  Programming the controller.


   From the preceding material, we
learned that the computer communicates with
controller, drive through
specially designated ports. So
both of these ports and we will continue to work
again here is a brief sign-purpose port
I / O / management controller TRDOS.



        PORT # 1F - status register - READING

        PORT # 1F - Register Teams - ENTRY

        PORT # 3F - Register Trails - RECORDING / READING

        PORT # 5F - Register Sector - RECORDING / READING

        PORT # 7F - Data Register - write / read


        PORT # FF - Register Office record


        - 0,1 bits - the number of drives ('A' = 0,0)

        - 2 bits - Reset VG93 (at = 0)

        - 3 bits - prepare (with = 1)


        - 4 bits - side of the disc (at the top = 1)

        - 5 -//--------------------//--------
        - 6 bits - the density (at = 0, double)

        - 7 -//--------------------//--------

        PORT # FF - Register Office - Reading


        - 6 bits - strobe byte of data (for = 1 is

                                             data)

        - 7 bits - willingness (if ready = 1)



   As we already know, a direct
by write or read information on this port with an OUT or IN we 
do not succeed, since these ports are connected to

computer only when
Included in ROM TRDOS and, accordingly, denied all the ports
computing system.

   The question arises: "What do you do?". The point
that in the address space ROM TRDOS, which coincides with the 
addresses involved in the interception and the inclusion of 
TRDOS controller (and as we remember from

the first chapter - is the amount of
addresses # 3D00 by # 3DFF), is
entry point, just designed for such cases. (Thanks to the 
programmers - although it have provided!)



              *

       THIS POINT WITH ADDRESS

         # 3D2F or # 3D30.

              *

And look, this point in the ROM TRDOS
like this: 140.

          # 3D2F NOP

          # 3D30 RET2


   "So what?" How can she us
help? As for on-time ROM TRDOS we give the command
ports? "- exclaim you! Very
Easy! Before calling this point a team of 'JP' we brought in
stack return address first, then the address routines ROM DOS
where we have the desired subroutine. At the command of 'RET' at
# 3D30 processor will take from the stack
address and perform routine
ROM TRDOS because at this point
It will be connected.

   The only condition: this
subroutine in the ROM shall terminate the command 'RET' to all 
returned to the return address, which we entered on the stack 
first. 

   In short, if we need to
to perform some routine in ROM TRDOS, then our actions:


   1) Add to the stack address where the
returns the program after
from ROM DOS.

   2) Add to the stack address of the desired sub-program ROM 
DOS. 

   3) give the team JP # 3D2F (or
# 3D30).


   Such a method call is called "Indirect addressing through
stack.

   If we require that
ROM filled with two - three routines, then the stack is loaded 
(after the return address), two - three addresses routines. The 
latest in the stack must be placed address of routine that will 
be carried out first! 

   Like anything complex, but
Here is where the trouble starts ...

   The fact is that if the content point of call for all # 3D30
DOS version of TR is the same, ADDRESSES subroutine UTILITIES 
TRDOS Different versions are different!

For version 5.01 this is one address,
and for 3.5 is different addresses.

   So, if you have made your
program, based on the addresses of the version that protection 
in ROM Your controller, it is not

means that the program will work with the controller friend
which has a different version of TP DOS.

   It may be that 50% of your program just hangs, or worse - 
zaportit your friend's data disk.


   Case study: author
This book has got adapted to the CD program 'WORD'tekstovy 
editor, which was calculated on the version TRDOS-5.03.

(Download the editor too
performed by subroutine
TRDOS ROM).

   Launched with the controller
5.01, this program is already in
boot process "successfully" formatted zero and the first tracks 
on a disc. 

   After that, just as well hung. Imagine this: You take the 
drive with a software package, run the editor, and then ... 
have to format the drive again. 

   And most importantly, that no
inscriptions, which version TRDOS
This editor works ... Good adaptation - there is nothing to say!

   Upon closer examination
it turned out that the address in ROM
5.3 subroutine "read sector" in version 5.01 are at other 
locations, and at these locations in 5.01 is routine 
"formatting". 


