TurboDOS V1.43 runs on Altairz80

[retrogear]

Thanks to previous work by Per Frejvall and Peter Schorn, I was able to upgrade
an altairz80 emulation of TurboDOS to version 1.43. It launches from a cp/m 2.2
pre-boot. I appear to have 2 hard drives. It's still a work in process since
I'm learning TurboDOS on the fly. I also discovered TurboDOS has those nasty
serial numbers which the system gen command rejects. The number seems to be encoded
in the 3 bytes at offset 11h in the system .REL files. I had a chicken/egg dilemma
but eventually was able to use all original .rel files and the 1.43 gen command.
It also appears that to run the gen command within turbodos requires non-banked mode even though it says banked version, not sure why yet.
Also by sending the printer to console I was able to print
a load map even though jumbled somewhat. It is demonstrated in the output below:

Credit again goes to Per Frejvall and Peter Schorn for blazing a trail.
I can make this available to those interested. I would also appreciate more info
from anyone experienced in TurboDOS.

It's great to see some interest in TurboDOS. I've got a couple working TurboDOS systems running on real hardware. Multiple processors, 8 bit z80s and 16 bit 186's running in the same chassis, hard disk and floppy disk caching, and a great command interpreter. I don't consider myself an expert, but I do enjoy tinkering with it, my next challenge is to try integrating Arcnet. I'm happy to share my experiences and help with what I can, best way to contact me is e-mail new_castle_j at yahoo.com

I found a serial program rs.com on the Walnut Creek cdrom. It turns out each module in the sys file is serialized:

0A>rs stdloadr


----------------------------------------
| RS version 1.4 |
| RESERIALIZER |
| USE THIS PROGRAM RESPONSIBLY |
| (c) infrigement is YOUR responsibility |
----------------------------------------


Enter new value for ?ORIG? in DECIMAL : 12
Enter new value for ?UNIT? in DECIMAL : 3456
Matching files: 1


Now processing STDLOADR.REL, size 4380H bytes.

OSLOAD reserialized.
LDRMSG reserialized.
OSNTRY reserialized.
FILMGR reserialized.
FILSUP reserialized.
FILCOM reserialized.
BUFMGR reserialized.
DSKMGR reserialized.
DSKTBL reserialized.
NONFIL reserialized.
CONMGR reserialized.
CONTBL reserialized.
DSPSGL reserialized.
COMSUB reserialized.

end of file
STDLOADR.REL written back, all modules serialized 12/3456


*** all done ***

Hi everyone!

I am so pleased to see this being alive and well. Unfortunately I have little time right now but I may be able to chime in every now and then.

Getting TurboDOS to work in a multi-processor system should be pretty easy. The implementor's guide contains all the information needed to create a driver that uses anything from smoke signaling to 10 gigabit ethernet :)

So many fond memories from the 80's!

Work is progressing getting TurboDOS V1.43 (and some 8-bit of 1.43+) running on the zemu emulator.
Wiley now has a functioning real-time clock and date, banked mode with interrupts. There is a program on the Walnut Creek CD timecl.mac that prints the time with the prompt. Also on the CD is systat.mac that shows system stats. I put in some y2k patches for the year in dir and date (renamed tdate).
