Reset
CooCoo v0.1 provides a number of reset options.
• system-wide reset will reset the Coco itself and all other components of the emulation,
including external peripherals such as the MPI.
• platform reset will reset the Coco itself (only).
• CPU reset will reset the 6809 core only. It is primarily used during development where an
external 6809 is connected.
Note that, like a real Coco, some programs 'take over' the Coco and will resume execution upon a
reset. As on a real Coco, in these cases the target hardware must be power-cycled in order to wipe
system memory and restore control to the BASIC ROM.
DriveWire?
CooCoo v0.1 does not currently support DriveWire.
The stock DriveWire routines require a cycle-accurate CPU core due to the tightly-coded bit-bang
routines used for high-speed serial communcations with the PC.
The current CPU core (Jonh Kent's 6809) is not cycle-accurate and DriveWire running on CooCoo
v0.1 is not able to successfully communicate with the PC DriveWire server.
During development, CooCoo was running with an external (actual) 6809 CPU, and
HDBDOSDW3 was running successfully on this hardware.
There are plans to develop a solution that supports DriveWire.
Floppy Drives?
CooCoo v0.1 does not current support floppy drives, beyond those emulated via HDBDOS.
There are plans to develop a solution that supports floppy drives.