   So rule number one:

 If you program on self IOM low, ie with vyho home routines 
TRDOS, then  Your program should determine lyat (or request) 
version  TRDOS and then adjust

 addresses of subroutine calls ROM.
 In the worst case, your program must be small to display
 Version Number TRDOS, on what
 program adapted.

  This rule is a good form!


   The example will present the address and version of TP
DOS 5.01, and version 5.03.

 Taken as a basis for these addresses ver 1.5! A version of the 
address  5.3 will be given next in

 angle brackets: 
. Thus, the entry point we have there were only addresses of routines that have worked with the right port. These routines in the ROM set. But they are so closely linked with each other, that if you select only those that are after teams 'IN' or 'OUT' at once have the command 'RET', then such routines will be quite a bit ... 140. 1. Entry to the port # 1F (instruction register). Addresses in the ROM Mnemonic # 2F79 <# 2FC3> OUT (# 1F), A; issue the command RET; return 2. Entry to the port # 1F (instruction register). # 3ED5 <# 3EDF> OUT (# 1F), A; issue the command LD A, (# 5CD1); interview RAM CP # FF; return if RET Z; there B # FF 3. Entry to the port # 3F (register tracks). # 1DFE <# 1E3A> OUT (# 3F), A RET 4. Entry to the port # 3F (register tracks). # 3E8B <# 3E95> OUT (# 3F), A; track number LD A, (# 5CCD); interview RAM OR A; Venuto, if RET Z; there 00 bytes 5. Entry to the port # FF (control). # 1FB7 <# 1FF3> OUT (# FF), A RET 6. Entry to the port # FF (control). # 2EC2 <# 2F0C> OUT (# FF), A RET 7. Entry to any port on the register 'C'. # 2A09 <# 2A53> OUT (C), A; port number in the 'C' RET2 You may have noticed that Many of the ports in these routines is not enough, and read from the ports is not at all! To make controller to do something, you must perform a series of actions in aggregate. One team, most cases, can not do. The whole process of exchange of the <-> Processors are composed of 2,3,4 sub-ROMs, which operates a number of interrelated activities with several ports. But even with those routines that we already have, you can perform certain actions. For example: work on management port (# FF) and give the command of the first type (the address in examples - for version 5.01) .147. 1. Reset IC VG93 and the transition to 0 track. START LD IX, ENDE; return address -> stack PUSH IX LD IX, # 1FB7; e n / n DOS ; (Write to port # FF) PUSH IX; to put on the stack LD A, 0; control command RESET JP # 3D2F; perform n / p in the ROM ENDE RET; withdraw altogether 2 ! By the way, if you give a command, then when you click on 'Magik' button instead of 'Magik' file, you get spoiled disk, because chip will be continually NOT READY on port # FF, and to bring her out of this state should not only apply to the port # FF 'readiness', but and issue the command INTERRUPTION, which completely absent in the routine treatment of 'Magik' buttons! 147. 2. Selecting disc number, density, feeding readiness and the choice of the upper side of the disc ... START LD IX, ENDE; return address - in a stack PUSH IX LD IX, # 1FB7; address semiconductor DOS (record ; Port # FF) PUSH IX; stack LD A,% 00111100; management team: ; Drive 'A', etc. JP # 3D2F; perform n / p in the ROM ENDE RET; withdraw altogether 3. Search for a cylinder on the disk. START LD C, # FF; port # FF in register 'C' LD A, # 3C; readiness, drive A, and so on. CALL TRDOS; write to the port # FF LD C, # 7F; data register LD A, 5; team - find a 5-th cylinder CALL TRDOS; write data register LD C, # 1F; command register LD A, # 1C; team SEARCH Cylinder ; Drooping heads, with verification , Coy, and with minimal delay CALL TRDOS; give the command to search for ENDE RET; exit from the program - - - - - Subroutine write data to the port - - - TRDOS LD IX, # 2A09; address semiconductors in Rom 'record ; Port on the register 'C' bytes ; From the register of 'A' PUSH IX JP # 3D2F; execute and return later, ; As of podprogrammy2 With this method you can write data to the control port # FF, registers, TRACK, SECTOR, and give commands to VG93, but to organize a dialogue (ie, data exchange and verification) processor <-> controller very difficult. In general, the exchange of data between controller and the processor has to go to the following algorithm: 1. Give the control byte in the Port # FF. Since this port is connected to trigger the latch, then This information will be stored until arrival of the next byte in this port (choose the drive, giving preparatory readiness, side of the disc and the density). 