TR-DOS:
how to avoid mistakes?
You'd be surprised if you find out
how many programs do not recognize
errors when working with a disk, incorrectly recognize them, as
well as hang or reset when they
occur. Of course, when
writing your own programs
should be avoided,
although it is not so easy. Case
is that correct processing
errors becomes possible only
when working directly with a microcontroller disk interface
and it is available is not for everyone. Despite this, the
reliability programs can be greatly enhanced if used along with
the usual functions of TR-DOS special procedures for the
recognition of error situations.
In this article we will go on
One of the most common
I / O errors - there is no
disk in the drive. There will also be
say a few words about the direct
VG93 programming and the programs that control the shift
disc.
It is known that before
any disk operations associated with reading or writing data to
the disc was installed in the drive and the door
the drive was closed. If this
condition is not met, the program (if it is intelligently
written) normally produces one of the following
Message:
- No disk
- Disk not present
- Disk not ready
Special procedure for determining whether the disc in the
drive would be very useful. To give just one possible
examples of its use: if
your program uses an interpreter system functions
TR-DOS and has no error trapping, when they occur (in
particular, in the absence of a disk) can occur Reset your
computer (which is very undesirable). But if using this
procedure to detect no disk before calling
interpreter can be avoided
unpleasant consequences (of course,
Unless there is some
other errors).
We consider several possible ways to implement such a
Procedure:
1) Trying to read any sector (of course,
not with a call to the interpreter system functions, while
direct programming of the controller). As a matter of
information is not required, reading You can spend, say, a
region of ROM. In case of failure, consider that there is no
disk.
Disadvantages: read the sector does not mean that
Disk absent. It may well
be that the sector was recorded with
mistake or sector with the number generally is not on track
(As in the general case, the disc format can be arbitrary).
Advantages: when working with
drive fixed-format
This method is well suited.
2) Making an attempt to read
first met the title
sector. In case of failure, consider that there is no disk.
Disadvantages: In the general case
disk may be unformatted, with nothing to read does not succeed,
and we get incorrect result.
Advantages: This method is suitable for any formatted disk
and is relatively simple in implementation.
3) Use the status register of the microcontroller.
Before we talk about the pros and cons of this
method, recall that such a status register, and what we can
learn from it.
Status register reflects
correctness of a given command, and
and state the microcontroller when it is executed. Each bit
it indicates a certain
parameter and linked with the performance
specific command. When you use the recovery and positioning the
bits of the system Register following functions:
0 - busy being implemented
team;
1 - an index pulse;
2 - magnetic head is
in the original position;
3 - error in the control code;
4 - positioning error;
5 - magnetic head is
in the operating position;
6 - Protection of records;
7 - indicates a willingness to dis
kovoda to carry out commands.
We are interested in only 1
and 6 bits of status register,
why talk about them.
If you look at a floppy disk,
we will see a large hole in
center, and next to it - a small round hole in the housing disk
and the hole just smaller diameter on the magnetic disk. This
is called the index hole, which serves to orient the magnetic
head on a floppy disk drive. When the openings in the cabinet
and on the disc are the same (as this occurs at each revolution
of the disk), the controller finds that the magnetic head is
beginning of the track. I note that
the probability of accidental coincidence of holes is about 3%.
The value of 1 bit in the register
states determined by the state of the index holes:
situation the value of the 1 st bit
Disk no 1
The disc is,
holes in the body 1
and on the CD
match
The disc is,
holes in the hull 0
and on the CD
do not match
Sixth bit register reflects the state of the system slot
to protect the record:
situation the value of 6-th bit
Disk no 0
The disc is,
slit open 0
The disc is,
the slot is closed a
It is clear that if the 1-th bit is
0 or 6-th bit is 1, the disk is present. But, first, with
a disc, these bits can
take, in general, any
values, and secondly, it is unknown whether the door is closed
the drive. How do we know it state? Recall that if
it is closed and the motor drive rotates, it will rotate and
drive. If the door open, the drive will fail to rotate. But how
to determine a rotating disk or not, we have know - you need to
cyclically check the value of the first bit in the register
states. For each reverse drive, this bit changes
its value to 0 (the hole in the
building does not conform with the hole on the disk) to 1
(opening match), and then - again to 0. If this bit will not
change its value - or There is no disk drive, or door
open.
Now we can easily specify the desired algorithm:
- Read value of register
states. Let s1 - value
1-th bit, s2 - to 6-th
bits.
- Let s3 = 1, if the disk rotates, and 0 if the drive does
not spin.
- Define the situation on the table:
s1 s2 s3 room situation
0 0 0 2
0 0 1 3
0 1 0 2
0 1 1 3
1 0 0 1
1 0 1 3
1 1 0 2
1 1 1 3
Explanation facilities of the situation:
1 - There is no disk in the drive;
2 - disk is, but the door of the disco
water is not closed;
3 - Disk drive there and the door
closed.
Note: with probability
approximately 3% of the situation (2) can
be recognized as a situation
(1).
Well, with only
bring the text of the procedure in assembler:

2 You may have encountered
control programs change
disk drive (eg,
Jemmini Commander). They checked just above the bits of the
system registry (in principle, it is enough to monitor changes
in only any one of the two bits). Here is a simple algorithm
such Program:
Step 1: Read value Regis
spectrum of states. If the first
vy bit is 1, go
to step 4.
Step 2: N = "The disk is."
Step 3: Read the value Regis
spectrum of states. If the first
vy bit is 0, go
to step 3.
Step 4: N = "No Disc".
Step 5: Read the value Regis
spectrum of states. If the first
vy bit is 1, go
to step 5, otherwise step 2.
Note: The program is workable, provided that the hole on the
disc does not coincide with the hole on the body drive (this
involves the use of 1-bit status register).
Incidentally, such a program
There is one feature associated with the reading of the
register states. To read its value, it is necessary to drive
the engine worked. Therefore, using the following method:
Execute command positioning on a track whose number already
recorded in the register of the track. In this case, the head
will not move, but the engine drive turned on. After the end of
this command is read register states. Immediately after
The engine shuts down
for example, by writing 0 in
Port # FF (or port # 1F). Between two successive readings of
the register states pauses, usually 1 / 50 seconds. The engine
does not have time untwisted, and bulb drive does not light up.
But if you look closely, it is evident that the bulb is still
slightly lights (brightness is inversely proportional to the
length of the pause). So, on some drives (namely - the EU 5323.
01), it was noted that when running programs that control the
change of the disc, the bulb is lit and the engine is running.
Here is the text of a small demonstration program that
controls the replacement drive on the above algorithm. The
program displays the message "DISK PRESENT" and "DISK NOT
PRESENT". Exit - by pressing any keys (when the drive is
present). 140.
