AspeQt handshake issue on Linux * Solved *

von a8w » Do 17. Mär 2016, 11:21

As of late, i noticed that AspeQt (v1.01 and all other earlier versions) had a speed adjustment issue on Linux (Ubuntu) when hardware handshaking is used. There were a lot of hesitation and stutters at almost all SIO speeds. This issue is now largely resolved, not quite 100%, but it is now a lot better. I will post v1.02 (Linux only) shortly on my website. Please let me know if you find any problems with the new release. Thanks.

Thanks for your efforts. Unfortunately I use a long term version with QT 5.2.1, which I do not want to screw up as I am not an expert, just a user. Therefore cannot tell, if it helps.

Ok, try this, i re-compiled with Qt 5.2.1 and this should work with your setup.
Cheers.

On Linux Mint Cinnamon 17-2 64-bit on my desktop RespeQt 3 is working fine. On my laptop I use the 32-bit version and couldn't manage to get AspeQt running. It simply does not react when started. Do not know what I might have done wrong.

You may need to copy libSdfs.so.1 to /usr/lib if you haven't already done so.

Code: Alles auswählen: sudo cp -libSdfs.so.1 /usr/lib

Here's aninstallation guidefor Ubuntu

I did without any outcome. Shouldn't it also run on a 64-bit installation? Then I could test it on my desktop. The laptop is pretty old (2009) and sometimes issues strange hickups under Linux whereas under Win 7 32bit runs fine.

No, it won't run on 64 bit, but i will compile a 64bit version for you.
On your laptop you can do a:

Code: Alles auswählen: ldd aspeqt

from the terminal to list library dependencies of the executable, and see if you're missing any Qt libraries.

That would be great. Yesterday I upgraded the the laptop to Linux Mint 17-3 in hope of a solution. But it didn't do.

Here's a link to 64bit binary . Compiled with Qt5.2. Also, when copying the libSdfs.so.1 the correct code is:

Code: Alles auswählen: sudo cp libSdfs.so.1 /usr/lib

there is no '-' before the library name, and no spaces before '/'

Here we go ...

Copied the lib-file via filemanager from the desktop as I am a GUI-user, no terminal typist.
Ctrl&Alt&BkSp didn't do and I had to reboot the pc.
AspeQt 1.02 runs fine on the desktop and I'll need some time to read and look.
Thanks for your efforts.

Edit: It seems to run much more smooth than earlier versions.

On SDX 4.48 using only SIO drives with AspeQt I tried to squeeze out everything possible using SDX:

ARC AH C:>TESTARC A:>HELP*>*.* >>PRN:

It calls the packer ARC which packs the 115 files in the subdir HELP* into the archive file TESTARC while redirecting the screen output to the screen output in AspeQt. A proper load for testing the stress capability.

Result: TESTARC ARC 315178 2-04-16 21:22:12

As I use a FIFO in my XL it runs perfect at SIO speed 125,000 bps. Without FIFO it should run at PD 3 or 4. SDX test platform is the new SDX Supercart.

You're welcome and I am glad it did work fine. It runs much better compared to earlier versions when I tested with my Netbook too.

I am currently working on fully MyDos compatible folder images. It will emulate a 16MB hard drive with read/write/format/boot capabilities.

How far did you get with it?

In AspeQt 1.02 Linux QT 5.2 it seems to have been started. But when I choose the MyDOS-Folder option it is not accessible thereafter whereas the option DOS 2.5 works fine.

After Update to the renewed Linux Mint 18.2 it is no longer possible to wright to ATR images in other speed than 19,200 bd. Booting e.g. SpartaDSO 3 under Pokeydivisor $00 works still perfect. Up to LM 18.1 it worked like a charm. Any ideas?
