To be honest, I like the glitched aesthetic. Looks like it'll work fine if you just whack it hard enough on the side of the screen.

More updates to the CD-i driver, probably none of which will make Kale happy.

Removed a ton of crackle and pop from the audio, across the board:

Quizard 1, 2, 3 and 4 now fully working, although you have to wait about 25 seconds after starting up the machine before clicking 'Play' (the external MCU is supposed to force that input, but it's not wired up):






Additionally, Mega Maze no longer hangs when going in-game, and Santa Claus's Mice no longer issues a "disc dirty" error when pausing mid-story. Probably more things fixed associated with the CDIC, but I don't know about them.

Next stop is to figure out what's up with the MCD212 chipset.

I'm taking a look at the Philips VideoWriter stuff that was submitted:

I've had to create a preliminary NCR7250 device for the video, which needs more work as I see more features being used.


BBC Model B, ATPL Sidewise, Acorn Speech, 2xWatford Floppy Drives, AMX Mouse, Viglen case, etc.

Hi,

I've managed to obtain copies of original LSI-M3 system diskettes. All were 8" single sided format, but still worked in my restored M3, which has 8" double sided drives. I discovered the boot sector of these disks contains a single flag byte that informs the bootloader process (and CP/M OS) what disks the system should have. So I now have the same disks in 8" double sided format, and with partial support for either a 5 MB or a 10 MB "Winchester" drive. I say partial support, because the IDE hard disk driver code in my monitor prom doesn't work correctly with the original LSI version of CP/M. However, I am re-writing the hard disk driver code to emulate a Xebec S1410 disc controller as would have been fitted to a hard disk drive model M3.
