Cool.
Is there a way to access C64 BBSes that run on IP addresses nowadays, using either of these? |

I was reading up on that WiFi modem too, I want one! In the meantime, your link helps a lot, thanks!

@jdryyz
If you are running something higher than 1.3, you have to load 64Door off the floppy. It has some sort of magic that loads 1.3 libs or something. You can run it off an A1200 on 3.1, but only off the floppy drive on boot. What's cool about it - if you run 1.3 - is you can even install it to the HDD. As such, I wound up creating a custom tool icon for it, so I don't have to look at the wrench. Good times. 64Door is awesome. And if you're hitting BBSes that are hosted on C64s - essential IMO. It looks great in 80 col mode, too, if that BBS supports it (like off a 128). |

would love to use 64Door, but...
Anyone know how 64Door works internally? I just returned to the Amiga after a couple decades (found a dead A2000 in the classifieds and resurrected it) and 64Door is one term I can't get to work. It seems to start OK but if I hit any key, it sends that single char 14 times at 2400 baud then seems to hang. It also leaves the DF1: LED for some reason after loading from it. It doesn't actually hang because it can still receive chars from the remote system and displays them on the screen. If it hit HELP first instead of a random key it goes to the config menu and hangs there. I suspected an even-CIA problem but both CIAs seem fine and A-Talk, Color Term, JR Comm all work. Tried PAL, NTSC, 3 different kickstarts. I'd like to look at the source code if it exists to try to determine if this is a hardware problem (e.g. timers, interrupts)...too many other retro project right now to reverse engineer the executable
North American A2000 rev 4.1, 8372A, 1MB chipram and nothing else |

What is the problem when using it with an OS greater than 1.3?
I’ve looked at the code and it is using the system just to allocmem/freemem and for saving the WB copperlist then it bang the HW. |

64Door problem solved (A2000 with Cherry G80 keyboard)
After almost a year I decided to look into why 64Door wouldn't run on my A2000, locking up after any keypress. I couldn't find anyone else with the same problem, but it's because I have that rarer early keyboard with the Cherry switches. 64Door doesn't really handshake with the keyboard well, it simply does this to send the pulse which acknowledges the receipt of a keypress
On a stock A2000, those 4 NOPs result in an effective wait or pulsewidth that I think was around 9us on my oscope--not enough for the early keyboard rev to recognize (the HW ref manual says > 80-something microseconds needed for compatibility with "all keyboard models" IIRC). Because the keyboard never sees an acknowledgement, the keyboard controller just loops for ever trying to resync communication by repeatedly clocking out a single bit "1" and 64 Door has no code to handle that either. The controllers in the later revs I think can see pulses down to 8us or less. Luckily the fix is simple because there is just enough space taken up by the NOPs to patch in a delay loop. I went in and edited the file on disk, replacing those 4 NOPs with a little loop of around 64*10 cycles (move.w #64, d0 / dbf d0, -2) and now it all works just fine. So if you have the same problem, maybe this fix will work for you. |
