I compiled Bochs on Linux and installed a linux
in it, but when I ping a machine on my LAN, I get
packet loss. Sometimes as much as 70% is lost.
So I read ne2k.cc, Linux 8390 driver and 8390 chip
specification. I find that 8390 command register START
bit is misused in ne2k.cc. According to the chip
specification, even if START=0, the chip does not stop
working.
Ok, This one gives a descriptin of the adapters now also. Like this:
Description
\Device\Packet_BLAH
and you would put \Device\Packet_BLAH in .bochsrc
It only works with Visual C++ in debug mode for some reason... Ill get it
figured out I guess.
It did an exception, and then the real code seemed to be commented out
with an #if 0...#endif. I put a panic there, asking people to please
report how they arrived at that condition, and enabled the #if 0 code.

for debug configuration or obj-release for release configuration.
- instead of gui,iodev,cpu,etc. having their own obj-debug directory, it
all goes into a single output directory for the whole project. I did
this when I was having trouble getting any debug information from the
static library directories to be recognized in the VC++ debugger. Maybe
it's not necessary.
- changed the compile arguments for the debug config so that debug symbols
are created. We used to have:
debug config: /G6 /MT /W4 /GX /O2
Now it says this:
debug config: /MTd /W3 /GX /Z7 /Od
I guess I haven't tested the release config yet, but the debug config is
working great now. I even have symbolic debugging of functions in the
gui/iodev/cpu libraries.
removed! I used this trick sometimes to check that a function returned
what I expected, like assert (func () == 0), but this caused the
func() to never get called. Oops.
device and disk file for a while. Even though its version of
read_toc is minimal, in fact I would say broken, it lets people use
an ISO disk file as a cdrom.
- in this revision, I wrote the "unix equivalent" of the win32 code, including
the broken version of read_toc. Now win32 and unix should act very similar
when they encounter an ISO disk image.
- one important improvement is in read_toc, I have added "*length=1" for both
win32 and unix, since otherwise the function returns random junk for the
length of the TOC. I also tried "*length=0" and that created the "lost
interrupt" behavior that psyon has been trying to get rid of...I changed it
back to *length=1 of course and left a note to him in that bug report.
