AMC-OSX Question - Sylvain Cote - 02-18-2020 04:17 AM
Hello Ángel & Monte,
There is a file (AMCOSX4.ROM) in the last version of the rom files (rom_files_200130.zip) that is not listed in any of the memory reference files (mem_ref_v5.txt, mem_ref_v2.txt & mem_ref.txt).
If this a version of AMC-OSX (AMC-OSX.ROM) using library 4 (LIBRARY4.ROM) ?
Sylvain
EDIT: I just checked and I it seems that it had been there forever (since 2012) but I never took notice.
RE: AMC-OSX Question - Monte Dalrymple - 02-18-2020 05:04 AM
It's probably an early version, where I didn't scrub it from the directory after a name change.

I guess you refer to the "AOSX" ROM image located at 0x092, yes?
That's a modified version of the "CCDX", the CCD_OS/X ROM (located at 0x087).
As such, it's a precursor of the definitive "OSX3", i.e AMC_OS/X Bank-switched module... enough to get your head spin ;-)
In summary, IMHO the AOSX image is a little old but worthwhile keeping there , if anything the slot could be reused later on by a newer module (space in the lower 1MB is at a premium)

I am currently listing all your ROM files and in the process trying to build the dependency and relationship between them.

I am using your modules in a live demonstration of my HHC2020 presentation on Diego's modules. (teasing: 100+ slides and 2 x 1h sessions)
One of the demo is with a Clonix-D module with unmerged blocks (2 blocks of 24K).
I cannot use 4LIB, WARP & OSX3 at the same time (32K) because it does not fit in the space I have (24K), so I have used 4LIB, WARP & AOSX. (20K)

ah, so it's a .ROM file in the monthly archive folder but it's not an entry in the IMDB, I got you now...
FWIW the latest AMCOSX4.ROM file I have in my local archive is dated May/15/2013, and the latest AMC-OSX.ROM is dated January/20/2012... so it appears the one to keep is the first one of both, my bad for keeping versions with different names!

Yes, I believe so.
A word of caution: the current Library#4 *should* be backwards compatible to support this older AMCOSX ROM , but there is the possibility to have glitches... let me know if you find any.

I will send en email to Monte about it.
