JiffyDOS Question

[David Nelson]

Does the C-128DCR (metal case) require different JiffyDOS chips than a flat 128? Or is it a simple matter of putting in a C128 and 1571 JiffyDOS chip?
I have a set of binaries, and I see a C128 binary and a 1571D binary. I do not see a C128D binary or a regular 1571 binary. So I'm trying to figure out what I'm looking at. How many different sets of JiffyDOS chips are there?

C128, C128D, 1571, 1571D, and 1581?
(I know 1541/1541-II but I don't use those with my 128 so I'm skipping them for now).

Thanks.

Yes, the internal drive of the C128D takes a different Jiffy ROM than a normal 1571 and I believe the 128 portion of the board uses a different ROM as well.

Ah, crap. So I'm still missing the C128D binary and the regular 1571 binary. Thank you for the info, and now I know pretty much just what I need. Shame ol' Maurice went downhill on these things.

Thanks,
David

Hi David,

The plastic case C128D requires the same JiffyDOS chips as the C128 and stand alone 1571.
The metal case C128DCR requires a different 1571D JiffyDOS chip, and also has the C64 and C128 kernals combined in one chip.

Yep, that's what I thought. Thanks for the definitive answer!

anyone know where you can get JiffyDos for the 128 that only works in 64 mode
:/

never mind! thanks esalpion;)
