Microsoft Chart 2.02
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
NOTE: The Microsoft Chart 2.02 disk below is *not* an original distribution disk.
|
|
|
|
The disk image contains "SPERRY Personal Computer MS-DOS 2.11 version 1.11 Copyright 1981,82,83 Microsoft Corp."
|
|
with a COMMAND.COM dated "3-16-87". It boots but then crashes when COMMAND.COM attempts to display the current date.
|
|
|
|
COMMAND.COM appears to be loaded too high in conventional memory, because it builds the current date string above
|
|
segment 0xA000, so when it attempts to print that string, DOS finds only garbage (0xFF bytes, and no terminating $).
|
|
This suggests that either there is a mismatch between the IBMBIO.COM, IBMDOS.COM and COMMAND.COM files on this disk,
|
|
or that there is something special about the BIOS found on a SPERRY computer that is critical to booting these files.
|
|
|
|
I'm sure with further debugging we could find out one way or the other, but let's leave that for another day. It's not
|
|
clear it's really worth the effort. To start, the IBMBIO.COM, IBMDOS.COM and COMMAND.COM files should be placed onto
|
|
their own MS-DOS disk image and archived appropriately. A search for the rest of the SPERRY OEM distribution files
|
|
should also be conducted.