2. Give into the instruction register, Port # 1F, B TEAM and always the very first team before the read command - ENTRY must be team first Type, with the modifier 'drop head on the drive (this is due to the circuit design features all controller TRDOS). 3. Getting poll the port # FF at the 7 th bit (bit ready Products VG93) as long as there is no established UNITS ie our team has accomplished. 4. If a team has been associated with reading or writing, ie, command of type 2 and type 3, together with the poll bit 7 port # FF should be in front of each byte of data going to drive or on disk, query the 6 th bit port # FF (data strobe). And if Bit 6 Set in a unit, then send or receive bytes into the port # 7F (data register). 5. Once bit 7 port # FF established in a unit, you can to start recording the next team (before applying the next commands can be given a short delay empty cycle). 6. Query the status register VG93 (port # 1F) and to determine command executed correctly. If the command is executed without errors, and everything is normal, then the status register is byte # 80. 7. If the status register bits are set, depending on what bit established, appropriate action. For example: when the command 'write': - If the bit 6, then have to interrupt the operation command input 'INTERRUPT' and bring the inscription on the screen: "DISK Protected. " - If you set bit 2 (data loss), it will either have to repeat the operation again, or go with the words on the screen "error record. " - If bit 0 is set to unity, it means that the drive is busy and will have to wait he is released. Initially, this sequence seems long and very difficult, but as the ROM TRDOS these routines are already there in the aggregate, the whole process will result in a challenge with 2 or 3 respective sub through a stack of ROM. Need to remember one rule: the rule filing sequence of commands. Rule number two: Because of the schematic features of the controller TRDOS include motor drives and the pressing head to the drive is only team first Type, with a modifier MAGNETIC HEAD IN THE WORK (ie, when the head is pressed against the disk and disk promoted). The third bit command code must be equal to 1. Since the drive is a slow- device, then after running the first type leaves little time for filing following commands to read or write. Let's look at a few examples disk procedures of Rom. Example 1. Sub-Reading from a port. Port number in the register of 'C'. Before calling this procedure, you must: if reading produced from the data register (Ie, reading from disk), then instruction register (port # 1F) to write command, and the port # FF - written commitment. Naturally, the disk head must be installed on the desired track and pressed to disc. (Addresses in the examples for TRDOS 5.01). The register 'HL' place RAM address, where we read information. In case 'C' - number porta.140. # 3FDB <# 3FE5> IN A, (# FF); survey implementation and ; Data strobe AND # C0 JR Z, # 3FDB; if not satisfied and no ; Gate, then read again ; Port # FF RET M; done - exit INI; reading bytes from port ; To the M (HL) JR # 3FDB; repeat, if the group ; Operation 2 In fact, this procedure is designed to read array data from the disk (from the Sector or Track), but it can also be used to read from the registers PATHS, CONTROL AND SECTOR if in case 'C' Record the appropriate port. In this case, routine work ONCE, and you have the address M (HL) will be bytes read. WARNING! REGISTER OF (Port # 1F) Examine This procedure can not. Because its poll bit PREPAREDNESS Port # FF reset to 0 and all the infinite loop! Example 2. Sub-ENTRY INTO PORT. Port number in the register of 'C'. This procedure is a reverse copy of the previous procedure. Before calling this procedure REQUIRED: If an entry is made in data register (ie, recording disk), the instruction register (port # 1F) need to write command, and Port # FF - written