  • Patching DOS 5 and up for the Pcjr
    Patching DOS 5 and up for the PCjr November 29th, 2020 [email protected] Background Patching DOS 5+ Theory of operation Preparing a DOS 5 disk Patching the DOS 5+ disk Create FORMATJR.COM Hard drive installation Fdisk and create a DOS partition Format the hard drive partition Appendix A - Wiping out a boot sector Background The PCjr shipped in 1983 in two configurations: a 64KB machine with no floppy disk drive or a 128KB machine with a single floppy disk drive. The architecture of the machine has the video buffer “borrow” memory from the main memory of the machine. With the standard 16KB video buffer this makes the available RAM either 48KB or 112KB. IBM never offered a hard drive solution. Adding extra memory to a PCjr became possible, but it required a device driver to be loaded at boot time. Microsoft, Tecmar, and other vendors provided device drivers with their memory expansions. The best of the device drivers was a shareware program called jrConfig written by Larry Newcomb. jrConfig can be downloaded from http://www.brutman.com/PCjr/pcjr_downloads.html. The original version of DOS that shipped with the PCjr was PC DOS 2.1. DOS versions 2.1 through 3.3 work on the machine as is. To run DOS 5 or later two things are required: ● Extra memory is required. While extra memory is useful for DOS 2.1 - 3.3, DOS 5 won’t even boot on a small system. I BM formally states the requirement is 512KB and the PCjr is not supported. ● DOS 5 can be patched to work on a PCjr even though it is not supported.

  • Saving Data from the Keil Μvision5 Debugger to a File
    Saving data from the Keil µVision5 debugger to a file Example: I wish to save the contents of the following array of 16 8-bit data values. char keys[] = { 1, 4, 7, 14, //Column 1/PB4, Rows 0-3 2, 5, 8, 0, //Column 2/PB5, Rows 0-3 3, 6, 9, 15, //Column 3/PB6, Rows 0-3 10, 11, 12, 13 //Column 4/PB7, Rows 0-3 }; Method 1: Display the values in the command window while logging them to a file. In the command window, create a log file and “dump” the contents of the array or memory block: >log > keys.log -- create “log file” keys.log >d &keys[0], &keys[15] --“dump” data between the two specified addresses >0x20000008 01 04 07 0E 02 05 08 00 - 03 06 09 0F 0A 0B 0C 0D ................ >log off -- stop logging data Contents of saved file keys.log: 0x20000008 01 04 07 0E 02 05 08 00 - 03 06 09 0F 0A 0B 0C 0D ................ Start Address Data equivalent “characters” Method 2: Write the values in any desired format to a file via a user-defined function in the debugger. The function can be invoked from the µVision command line or from a button in the toolbox. Define a function in the µVision Function Editor (see Figure 1), which is opened from the Debug menu (Debug > Function Editor). Enter the function, compile it, and save it in an “initialization file” (eg. displayvalues.ini). The function in Figure 1 will create a log file, print the contents of array keys[] to the file, using the format in the printf statement, and then close the log file.

  • How Do I Clear Partitions Using the Debug Script? WARNING
    How do I clear partitions using the Debug script? WARNING - DELETING PARTITIONS WILL ALSO DELETE EVERYTHING ON YOUR COMPUTER, THAT MEANS EVERYTHING. PROGRAMS, DOCUMENTS, PICTURES, LETTERS, EMAIL, EVERYTHING. Make sure you have backup media before you continue like a Windows cd, driver cd, programs, and backup your data first*** If you have data on the drive and you can't stand to loose it (and your sure you don't have a virus) you may want to deltree the drive or delete the registry and reinstall. Here is the script: Boot to a Windows boot disk and use the following script. If debug can't be found on the Windows boot disk you may have to extract it. The computer will generate the text in red and you will type the text in white, where it says (ENTER) just hit the Enter key don't type the word. After the computer restarts you will need to run FDISK to repartition the hard drive then format and reinstall Windows. At A:> type ….. debug (ENTER) -F 220 L1000 0 (ENTER) -A CS:100 (ENTER) xxxx:0100 MOV AX,301 (ENTER) xxxx:0103 MOV BX,200 (ENTER) xxxx:0106 MOV CX,1 (ENTER) xxxx:0109 MOV DX,80 (ENTER) <---"80" for hd1, "81" for hd2 > xxxx:010C INT 13 (ENTER) xxxx:010E INT 20 (ENTER) xxxx:0110 (ENTER) <-------BLANK LINE "VERY IMPORTANT" > -G (ENTER) Program terminated normally (CTRL)-(ALT)-(DEL) to reboot system CLEAR CMOS using Debug If you think you may have a virus that infects the BIOS you may also want to clear that as well, otherwise it could infect your hard drive after you install Windows.

