Note that the standard main menu will freeze solid, if you scroll off the start or end (this is a bug carried over from MAME). The command line or a front end is ok.

 

System Driver Changes:

----------------------

-pmd85: added support for loading .ptp cassette images. [sandro Ronco]

-apple2: Apple II slots rewrite [R. Belmont]

All Apple IIs that had slots now have them in MESS except the IIgs.

Slot 0 has one available card: the language card (which it defaults to)

Slots 1-7 can have any of the Mockingboard, CFFA2000, and Disk II cards.

By default a Mockingboard is in Slot 4 and the Disk II is in 6. Due to current limitations only one Disk II controller per machine will work, but multiple CFFAs and Mockingboards should work great. The plain 6502 firmware version of the CFFA2000 is now supported so you can use CHDs with the emulated II Plus and unenhanced IIe as well. 5.25" disks are broken on the IIgs at the moment; I'm looking into it.

-iskr1030: Year/manufacturer fixes. [AntoPISA]

- Apple II: Fixed C800 banking with INTCXROM and implemented RamFactor card ROM banking. RamFactor diagnostic (g Cn0a in the Monitor) now works.