commitment. Naturally, the disk head must be installed on the right track, and pressed to disc. The register 'HL' put the address of RAM WHERE will record the information. The register 'C'-room porta.140. # 3FC0 <# 3FCA> IN A, (# FF); survey implementation and ; Data strobe AND # C0 JR Z, # 3FC0; if not satisfied and , No gate, then again ; Read port # FF RET M; done - exit OUTI; write bytes to the port ; Of addresses M (HL) JR # 3FDB; repeat, if the group ; Group operation 2 This procedure, of course, You can write bytes at any port, but others do, however long the procedure (see above). Immediately there is a legitimate question: "And all the same survey Port # 1F, ie Status register? The fact that programmers who wrote TRDOS, no provision for interference-free interrogate the register of the user programs. All polls Port # 1F in ROM is closely linked to other subprogrammes chteniyazapisi. There are, however, the point at # 3F28 <# 3F32>, calling you, You can question the status register. But there immediately occurs and check bits with the transition to address printing error messages, and disk crash. This entry point can be used in programs in which not compromised system area BASIC and TRDOS, since there are any errors system will cause the program print messages on the screen. And if the domain of system variables has been compromised?? There are two way out of this situation. First - if the program is read from disk, then after read sector (s) make reference counting the amount of sourced unit and compare it with the correct amount, which is known (in advance been calculated). If the recording is on disk, then there will either have to record 2 times the same sector (for sure), or here also assume that sector back to some free space in RAM, and compare the read block those who tried to enroll. And if they are not identical, then try to write again. How do you understand, this is not the best way of the situation! The second way - quite exotic, but very effective and allows you to interrogate Register State at any time of the user program. This method based on the method of the second interrupts! ("That's so-so" - the attentive reader will cry and start to look for the pages of the book, where it is written that does not like TRDOS TWO interrupts. That's right, not looking for and do not rush to conclusions and abuse against the author. The point that, indeed, most routines TRDOS "afraid" second interrupt. These are the routines that are responsible for read / write information on disc. We will not refer to disk, but a survey only port VG93 state). So ... In ROM TRDOS at # 2D3D <# 2D87> has the following sequence komand.140. - Subroutine 'poll port # 1F' # 2D3D <# 2D87> # 2D3D <# 2D87> IN A, (# 1F); read port # 1F AND # 7F; select all mouth ; Certain established bits RET Z; back, if not ; Error DEC D; reduce the register D PUSH HL; HL stack PUSH DE; DE stack JR NZ, # 2D31; if the register ; 'D' <> 0 then ; Go higher , But we do not need any HALT; wait for the arrival interrupt ; Colliding pulse INT ... ; Next , We are not interested .. 2 Using the fact that in this procedure is the command HALT. If you recall, it met this command processor, as it were suspended and awaiting the arrival of interrupt signal to the input of INT, and then goes away for execution program interruption. In Spectrum pulses followed by a break frequency of 50 Hertz, and 50 times a second keyboard is polled by Interrupt 1. We have the same setting INTERRUPT 2, we capture the output of this procedure on his program. The only thing not forget to call the procedure from the ROM recorded in the register of 'D' units, and Output, in interrupting the procedure to promote the stack pointer up the RAM to 3 words (eg, three times to give the command 'POP AF '). 140. ; Program Procedure Call poll port # 1F ... START LD A, # FD; zanesem interrupt vector, ; Equal, LD I, A; for example, # FD (full address ; Is # FDFF) LD HL, VARIABLE; address interrupt this procedure LD (# FDFF), HL; listed in the address vector ; Interrupt address of the program LD D, 1; register must = 1 for ; To the program in ROM reflection ; Develop the highest ONCE LD IX, # 2D3D; address sub TRDOS ; (For version 5.1 TRDOS!)

