Definitely thanks for the fix!

Are there any new known issues in 8239? I don't want to fix apple2gs and break 4 other systems I use... smile

If you know of any NEW problems in 8239 that would seriously hamper the use of any of these previous working systems, let me know... If you don't, well, then I guess you can't tell me what you don't know... smile

I will start checking these systems once I pick my SVN release to download. If I find something everyone else missed, well, I guess I'll post a message here... smile

I'm positive the various Apple IIs and the Mac 512ke/Plus/SE are all in good shape in 8239. I can't speak to the rest of those systems though smile

Currently working on getting additional Mac models to boot - I've fixed 3 failing tests in the IIci POST this weekend but there's more to go smile

You are right. smile
It seems, 800K images are not supported on Apple disk driver.

The IIgs drivers have 4 floppy drives emulated - -flop1 and -flop2 are 5.25", and -flop3 and -flop4 are 3.5". So 800K 3.5" images must be booted from -flop3.

This was not so clear for me. Thanks again. smile

I've updated the wiki's SysInfo page to reflect the correct usage for the floppy drives.

Ok, can someone tell me where I can get a windows binary for 8239? Or 8240 (current) if it's ok. There are issues with the numbered build (0.0137, 0.0138, etc) for a couple of the systems I regularly use, so those are not suitable... I roll my own on Mac OS X, but Windows I am not setup to compile in at home.

I guess I might have to wait for one of the automated build sites, and hope nothing else breaks before I can download a new binary... smile

Bobz had another when I just checked! And everything I have tested so far works! Including the SCRL-LCK/ESC/newui fix and the apple2gsr1 fix! Hoohoo! smile Thank you all! If everything works as I keep testing I'm saving this SVN build, lots more to test though, but as long as nothing I can find regresses... smile But for now....
