THINGS YOU MAY SEE IN 386Power+XGE Rev. 1.00 (June/July 1994) Virtual DMA Scatter/Gather support routines At last an easy way to deal with DMA under protected mode! You can ALREADY use VDS Scatter/Gather but you have to do it on you own and lock memory if you run under DPMI. In the next release i will add simple "call and forget" routines to handle DMA setup. I'm working on ways to work around the limitations of ISA bus (the 16Mbyte limit) and try to see if VDS work correctly under protected mode too (the docs are confusing about this). Skeleton code to build SOUND DRIVERS for any sound card you can get the docs. I just have the beeper to make sound (actually noise) but a friend of mine has a Gravis Ultrasound (guess what will be the only complete driver included into 386P+XGE 1.0) and since the "sound production" model is nearly the same for all the boards around, a code skeleton can be adapted to any sound card available once you have the docs. DIGITAL MIXER, mix multiple sound samples with various effects. ENVIRONMENT parser (to configure sound cards and extract system info). ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- THINGS YOU CAN BET WILL BE IN 386P+XGE 1.0 Complete Map/Tile handling routines (i already have working code, but i'm optimizing sone little things to get better execution timings under DPMI). Better sound on the PC-Speaker (the PWM thing included into rev. 0.999 has some quirks and squeaky things). Joystick support WAV support (including compressed sound data).
