Nextor 2.1.3 released | MSX Resource Center

It was about time for a new release of Nextor. And as it was the case the last time, this is a maintenance release that includes just a few but nice bug fixes, namely:

• Mapping a drive to sector zero of a device with the BASIC command CALL MAPDRV is now possible (the equivalent command line tool, MAPDRV.COM, didn’t have this bug).
• The _FLUSH function call with the “Invalidate” flag set will no longer trigger an autoassignment process for the drives mapped to Nextor drivers (you may have experienced this bug as “drives lose their non-default partition assignments after running Konpass”).
• And probably the most significant one: sector buffer invalidation after a disk write will no longer cause a crash (this has been reported to happen when using the Akid text editor).

That’s all what’s fixed for the Nextor kernel itself, but there’s also a small fix for NEXTOR.SYS: the _GETCLUS function call wil copy 16 bytes of data to the user buffer, as documented (it was copying 64 bytes instead).
