Didn't understand the reason.
They brought back some long-dead drivers for the final release.
- Also DD.MAC in the 5.0 - 5.4 and 5.7 changes often.
I tested tu58fs with oversized TU58 tape for 5.3 and 5.7, the number of
blocks is always patched into into offset 0x2c, 0x2d in DD.SYS
I don't know why you're saying that in hex ...
- I made a working DD.SYS with
.macro DD,
.link DD,
.rename DD.SAV DD.SYS
I think you probably want "link dd/nobitmap/exe:dd.sys". The /nobitmap
gets rid of some of the junk in block 0.
Do you know how to make DDX.SYS? Must be a conditional
MACRO symbol.
You want to stick XM.MAC in front of your source file. I can never
remember the exact DCL syntax. Something like "mac xm+dd/obj:ddx".
