Installing the Spectranet firmware
|
|
==================================
|
|
|
|
Installing the Spectranet firmware on Fuse is slightly more complicated
|
|
than on a real machine, mostly because Fuse's emulation doesn't support
|
|
DHCP. These instructions are correct as of 2012-01-26 - if you're using
|
|
a later firmware than this, things may have changed slightly.
|
|
|
|
The first thing you will need to do is to obtain a copy of the
|
|
Spectranet installer as a .tap file (or similar). You can find installers
|
|
at http://spectrum.alioth.net/doc/index.php in the Downloads section, or
|
|
you can see below for instructions for building the installer from
|
|
source. A number of Spectranet-enabled folks hang out in the #zx channel
|
|
on the Coldfront IRC network (irc.coldfront.net) - try asking in there.
|
|
|
|
Once you have a copy of the installer, start Fuse and tick the
|
|
"Spectranet" and "Spectranet disable" options from the Options /
|
|
Peripherals / General... dialog box. Once that's done, open the
|
|
installer file (use the Media / Tape / Open... command rather than File
|
|
/ Open... to prevent autoloading) and enter the following commands from
|
|
BASIC:
|
|
|
|
CLEAR 26999
|
|
LOAD ""CODE
|
|
RANDOMIZE USR 27000
|
|
|
|
The screen should turn blue and you'll see around 20 lines of message
|
|
appearing as the firmware is installed, starting with "Erasing sector 0"
|
|
and finishing with "Restoring page B", and you'll get the familiar
|
|
0 OK, 0: 1 at the bottom of the screen.
|
|
|
|
Now untick the "Spectranet disable" option in the Options / Peripherals
|
|
/ General... dialog box and reset the Spectrum. You should see a very
|
|
brief blue status screen, before the regular copyright screen appears
|
|
with some Spectranet information at the top - there should be four
|
|
status lines, starting with "Alioth Spectranet" and ending with the
|
|
Spectranet's IP address (which will be 255.255.255.255 at this stage).
|
|
|
|
If you see all that, trigger an NMI (the Machine / NMI menu option) and
|
|
you should get a white on blue Spectranet NMI menu with five options.
|
|
|
|
Select [A] Configure network settings - this should lead you to another
|
|
menu, which will scroll of the top of the screen; don't worry about this
|
|
for now.
|
|
|
|
You'll now need to set various options:
|
|
|
|
[A] Enable/disable DHCP - select N
|
|
[B] Change IP address - enter the IP address of the machine you are
|
|
running Fuse on.
|
|
[C] Change netmask - enter the appropriate netmask for the IP address
|
|
you selected above. If that doesn't mean anything to you, try
|
|
255.255.255.0
|
|
[D] Change default gateway - enter the appropriate gateway address. If
|
|
you don't know any better, enter the IP address of your router.
|
|
[E] Change primary DNS - enter the address of your DNS server. If you
|
|
don't know any better, use Google's public DNS server, 8.8.8.8.
|
|
|
|
There is no need to change options [F] or [G], but do select:
|
|
|
|
[H] Change hostname - enter a hostname for the Spectranet-enabled
|
|
machine. It doesn't really matter what you enter here - it's mostly
|
|
useful just to replace the junk default name so you can see what
|
|
you've entered for the other settings.
|
|
|
|
Your screen should now look something like this:
|
|
|
|
Current configuration
|
|
=====================
|
|
Use DHCP : No
|
|
IP address : 192.168.000.002
|
|
Netmask : 255.255.255.000
|
|
Default gateway : 192.168.000.001
|
|
Primary DNS : 192.168.000.001
|
|
Secondary DNS : 255.255.255.255
|
|
Hardware address : FF:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF
|
|
Hostname : fuse
|
|
|
|
<menu options>
|
|
|
|
If every looks correct, select [I] Save changes and exit (you'll see a
|
|
brief "Saving configuration..." message) followed by [E] Exit, at which
|
|
point you'll be returned to BASIC. Reset the Spectrum again and you'll
|
|
see the same four line status display, but this time with your IP
|
|
address on the last line.
|
|
|
|
Congratulations! You have now installed the Spectranet firmware. To save
|
|
having to go through all that every time you start Fuse, save a .szx
|
|
snapshot at this point, and load that in every time you want to use the
|
|
Spectranet.
|
|
|
|
Compiling your own Spectranet installer
|
|
=======================================
|
|
|
|
If you really need to compile your own copy of the Spectranet installer,
|
|
here's a brief guide. It's very Debian-specific, but should be easily
|
|
adaptable to other Linux (or maybe even Unix/BSD-like) distributions.
|
|
|
|
First, install a few tools:
|
|
|
|
$ apt-get install subversion make binutils-z80
|
|
|
|
Get the latest Spectranet code:
|
|
|
|
$ svn co http://svn.alioth.net/svn/spectranet/trunk spectranet
|
|
|
|
Build the installer
|
|
|
|
$ cd spectranet
|
|
$ make
|
|
|
|
Lots of output should now appear, after which your installer should be
|
|
created as installer/installer.tap.
