how about True Basic?

Amiga Marketplace / Looking for a AmigaOne X5000

Hi, I am looking for an AmigaOne X5000. I would like to do some work to the PCIe driver. Would someone have a system they would be willing to sell me? Thanks!

BASinC is an IDE for Sinclair BASIC and that doesn't run on Windows either. BASinC is an emulator with ROM hooks to allow an IDE to operate on the in-memory BASIC code, run it, debug it, inspect variables etc etc.

I guess the OP wants something like that for AmigaBASIC.



I mean, I would have made a BASin for AmigaBASIC but... AmigaBASIC is bloody awful.

No. The name "scsi.device" does say nothing about its function. The A4000T ROM has a scsi.device for IDE and another one for SCSI. There are many more expansions which use the name scsi.device for their drivers, but they are all for different hardwares. It is a convention that drivers which find the name scsi.device already in use rename themselves to 2nd.scsi.device, 3rd.scsi.device and so on. The same happens in the A4000T. If there are no IDE devices, the SCSI driver is called scsi.device. If there are no SCSI devices, the IDE driver is scsi.device. If both are present, IDE is scsi.device and SCSI is 2nd.scsi.device.

So just renaming would not work, as you would still need the driver to point to another address, else it would still conflict I'm guessing.

How can you have an IDE for Amiga Basic running on Windows?

Amiga Basic does not run on windows ?

I am not a hardware expert but I believe in theory this should be possible. You would also have to make a 2nd.scsi.device which looks at the new address range. And you won't be able to boot from the TF IDE any more unless you hack a Kickstart ROM which contains both scsi.device drivers.

Could you use the 2nd.scsi.device from A4000T rom?

Ah, Thank You for the explanation, makes sense.  I assume it's not something as simple as selecting a different memory region in the source and building new a new .jed for the TF?  Probably beyond my abilities anyway, but I'm grasping at straws as I'd really like to use the 44 pin IDE for the CD and ZIP drives.

Thx again!

There is a big difference between multiple IDE expansions in an A2000 and the mainboard IDE of an A600 or A1200.

The former do Autoconfig which lets the OS assign a different memory address to each expansion. The latter just appears at a fixed memory address.

And that's your problem: both the Minimig and the TF mimic the onboard IDE at its fixed memory address. As the CPU is on the TF, it takes precedence and overlays the same address of the Minimig. You cannot use both at the same time.
