SectorLISP appears to hang after "Booting from Floppy..."

[foxsouns]

does not seem to move past this point, also broken when using latest sectorlisp.bin from https://github.com/jart/sectorlisp/blob/040852302c1bd37b16bfb8f123083b80c07fd0be/bin/sectorlisp.bin

That means it's working. There is no command prompt.

(I have no idea how to lisp)

@copy It looks like you got snagged by undefined behavior D: You likely wanted something more like this:

I would recommend we upgrade to SectorLISP v2 which has a "sectorlisp-friendly.bin" disk image. https://justine.lol/sectorlisp2/ It'll be a much better friend, since it supports niceties (but non-essential features) like DEFINE, dot cons literals, function parameters defaulting to NIL, undefined variable reporting. etc.

its an x86 emulator for programs, i think. if you wanna know what it is, look at that link i posted.

Blinkenlights is a brand new debugger TUI for Linux, Mac, Windows, FreeBSD, NetBSD, and OpenBSD that does full standalone emulation of simple i8086 and x86_64-pc-linux-gnu programs.

My device went down right as you sent the link, unfortunately. How would I run Slax using libv86?
