Describe the bug
A full format of a D81 disk image using the FORMAT command with an ID stalls.
A full format of an internal floppy disk makes OK sounds and ends after an appropriate duration, but a DIR on the result stalls.
To Reproduce
Freezer, drive 0, create a new disk image. Resume.
DIR to confirm disk image is working.
FORMAT "NEWNAME",IXX
Expected: should finish within a minute.
Actual: Stalls in CBDOS code.
Insert an expendable 3-1/2" DD floppy disk in the internal drive.
MOUNT
FORMAT "NEWNAME",IXX
Format finishes.
DIR
Expected: displays directory of new empty disk.
Actual: Stalls.
Additional context
I have confirmed that I'm using v0.96 core and ROM. I need help confirming whether this is true of all R6 machines running v0.96 stable, and whether it also applies to R3. I was inspired to test because someone else also reported a stall in full formatting.
Quick formatting (without the I parameter) is working.
The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:
Board: R3, ARTIX version: B8756F4A according to HELP key in FREEZER (btw, I need a reset, since busy bit being stuck made not even freezer could load/come up)
ROM v920410 according to matrix monitor execution is somewhere around 97A1,97A3,979E and such values in general, if it helps. It's often at a place "BIT $D082" which is the FDC status register IIRC, so probably it waits for the operation to finish? Again, according to matrix monitor I/O reg D082 (FFD3082) has the value $A1 at that point, so bit 7 is set, indicating busy.
EDIT This is with D81. With the real drive, I don't encounter stalling, formatting is OK, also DIR after then is OK as well. My assumption: mega65-core (at least the version I have) does not cope too well with format FDC "command" when it's not a real drive but a D81 file, and it just keeping the buys bit "on" while ROM waits it to be ready. For sure, in case of a mounted D81, there is not even a low-level format unlike with real drive.
Test Environment (required)
You can use MEGA65INFO to retrieve this.
