Known bugs and restrictions of Emu48 V1.57
------------------------------------------
- the following I/O bits aren't emulated (incomplete)
DTEST (0x102) [VDIG LID TRIM]
DSPCTL (0x103) [LRT LRTD LRTC BIN]
LPD (0x108) [LB2 LB1]
LPE (0x109) [GRST RST]
CMODE (0x10A) Mode register
IOC (0x110) [ERBZ]
RCS (0x111) [RX RER RBZ]
SRQ1 (0x118) [ISQR]
SRQ2 (0x119) [LSRQ]
IRC (0x11A) [IRI EIRU EIRI IRE]
LCR (0x11C) [LBZ LBF]
- the baudrates 1920, 3840, 7680 and 15360 aren't emulated on most
operating systems
Windows 95a 1920, 3840, 7680 work, 15360 fail
Windows 98, NT4.0, 2000, XP all baudrates fail
- problems when receiving a break signal on the serial port
Windows 98, NT4.0 SP4 no retrigger on port open
Windows 98 timing problems setting the RER bit
Windows 2000 SP2 no known problems
- System-RPL commands VERYVERYSLOW, VERYSLOW and SLOW depends on PC
speed (are realized as simple down counter in ROM)
- display updating differs from the real machine
- screen VBL counter values may skip after large display operations
like turning on or updating the whole display
- read on an unconfigured address (open data bus) will not show the
same value like a real calculator
- the Yorke hardware signals BEN and DA19 aren't fully supported,
because the emulator don't use a multiplexed AR18 / NCE3 data line
-> all programs that run on a real calculator will run as well,
programs with incorrect DA19 / BEN handling may run on the
emulator but will crash on a real calculator
- incomplete reset logic of the bank switcher FF, on real
calculators a reset happen after about 4s in deep sleep, in the
emulator this happens immediately
- no MP interrupt on card control circuit or timer restart
- Shell OS: clock isn't synchronized with real time
- HP49G: the flash memory is emulated now with some restrictions
- no flash programming times, the flash state machine returns
immediately the ready signal
- only one write buffer, second not needed because of prior reason
- not fully tested, especially the status byte may return
incorrect values (error bits)
- quitting the emulator while programming the flash isn't allowed,
because the content of flash state machine isn't saved so far