If the status register contains bits set, then This case turns on our program to interrupt, and in case 'A' we get a byte which can be further analyzed in any way. The only drawback of this method is redundant memory cells for vector - where contains the address of interrupting program (in this case RAM cell with address # FDFF and # FE00), and the requirement to keep 'old' register 'I', if you altered the program worked with the interruption 2. Since the low byte of the vector interruption is always equal to # FF, then these addresses in the address space of the computer, there are only 255. If we exclude the addresses that fall on the ROM (and there are 63), then we will be 255 minus 63, of 192 random addresses. A it's quite a lot. In Rom TRDOS there are several sub-survey the port # 1F, which can cause the same way. One of them is at # 3DAB <# 3DB5> .140. # 3DAB <# 3DB5> IN A, (# 1F); read a port AND 02; bit select the 'Request ; DATA ' ; For reading ; Records , Or a bit of 'Index' , With the rest of the opera ; Tsiyah LD B, A; hide obtained ; Value LOOP1 IN A, (# 1F); reread ; Port AND 02; isolate bits CP B; comparable with previous RET NZ; if the bit is set - Go out INC DE; increase the value of LD A, E; if attempts are not ; Ended, OR A; JR NZ, LOOP1; then repeat reading ; Port 2 This routine is convenient to call in case of: - When you need zasinhronizirovat program execution for the passage of the Index hole, ie to drive a new turn, or to find out whether the disk is inserted and is ready Does he? - For reading / writing - waiting for the signal data request. As we can see, this routine is missing a command HALT, in which the second interruption exactly caught on the management of the user program. But in any case when a interrupting the momentum INT processor will work cycle LOOP1, and the interception still takes place, and in case 'B' or 'A' will we need a byte allocation of the second bit. As in the previous case, you first need to install Vector interruption, and in interrupting the program to move the pointer Stack up to two bytes (to not return to the ROM and the user program). Before calling ROM routines in the registers 'DE' must be noticed 00 to a maximum polling cycle. Well, of course, give commands and EI IM2. 140. ; Program Procedure Call # 3DAB <# 3DB5> start LD A, VECTOR; set vector ; Interrupt LD I, A LD HL, VARIABLE; zanesem at ; Vector LD (VECTOR * 256 +255), HL; address interrupting ; Program EI HALT LD DE, 00; number of attempts LD IX, # 3DAB; program in ROM (for v.5.01) IM 2, the second interrupt CALL TRDOS; execute the program in ROM and ; Interrupt subroutine IM 1; RET; back in register 'A' and ; 'B' is the value of ; Port # 1F - - - - - - - - - - TRDOS PUSH IX JP # 3D2F - - - - - - - - - - VARIABLE DI POP HL RET - - - - - - - - - - 2 For completeness, we can still result in the address routines Poll port # 1F, emitting FOURTH bit "LOSS OF DATA, if the operation was a read / write. For the remaining operations - bit "crown to its normal state." Call this subroutine The usual way, without any tweaks. Only in case 'C' before the call has to enter number 1 - for testing routines only once. 140. ; ... procedure read-port # 1F with allocation bit 4 ; ... before the call to give the command LD C, 1 # 3E30 <# 3E3A> IN A, (# 1F); interrogate port AND 04; select bit 4 RET NZ; if it is installed - Exit INC B; increase the 'B' DEC C; reduce the 'C' RET Z; if the 'C' = 0 then exit ... 2 Now that we have learned poll the port status, we need to decide what should be done in user program If you are installing a bit in this port, ie, error operations. With read / write: - Installed 2-nd bit - 'LOSS OF DATA' and / or 3rd bit - 'Checksum error CODE ' and / or 4-th bit - 'ARRAY NOT FOUND' and / or 5-th bit - 'ERROR WRITING' In this case you need repeat the operation a certain number of times, and if all the bits will also be installed, then it means that you have a failed drive. Terminates the operation command 'FORCED INTERRUPT', and further do as you see fit. - Installed the 6-th bit - 'PROTECTION Record '(ie the disc is protected). In this case, also interrupts the operation command input 'INTERRUPT' and kindly ask remove protection from a disk or not ask ... - Cleared the 7 th bit - 'READY DRIVE ' And in this case, your program should just wait for drive readiness empty cycle. And now let's continue and see what else is useful in ROM TRDOS. The procedure for determining the numbers Cylinder under the head. