======
The remaining TODOs (perhaps not in this order):

Get the N8-2312 SD and floppy problems worked out

Write a loader that will boot CP/M from media with the C-BIOS

  • The thought here is to switch the system to an all ram memory config and load CP/M with a small footprint cbios with stub calls to the MSX bios for console and disk io.
  • This would not be a fork of ROMWBW or UNA (nowhere nearly as comprehensive and in no way designed to be the canonical version of CP/M for the N8), but something much smaller and more MSXish. This would be more like the CP/M version that was available on the commodore 64 or 128 (40 col console IO, etc)

Work on the ROM basic to allow mass storage saves and loads of programs, add graphics and sound commands, and PERHAPS add floating point (may be a total re-write or replace)

Add support for IDE Hard Drives

Create Comprehensive system documentation

  • The N8 MSX implementation is getting more and more complex. It would be a good idea to document the differences from the MSX standard, the memory configuration, and a how-to on patching MSX roms that do not work first time.

Create a list and an archive of working MSX roms
