Re: MLDL2000: Basic functions work! Message #9 Posted by Meindert Kuipers on 14 Jan 2004, 2:44 a.m., in response to message #8 by Donald1800
Let me explain how the MLDL2000 works in this respect:
63 ROM images can be loaded in FLASH and 16 images in SRAM. in both types of memory there are 4 tables (the Settings Registers, 8 of these in total) that determine which image is plugged in which port (and in which bank as well), and also indicate if the image in in SRAM or FLASH and if it is writeable MLDL/RAM memory.
The tables in SRAM are easily modified of course. These Settings Registers are the only way to move modules around.
The mechanical switches (there will be 3 or 4) determine which of the tables is active and allow you to switch between different 'machines'. One setting could be for math calculations, with the Advantage ROM, CCD and such, another for Mcode development with CCD, HEPAX, DAVID Assembler etc. (Note that HEPAX is not supported yet).
MBA types could have their favorite set with financial modules. Retro geeks with PPC ROM, MATH-1A, STAT, etc ....
