mntmnback on zz9000, i do ~not~ understand why kickstart would not read my ROM when the card is zorro 222:29
mntmnit reads only 1 word from it22:29
mntmni mean, 1 word from the er_InitDiagVec22:29
mntmn(in my case, offset 0x6000)22:29
_BnuIf it doesn't find the value it expects there, it'll just return instantly without doing anything.22:30
_BnuI forget what it's looking for, 90 or something.22:31
_Bnu$9022:31
mntmnyeah, ok, i mean when i look with mon i have 90 there22:31
mntmn(0x90)22:31
mntmnin the first byte22:31
mntmni.e. the first word is 0x900022:31
_BnuThen it should be happy...22:32
mntmnTIL about ShowConfig DEBUG22:32
mntmnthat shows "ROM diag vec valid", and er_InitDiagVec = $600022:32
_BnuWhat's the size of the ROM?22:34
mntmn0x200022:34
_BnuSince it can only be max 64KB total with Zorro 2 like that, that's probably not the issue though.22:35
mntmnbut it does not read the rom size22:35
mntmnlike, it reads only from 0x6000, but the size is in 0x6002 (+3)22:35
_BnuYeah, that's really weird... I remember stepping through the code for this back when I first added it, trying to figure out what the hell it was doing, and the $90 is the only thing I can remember as a complete showstopper...22:38
mntmn:/22:39
mntmnthanks for confirming, though22:39
mntmnhmm. totally stumped22:45
mntmnok, found the issue22:47
apolkosnik[m];-) 0x90 on x86 is NOP ;-) 22:50
mntmnthe issue is that ethernet/usb startup take too long22:51
mntmnand the rom reads also go through arm22:51
mntmnbut if the first read takes too long it times out or something22:52
_BnuAh yeah, I forgot about that.22:59
_BnuDTACK is invalid for too long, so it gives up.22:59
mntmnyes23:00
mntmninteresting that Z3 tolerates it23:00
_BnuZ3 has AXIS DMA, though.23:00
_BnuAxis and Allies.23:00
_BnuI guess it might be because Z3 is technically async while Z2 isn't.23:01
mntmnhmm that's true.23:10
mntmnok, i made the zz9000os boot 1 million times faster and that helped23:19
mntmnahahah column swap bug is back... wow23:20
_BnuOnly one million times!23:26
mntmnyeah that is the minimum...23:45
