IMI stuff

(1 / 2)


I think I finally got all the bugs out of the IMI program. It appears to
correctly handle 65kb Eproms with any word size. I'm sure I don't have
to tell you to report failures to this address.

More IMI stuff

(2 / 2)


I forgot to mention the problems with UPLOADs. If you try to upload data when
KIM is real busy (like anytime during the day), you MAY get "data overrun"
errors. Sorry, but there appears to be nothing I can do about that at the
moment. Second, the IMI has a bug in it where it forgets to stop transmitting
upload data after it overflows any 65k boundary and there is no way that the VAX
can stop it. The VAX will, however, write the uploaded data to your file (if it
didn't get data overruns) even if the IMI doesn't stop when it's supposed to.
You will have to press the "exit" button on the IMI programmer to get it to stop
sending.
