FLEX hints and kinks - nealcrook/multicomp6809 GitHub Wiki
After boot:
- the backspace key doesn't work properly
- the +++ prompt is inset by 4 characters
Both of these can be fixed by changing the FLEX terminal setup, like so:
+++ TTYSET,NL=0,BE=8
You can put this in a startup file so that it is performed automatically at boot.
Better, Ian May suggested that you can edit FLEX.SYS to change the defaults. The NL count is at $CC05, the BE code is at $CC07. Use FIX to edit FLEX.SYS and then LINK the revised version:
+++FIX FLEX.SYS <return>
M: CC05 00 <return>
M: CC07 08 <return>
E <return>
+++LINK FLEX.SYS <return>
- You need to type both digits of the data values (00 and 08) - if you simply type 0 and 8 the values get ignored.
- If you omit the LINK step, you will end up booting your system from the deleted sectors of the old FLEX.SYS - in case it's not obvious, that would be //bad// (and I mean bad in a //bad// way!)
Make the terminal output pause at the end of each screens-worth