  • In This Tutorial, We'll Discuss How to Use the IDE Debugger to Examine And
    Tutorial Introduction PURPOSE: – To explain how to use the CodeWarrior Debugger to examine and modify data. OBJECTIVES: – Describe how to examine data variables. – Describe how to modify variable values. – Describe how to examine and modify memory and processor registers. CONTENT: – 16 pages – 2 questions LEARNING TIME: – 20 minutes In this tutorial, we’ll discuss how to use the IDE Debugger to examine and modify data. CodeWarrior enables you to manipulate your source code to display and change the contents of variables, arrays, and data structures. You can also use the Debugger to work at the hardware level if necessary. Upon completion of this tutorial, you’ll be able to describe how to examine data variables and how to modify variable values. You’ll also be able to describe the low-level operations supported by the Debugger to view and modify sections of memory and the processor registers. 1 Data Basics • Among other features, the Debugger can display -- – all variables, both local and global. – the contents of memory. – the processor registers. • Data appears in panes and separate windows. • Variables have a name and a value. – Select the name or value to initiate actions. – Drag separating line to resize name/value columns. • Values are almost always editable. • Use hierarchy control for structures and pointers. Let’s begin with a look at data and variables. You can use the Debugger to display a large amount of data. This data is organized into separate windows and then into panes for easy viewing and access. Typically, a glance at the Variables pane in the Thread Window will reveal the status of code execution.

  • Debug Command Synopsis This Handout Is Intended As a Handy Reference Guide for Performing the More Common Operations in DEBUG
    Debug Command Synopsis This handout is intended as a handy reference guide for performing the more common operations in DEBUG. Not all commands are covered. Debug understands only hex. Neither decimal or binary numbers are accepted. Consequently, a trailing "H" to denote base 16 is not accepted. 1. Help. Type -? at the - prompt to get a complete list of DEBUG commands and syntax. 2. Specifying addresses. Many debug commands allow an address to specified. Addresses can be specified as offsets or segment:offset combinations. The segment and offset can be specified with either numeric addresses or segment registers. Examples: U ffff:0000 starts disassembly at address FFFF:0000 U 121 starts disassembly at offset 121 from the CS register. U DS:3F00 starts disassembly at offset 3F00 from the DS register. 3. Specifying ranges. Many debug commands (for example the D command) allow an optional range to be specified. Ranges can be specified as either startAddr endAddr or as StartAddr L Length. Examples: D 100 displays 128 bytes (the default value) from DS:100 on D 100 200 displays 257 bytes between DS:100 and DS:200 inclusive D 100 L 100 displays 256 bytes starting at DS:100 D 503 L 2 displays 2 bytes starting at DS:503 4. Flags. T is not displayed. ODISZA PC Set: OV UP EI NG ZR AC PE CY Clear: NV DN DI PL NZ NA PO NC 5. Starting DEBUG. A. To start DEBUG without loading a program into memory, just type DEBUG at the command prompt and press Enter. DEBUG assumes that you want to assemble a .COM program and will start with all segment registers having the same value, IP = 0100, and SP = FFFE.

  • DEBUG Manual STARTING DEBUG
    DEBUG Manual This tutorial is made to present an overview of the DEBUG.COM program for the IBM PC. This utility can be extremely useful, when used correctly. It is almost a must for Assembler Language programmers, and can also provide an insight into the operation of the machine at the bit level. It has several nice features, including the ability to display and change any of the registers in the IBMPC, start and stop program execution at any time, change the program, and look at iskettes, sector by sector. DEBUG works at the machine code level, ut it does also have the ability to disassemble machine code, and (at dos 2.0), assemble instructions directly into machine code. The rocedure for starting DEBUG and command syntax will not be covered here, as they are well documented in the DOS manual. What we ill do s show some examples of the various commands and the response hich is expected. Note that the segment registers will probably not be xactly what is shown. This is normal, and should be expected. For the examples, I will be using the demo program CLOCK.COM in the XA4 atabase. For those of you with the IBM assembler (MASM), the source can be down loaded. If you do not have the assembler, or have another assembler, the file CLOCK.HEX has been up loaded. It can be converted to a .COM file using any of the existing HEX conversion rograms on the SIG. See the file CLOCK.DOC for more information. STARTING DEBUG There are two ways to start DEBUG with a file.
