I've been working on a nice little LZW compressor/decompressor that would be interesting to try out on your image. It's never going to get as good as ZIP (because I don't want to invest the time), but it also works much faster too. (I'm going to use it mostly for text compression. It's basically eq...

As for "optimal way", that's called "optimal parsing", which is a way to guarantee the most efficient matches (offset+length) of the source material, at the cost of speed. Storer and Szymanski described it in their 1984 paper that described LZSS, if you want to look it up out of...

In the beginning of BASIC cartridge I think they have both names - BASIC and BASICA, but anyway - it's not working with JR-IDE and DOS 3.20 - BASIC immediately exited back to DOS and BASICA simply hung (with BASIC cartridge inserted) Actually it is not a big problem for me because now I have TurboC ...

ok, understood

Does JR-IDE BIOS do something with sound? Gamecartridge became silent with JR-IDE installed

Also BASICs stopped working completely - any of them - cassete one (it's simply unreachable), cartridge one and disk one (from DOS 3.20 - both BASIC and BASICA)...

I bought dual adapter for about $3 - waiting

Good job Shaos! I just ordered an IDE cable and IDE CF reader to see if I can get them to work together. These threads inspire me to do more than I ever nought I could. I think cable is not needed in case of CF, because you can get CF-to-IDE adapters for $2 from Ebay (Shenzhen) and it works :) http...

Boot takes 72 seconds from Power-Off and 48 seconds by Alt-Ctrl-Del



P.S. Disk D was created by JRCONFIG.SYS /V32 /L /R

Getting the BIOS fixed so that two devices work would be great. DOM as master and CF slave for file transfers and backing up the DOM. I use my Parallel port CF now, but it is slow and the driver software is rather large. Two drives on the jrIDE works just fine. I did this not too long ago: http://w...
