Hello,
I've pulled the IntVidTest version 0.4.1 source for the 1.2 kernel and
tried to build a 1.3.2 kernel for a Classic II by looking at the
differences. As far as I can see, all the code is in machdep.c and most
of the that (i.e. the screen locations, size, etc) is in the 1.3.2
version except one call to check_video. I tried to e-mail Norikai
Yamada, who made the kernel I'm currently using, but I couldn't find an
e-mail address for him and the ones I guessed are obviously wrong.
I put in the call to check_video with little confidence that I had
understood what is going on, and indeed the kernel I built crashed into
the debugger on boot. Does anyone have any clues as to where I should be
looking/changing things?
[Note this is 1.3.2, not current. Does current work on a Classic II yet?
If not, is there a plan for making it work?]
Yours,
Andrew
