New and Improved! PROBE now shows the CP/M serial number too! Big deal. . .
Got a bug report. To wit:
Bugs in PROBE:
1. PROBE will not detect media changes. Changing from SSDD to DSDD will
still bring SSDD data on the screen. Might have to explicitly reset
the disk system before logging a previously logged drive.
2. On very large disks, PROBE goes into a loop, displaying the ALV data
over and over again, until aborted by a ^C. This was noticed on an 8MB
drive with 2048 4k groups.
Bug fixes.
1. This was an artifact from the way I had written PROBE earlier, when it
simply cycled through all the drives on-line one after the other. It
now does a reset disk system and should be able to recognize media
changes (if your bios does).
2. Unable to verify this. However, I did have a few variables declared
int (range +/- 32,768) that I have now changed to unsigned (range
0-65,536). Hopefully that will take care of it.
Have verified correct performance of PROBE on following machines with
hard disks:
Kaypro 10, two 5 meg partitions, CP/M 2.2 bios versions E, F, G.
Zenith Z-100, 27 megabyte hard disk, 6 meg partition, CP/M-85, 1436
4k blocks.
Balcones BNV-205 w/20 meg hard disk, one 4 meg, two 8 meg partitions
with 1028 4k blocks and 2016 4k blocks respectively.
I really appreciate the bug report.
Would like suggestions on a non-bios specific way of checking the
skewing of the disks.
