Subject: ANNOUNCE: KEGS v0.38 released From: kentd@cup.hp.com (Kent Dickey) Date: Tue, Jul 28, 1998 15«36 EDT Message-id: <6pl98j$db4$1@ocean.cup.hp.com> KEGS is an Apple //gs emulator for Unix. It runs on HPUX workstations, x86 Linux, Linux on PowerPC, and now possibly on OS/2. KEGS runs quite well on my PowerCenter 240 (a Mac clone) at 240MHz, running at 13-15MHz. I include a MkLinux binary that should work on LinuxPPC, I hope. It runs at about 25MHz on my HP C240. KEGS can be download from: http://www.mtnweb.com/~kentd/kegs/ Unfortunately, my ISP is going away (I'm not exactly sure when), so grab it while you can. I'll post when I get a new web address. Changes in KEGS v0.38 since v0.37 - IWM bugs: - fast_disk_emul off under GS/OS caused I/O errors. KEGS was always slowing down to 1MHz when 5.25" drive was on, when it should have been obeying the $C036 register. - bug in IWM on little-endian processors - disk ejection should now work, but a beta user claimed some bugs on x86 Linux. - 2IMG support, but only lightly tested. - Removed some internal breaks on access to $C0B0 for tool033. - Modulae also stumbled into some breakpoints by writing to $C02F, which does nothing. - Screen refresh simplified (for me) by redrawing the screen while raster is on first scan-line, rather than line 200. However, a side effect is some of the graphics during the XMAS DEMO look a bit choppier. - More SCC fixes to avoid breakpoints under GNO. - Start support for sound under Linux, but it sounds horrible right now. Any Linux sound gurus want to help out? - Fixed possible array-overrun bug in video.c around border effects. Maybe shared memory works under x86 Linux now? - Made changes for OS/2 port to fopen() text files. From Blue Neon. Thanks to everyone for their bug reports. GNO serial port emulation should also now work better. Kent Dickey kentd@cup.hp.com
