At this point we only get 1 byte of data into the read buffer, though. (not sure if this is due to simh, the kernel or some other issue). to work around the asembler divide issue I had to sed the source during build time. These hacks are all incorporated into the tools/assemv7 script. it might be fun to try to use Warren's mkfs.c program to preload the root disk and boot warm with it. > James Markevitch Tim Newsham http://www.thenewsh.com/~newsham/
