I'm about to release cbmlink 0.9.5 soon. It'll support the C2N232 on
the Amiga, and I'd like to fully support FreeBSD and MS-DOS as well.
(GNU/Linux, MS-Win32 and Mac OS X are already supported.)
I'd like to have some beta testers who could confirm whether the
parallel cables (PC64, native prlink, Frank Kontros' cable) work on
FreeBSD (both via the parallel port device and via direct I/O access)
and MS-DOS derivatives (PC-DOS, FreeDOS).
I solved some problems there were with the MS-DOS version of cbmlink.
The compiler I'm using doesn't know about the #elif preprocessor
directive, it's line counter is buggy, and its assembler requires
immediate operations to be flagged explicitly, and its linker prefers to
crash instead of complaining about undefined symbols. But it's free and
open source. :-)
Luckily I now have a test environment (dosemu+FreeDOS on my Debian
GNU/Linux system), but I'd like to know if the program works on other
versions of DOS. In particular, I'd like to see if the ctrl-break flag
(bit 7 at 40:71) works everywhere. (Yes, you can interrupt transfers
also on DOS!)
