[FR] Parallel cable support for SpeedDOS & DolphinDOS #59

Closed Jumpman64 closed 4 years ago

Jumpman64 commented 5 years ago

For people who don't own JiffyDOS the parallel cable suppport (available in VICE) would be nice to have, so you can use SpeedDOS or other ROM files. For DolphinDOS the Drive RAM Expansion would be needed as well.

As randyrossi said adding parameters to the vice.ini should work. I added this line to the vice.ini on the SD card to activate the parallel cable for device 8: Drive8ParallelCable=1

vice.ini options are:

Drive8ParallelCable=1 'Standard Drive8ParallelCable=2 'Dolphin DOS 3 Drive8ParallelCable=3 'Formel 64

putting the SpeedDOS ROMs (named "KERNAL" and "d1541II") into the "C64" folder as usual. Tested with BMC64 1.9

For DolphinDOS3 these lines should work: Drive8RAM6000=1 Drive8ParallelCable=2 (not tested)

@randyrossi If you are not planning to add menu entries for that you can close this [FR]. Thanks a lot for the hint and help!

edit: of course the entry get lost if you save the config g so i'm happy if you please add this feature in the future.

Menu options were added in 3.1 so this can be done entirely from the menu now.