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Address # 1DFA <# 1E36>. After calling this subroutine in register 'A' returned Cylinder number, the same number immediately recorded in the register of the controller tracks. Also, if your work routine queries key 'BREAK' = C / SH + SPACE and prints a message if the key pressed. This routine is finished, ie does not need preparatory actions. K Unfortunately, when her work deals with a number of addresses in the RAM of system variables. Terms call: - In case the value of IY Record # 5C3A; - In case 'B' must be ZERO; - The address of RAM # 5C3A should be value # FF. Cropped, ie vary during work routines address RAM # 5D16 and # 5CCD. Procedure 'Search of track' ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Address # 3E59 <# 3E63>. When you work routine finds the desired track on the disc (out to the right and presses CYLINDER Upper or Lower crown based on the preset number Track). Also interrogates key 'BREAK' = C / SH + SPACE. Subroutine is finished and It works even on an unformatted disk. Terms call: - In case the value of IY Record # 5C3A; - In case 'A' should be NUMBER desired track. (If number of 0 or even, then track top, if odd - lower The average); - The address of RAM # 5C3A should be B # FF; - To address # 5CF6 # 5CF7 And should be zero; - The address should # 5CC8 value # 83; - The address of # 5CFA Record 08 or 00. Docked, ie, destroyed contents of memory cells to hell resam # 5D16 and # 5CCD. Procedure 'SEARCH desired track' ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Address Call # 2EF0 <# 2F3A> This is the second search procedure. It is more acceptable in programs with a deficit of memory space. During its operation, the procedure corrupts only a single cell memory at # 5C00. When working on the routine finds drive the desired track (goes to CYLINDER desired and presses the Upper or Lower the head, according to from the specified track number). Subroutine is finished and even works on unformatted disk. Terms call: - The address of RAM # 5C00 should be ZERO; - In case 'C' is entered number WALK. In this program you can enter more at: # 2EFB <# 2F45> In this case, the cell RAM # 5C00 not affected, but before calling routines must be in Port # FF file byte 'READY, TOP of the disc, etc. ', and in case' C 'before the call to Record a track number. If someone is not satisfied these methods to track search drive, you can write a procedure 'track search' based on the team chip 'STEP'. True, it will take more space in RAM for speed and it will be much slower in all routines SEARCH ROM TRDOS. And it looks about as follows: - Issue the command 'RECOVERY' - Submit to the port # FF bits READY Intensity and upper surface (And others); - Recorded in the register (for example, 'C') Track number; - Adjust the number of tracks in cylinder number and a rotated hnost drive and give the command controller 'Step Forward' (with defined modifiers 'Head of press, modify, re Giustra track ') obtained number of times ... 140. ; Sub-track search team 'STEP'. ld c, # 20, track number ld a, 0; RECOVERY TEAM call trdos; Add to PORT # 1F ld a, # 3C; readiness, UP call trdos; recorded in the register # FF ld a, c; Duplicate track number or a; register reset flag rra; divided Track Number 2 , In 'A' is now number CYLINDER ld b, a; put in the loop counter jr nc, STEP; number 'Track Number' was , Even? If yes - go. ld a, # 2C; not - mean surface NIH call trdos; recorded in the port # FF STEP ld a, # 5b; command 'Step Forward' call trdos; execute the command djnz STEP; to repeat the 'B' Chilo times. .......... ; Tag "trdos" in this case is a sub ; RPC TRDOS who work directly with And the ports through the point # 3D2F. 2 As we see from the example, this method is inconvenient and dovolmo cumbersome ... Protsedura'ZAPIS one sector ' ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Address # 3F00 <# 3F0A> Procedure writes one sector on the current track (which are drive heads) and selected surface. Terms call: - Head of the drive must be displayed on the right track, and pressed to a disk; - To address # 5D00 / # 5D01 must be placed the address of RAM, of which torogo will be written 256 bytes per sector; - The address of # 5CFF should be substituted LUN SECTS RA (ie, the numbering of the sectors starts from 0, the subroutine then adjust this number to physical). - Save the data from address # 5CFE, as this address when work docked, ie, IP uses at work. ! Thus, perhaps, difficult to subject to the procedure call is a condition Pressing HEADS TO DISC. Is solved by simple methods. Since record-sector is a continuation of Users of the program in the chain, then this procedure must be followed by searching for the desired track. And as the 'search' is a team that presses the head to the disk, causing the program 'WRITE' immediately after the end of the 'search', we have no Labor fulfill the required condition. If a user program calls the procedure 'search' is separated from the call to 'record' away over time, and the program does not have time to file the command 'write' on pressed against the head, then calling re routine 'Search' with the same parameters, we load (Push) of the head. You can also give the command drive 'STEP BACK' and follow the 'Step Forward' package with the modifiers 'Pressing HEAD'. Protsedura'ChTENIE one sector ' ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Address # 2ED1 <# 2F1B> Terms call: - In register HL to be hell