[comp.sys.nsc.32k] setjmp/longjmp, 6250 and UNIX

garyj@neptun.pcs.com (Gary Jennejohn) (10/16/90)

Thanks to Bruce for providing me with his setjmp/longjmp code. I'd already
figured out what was wrong, I was using the wrong offset onto the stack to
get the pc. That's what I get for using genix code.

Yes, Bruce, I am working with Jordan Hubbard. He's the one who got me
interested in the pc532.

As to whether I have UNIX running on the pc532, the answer is no, not yet.
I'm planning to port 4.3 to it Real Soon Now. This is a major undertaking,
but I've done enough UNIX ports so that I'm sure I can do it. But it won't
happen overnight. Jordan also provided the inspiration for this, or,
more accurately, he whined so much about my plan to port V.? that I
acquiesced to his desire for 4.3 :-)

I now have the memory test code working standalone and am incorporating it into
the monitor. This will be done shortly. I just hope that it doesn't add so
much to the monitor that it won't fit in the EPROM anymore.

BTW, Bruce, I hacked around in the monitor enough so that it runs standalone,
but exceptions aren't handled right. It seems to go off into the wild-blue.
I suspect that this has to do with the way that run works, but haven't spent
enough time looking at the code yet to be sure. Maybe you can confirm my
suspicions for me.

The 6250 driver won't be done for a while. No promises as to when.
