Err. Ram strings? As big as you want them, I guess. Actually, the size is two bytes, IIRC, so probably only 2^16 in length, but I'm not sure.
Also, ninja'd. (Hey look, no edit)

Seems like a fine asm question to me.
Apps are stored in Flash, and execute from Flash, just like the OS. Flash is divided into 16384-byte "pages"; any page can be mapped to the Z80 address space starting at 4000h, simply by writing the page number to port 6. So basically, all the OS needs to do to run an app is to write the appropriate value to port 6, and jump to the start of the app's code. The app is never copied into RAM - there's no free RAM you could use for that purpose.
In order for this to work, the app needs to be stored at the start of a page, which is why every app effectively takes up a multiple of 16k bytes. Being stored in Flash also means the app can't modify itself (well, that and the fact that they need to be digitally signed.)
Wait, are they checked every time they are run for digital signatures?

The former.
Okay. I see then. That's fine, I just figured it would be better if they didn't pay and couldn't hold that aspect over your head. Also, 4 more posts til I'm lucky!

My parents offered to pay for every cent of community college. I can't refuse.
I see. Can't refuse as in "too good to be true" or can't refuse as in "I can't refuse. They won't let me."

* King Graphmastur puts this topic back on topic once again.
People, stop arguing! Make another topic if you want to argue about your ideas and such, just not in Sir's thread like this.
sorry  the idea bugs me.
Sir, i haven't exactly been reading along (just saw matthias' psychology thing and became engrossed), but i saw your first post. i'm very sorry, though it looks like you're managing to get some progress done on most projects
Bugs me too, really. If you make a topic about it, we all might participate in it. ;-) @SirCmpwn: Will you get scholarships to go to college, will you pay, or will your parents pay? It would be best if your parents paid nothing, IMHO.

I just gave my old laptop that had XP (I call it the Craptop) to my friend, but I'm sure he'll let me test stuff on it, as long as it isn't to broken by that time.
Does this mean you gave up the computer that had xp? As in the computer you used to test Oasis stuff?

Mac os x 10.5.8 and windows xp.
We need a windows 7 tester and mac snow leopard tester, too.

woah. I knew I was somewhat smart(i skipped a grade), but I didn't expect this: a 183!
no, the ! is not a factorial. Else i would be ludicrously smart.
Very nice. You already are ludicrously smart.

I've updated mine! Also, we are working on this, we really are. I do hope that it is well used. I wonder if there is a poll around here for what OS you use...

I wish I had the kernel... But, without oasis, I can't compile it.

I have an 84+se, and can help. The os has to be signed to send, though.

* King Graphmastur puts this topic back on topic since SirCmpwn isn't here to do it.
Yes. I have an idea... Maybe SirCmpwn can get very good grades?
I believe that SirCmpwn gets good grades.
