the years The VICE team for * perfecting VICE so that it runs the menu software without glitches * "reference implementations" of bank-switched memory expansions Hannu Nuotio for * applying my initial patch to VICE * implementing Am29F032B programming emulation my sons for * showing interest to retro computing * motivating me to complete this project my wife Heli for * bearing said sons * bearing with me while I worked on this project http://www.iki.fi/~msmakela/8bit/vfp/
