To further explain how the 'slots' work and how they relates to the sectors/banks on the flasher tool it is important to understand how the DivIDE Plus maps it 512k ROM/RAM In standard mode the 512k is broken up into 16 x 32k blocks. It is however the last 8k within each 32k block that is actually m...

All I've updated the Firmware Selector to V2.0. Changes More flexible menu system, allowing people to easily compile custom menus Separate menu pages for Standard DivIDE mode, MAPROM mode and MAPRAM mode Menus will scroll if more than 7 items in a menu Warm boot uses XOR checksum for better integrit...

Is that a standard DivIDE rather than a DivIDE Plus? I ask because on the DivIDE Plus I'm pretty sure the write signal to the EEPROM is controlled from the Z80 WR signal and certain address lines (A13 to A15 I think). To erase/program it you need to send a set of commands using the z80 addr bus, dat...

The files are just 8k binary images. There are some standard ones such as esxdos you can find here https://esxdos.org/index.html (use the esxide.bin file). Otherwise any 8k rom should work in standard DivIDE mode. This is where you select the rom/firmware to run using out 23,x and the print usr 0. T...

I meant to also say that I think that the Firmware Selector causes some of the issues with compatibility beyond what I've maybe fixed. One of the reasons I gave up on my DivIDE Plus is that it seemed so much less reliable than the 2k14 version. I would crash for no reason and always whenever I plug ...

All I've update the firmware selector from 1.3a to 1.4a. For now it is just a 'potential' bugfix release as I spotted an issue that I think may cause issues on 128k machines (mine is 48k so haven't tested). I plan to make it more customisable so you can choose anything flashed to the ROM but that is...

I've put together some installers that allows Residos to be installed from a Firmware located at either Slot 28 (FATWare location if Firmware Selector is installed) or Slot 30 (ESXDOS). The original installer crashed for me as it tried to revert back to slot 0 during install. I don't know how nicely...

A quick utility to allow you to Save, Restore, Wipe or Test the 512k RAM on the DivIDE Plus

Enjoy

I should say that it incorporates code I've studied from other sources such as the Firmware Selector flasher and the original DivIDE flasher so I hope that's ok. I will upload my sources to GitHub soon.

Hi I've dug out my DivIDE Plus and have been playing around with it for a bit, trying to see if I could make better use of the 512k ROM. Anyway, one thing led to another and I ended up writing some software to let you flash any of the banks. Usual disclaimer, use at your own risk, but it seems prett...
