Apple /// SOS driver for the DAN II controller card

dan2on3's Issues

Bug in a3rompatch.py

I think there is a mistake in a3rompatch.py

line 27 reads "if (i>=0x1FC0)and(i<=0x1FEF):"
but should be "if (i>=0x0FC0)and(i<=0x0FEF):"
0x1FC0 is 8128, so the expression is never true for "range(4096)" and the checksum is not calculated correctly.

The correct value for the byte at (f)6e5 is 0x57.

Question: Need autostart ROM?

If I don't plan to use the Dan][ card in emulation mode, and I manually configure the slot number, do I even need the EEPROM installed?

Missing config files

Are some files missing from the "Apple3SOS.DAN2on3.Config.dsk"? When I copied it over to my system with ADTPro, the only thing on the disk is "DAN2ON3.DRIVER". This is not a bootable disk. (Can also just look at the image in CiderPress.) This text in the README file seems to indicate there should be more: "a separate configuration disk "Apple3SOS.DAN2on3.Config.dsk" is provided for convenience. It provides the same configuration options as known from the controller's Apple II boot menu."

Documentation update request

I got the make process working on windows WSL2 with Ubuntu 22.04, but it l had to add python 2.7 to run a3driverutil.py. (Python 3.10.6 throws a bunch of errors on this file, but works fine otherwise.) In the driver Makefile it also specifies "python" on line 20, compared to "python3" on line 18. The readme.md file only mentions the need for python3.

JRE is required too. (To run AppleCommander. Neither python2 or JRE were included with my default Linux installation.)

Also, in the readme.md file section "Controller Volume Configuration" note it says "The menu now supports the flexible volume mapping, which is supported by newer firmware" - could you clarify which version of firmware added this? (Newer and older are kind of ambiguous.)

New release?

Could you create a new (prebuilt) "release" for version 2.1.1 please?
