This is a revised ROM for the 1983 Kaypro 4. I believe it should also function on the 1983 version Kaypro II, but this has not been checked. Features: 1. Improved Screen Handling. (additions to original) a. Lines no longer wrap at column 80 when no further characters are written. b. Cursor user modifiable with C (for flashing) or D (not flashing), followed by cursor character desired. DEL, ^-, and _ are the most useful. c. Moving the cursor on and off a position holding the cursor character no longer deletes the character d ( sets the FLASH attribute. Characters sent until an ) sequence will flash. e. ^_ allows entry of control characters as displayable, for access to the Greek etc. char. set. Only the immediately following character is displayed. This replaces the original G and A sequences. f. Screen scrolling maintains the original column. Up and down scrolling is symmetrical. g. Video output calls return the current cursor position in hl suitable for repositioning (with =hl). h. e and r insert/remove characters at cursor. 2. Time delays adapt to CPU clock speed. Should now be independant of any speed-up kits. 3. Correct list status is returned for the parallel port. 4. The disk system can now be properly reset via the CPM diskreset call. Previously could not change single to/from double sided formats without a ^C at the CPM prompt. This prevented programs that allowed disk changes functioning correctly. 5. The cause and location of any disk errors is reported at the lower right of the screen. 6. Disk error retries are now shorter (by default). This can be reconfigured with the auxiliary SYSCNTRL program, which will also report a soft-error (i.e. recovered) summary since reset. 7. The read after write feature can now be disabled (with SYSCNTRL). This can increase the writing speed by a factor of 2 or more. Soft-error reports (above) can show whether your system needs this feature for reliability. To install, extract the NEWROM.BIN module, and program it into a 2732A Rom chip, using positive address and data conventions (the usual). Replace the current ROM with this, and try it out. Make sure your board (if a Kaypro II) is configured for the 2732, not the 2716 ROM. (The rom is mounted just to the left of the Z80 chip). A 2732 (non A) version will work on 2.5Mhz systems, but may not be fast enought at 5Mhz. June 1985 C.B. Falconer (203) 281-1438
