Clonix issue with built-in HEPAX

[Jurgen Keller]

Some good news: I used HEXEDIT to fill 8FE0-8FFF with zeros and did the same for pages 9, A, B. Surprisingly, it works now!

Using MCED (available now and running fine) I verified the contents of the RAM page links and it's a little bit unexpected:

Code:


      P.6  P.7  P.8  P.9  P.A  P.B  P.C  P.D  P.E  P.F  comment
xFE7            00B  008  009  000                      HEPAX prev page, 000 = none
xFE8            009  00A  000  008                      HEPAX next page, 000 = none

HEPAX RAM file system links: B <-> 8 <-> 9 <-> A

I have no idea why that happened. Anyway, I changed it to the default and it still works fine (as expected).

On the one hand, I'm happy, but on the other hand I'm also wondering why this beast behaved that badly before. Usually, I want to know the root cause.

A big thanks to Sylvain whose detailed test report helped me a lot.
