This sounds like the best idea. Does that mean the installer for ResiDOS needs to be reprogrammed?
Yes. Modification is not so hard. Actually I have RESIDOS installation TAP file with my modification (add some POKE in basic) for set number of free memory for RESIDOS. Original version of RESIDOS not use limit and all 512kB memory can be rewrited by packages/roms. I need know how much ram need RESIDOS in full configuration...
On the original DivIDE+, you have to flash ResiDOS from FATWare first using the TAP file from the ResiDOS website. After that you can select ResiDOS from the original menu (by pressing 1) and it starts automatically.
I will use different way:
- residos can be install from TAP file (in FATWARE) too. Same as with orig. DIVIDE+ with firm.selector.
- my new SELECTOR support also install RESIDOS from rom (don't need load installation TAP file)
- new SELECTOR can also only switch to RESIDOS as original firm.selector.
- all other DIVIDE systems will in rom and can be in SELECTOR menu reinstall (erase DIVIDE ram and active reset to this system) or switch only.
My SELECTOR can be active after reset+press key or after power-on+press key or after OUT 23,128