interest of RAM, which will be readout vatsya sector; - In case 'E' should be but measures SECTOR (the logical, ie numbered from zero). Routine is called after the withdrawal of the cylinder heads to the right and then pressing the heads of the desired surface. Subprogram in its work interrogates the port CONDITION (# 1F) and repeats his actions, if was a failure in reading. Protsedura'ChTENIE one sector ' ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Address # 3F04 <# 3F0E> This is the second sub-program reading the sector. Terms call: - Head of the drive must be displayed on the right track, and pressed to a disk; - To address # 5D00 / # 5D01 must be placed the address of RAM, in which tory will be read 256 bytes from the sector; - The address of # 5CFF should be substituted LOGICAL SECTOR NUMBER (Ie, the numbering of the sectors starting begins with 0, the routine of that will correct this issue to the physical); - Save data from the address # 5CFE, as this address when work docked, ie, IP uses at work. Procedure 'Send the command FIRST type, with the expectation of their performance. " ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Address # 2F0D <# 2F57> This routine is convenient to call when you need to perform team 'RECOVERY', 'STEP' 'Search'. Sub-program with their work team writes code to port # 1F, and then querying the port # FF, waiting for this command is executed. Terms call: - In case 'A' should be the code team. Procedure 'CYCLIC RECORDING IN PORT. " ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Address # 2075 <# 20B1> Typically, this routine is used during formatting PATHS. But it can be used for custom data recording on the track (such as creating alignment tracks, or for the complete destruction of information on the track). A if tricky, you can record information and the sector. Terms call: - Head to be withdrawn to the desired cylinder and pressed to the desired surface of the disk; - Submit the command 'write' (to horns or sector). If written described by sector, the register SECTOR put the number of sectors pa; - In case 'D' must be bytes for writing " - In case 'B' must be number: how many times to write bytes from the register of 'D'; - In case 'C' should be # 7F (Data port). Procedure "FORMATTING ONE WALK. " ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Address # 1FC1 <# 1FFD> Sub-one format track the standard way. Queries port status (# 1F) and gives the inscription on the screen, if disk is write protected. Terms call: - Head to be withdrawn to the desired cylinder and pressed to the desired direction; - The RAM location at address # 5CD8 must be a value other than from zero; - In case 'E' need for revenge of the cylinder number (from 0 to 79), which are of nimble. If you can drive, then, moving head on the cylinder, more than 79, you can mark the 80 and 81, and 82 etc. cylinders until until you head is not uprutsya a limiter. If you want to format non-standard - please. You can, for example, 1-st track format with system number 255, but to work with such a disk in TRDOS standard commands will be rather difficult! To format a track unusual way, you can use the entry point of the subroutine: # 1FC9 <# 2005> In this case, in addition to all preceding conditions, you should: - In register 'HL' must be put address data dump, which has consistently placed number of a disk sector (for normal output of the last NUMBER in the dump should be Room # 10!). TRDOS uses address data dump the ROM on at # 1F7D <# 1FB9>; - The port TEAM (# 1F) should be entered Format Vct (for example, byte # F4). More information about formatting process will be explained a little later. Procedures 'delay loop'. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Address 1. # 3DF3 <# 3DFE> Address 2. # 3E96 <# 3EA0> This routine delays for waiting for execution teams drive. Sometimes it is useful to call, to be sure that follow the team drive will go to him when he is free. The first subroutine: a delay of approximately 0.3 seconds, and the second delay - approximately 1.2 seconds. Procedure 'SHIPMENT Dump. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Address 1. # 17DD <# 180D> Address 2. # 28A5 <# 2FEB> At this address in ROM TRDOS commands are: LDIR RET Calling this subroutine is useful when the need zamorochit head or Hacker for the transfer of information from ROM TRDOS in memory: for example, of any procedure. Terms of call are the same as and common commands 'LDIR'. One could cite many useful routines from ROM. But all of the above is enough to write any sort of work program disk, and we limit ourselves to these routines that are fundamental. In the process of writing their programs or other parsing similar programs can discover that not necessarily call subroutine to TRDOS the address above. At the end of this chapter, the application will Listings are the most important sub-ROMs TRDOS with the addresses, and you get to decide what address to call one or another procedure.
