Driver:MIPS

MIPS

This article and the corresponding MAME driver focus on computers sold by MIPS Computer Systems which use MIPS R2000/R3000 processors and run RISC/os (also known as UMIPS), a port of UNIX System V release 3 with BSD extensions.

Preparation

Prerequisites

TODO: mame version, riscos files, tap adapter

Network

TODO: set up the bfs and rsh networking tools and environment.

Storage

Use chdman createhd to prepare a new CHD for the operating system installation, and then chdman addmeta to apply a manufacturer string used to identify the drive make/model information that will be returned by the SCSI INQUIRY command.

chdman createhd -o rs2030.chd -chs 1872,15,74
chdman addmeta -i rs2030.chd -t IDNT -vt "SEAGATE ST11200N        1.00"

The SCSI INQUIRY response data (defined by the IDNT meta-data tag in the CHD) should consist of an 8 character manufacturer name, 16 character model number, and 4 character version number, all left justified and padded with spaces.

Configuration

TODO: mame configuration
