A86: special routines
So people don't keep asking me about Property 86, here's a list of routines
I've tried. First download Pat's string demo, which includes "ram86.inc"
this file is a MUST HAVE.
1) @ _alt_int_exec load a program and checksum it (there are demos on this)
then do "set 2,(IY+$23)"
2) @ _alt_on_exec load a program and checksum as before. "set 3,(IY+$23)
3) @ _alt_off_exec load a program as before. "set 7,(IY+$23)"
4) @_alt_slink_exec load a prog as before. "set 6,(IY+$23)"
all checksums are like interrupt ones. note that the display is not on when
the on routine is run and the display is not off when the off routine is
run. i have no idea what the slink routine does, i haven't tried it yet.
probably custom link protocol or something. BE CAREFUL W/ THE ON ROUTINE!
IF YOU WRITE A FAULT ROUTINE, YOU MUST USE A VERY LONG PROCESS TO RESET THE
CALCULATOR, SINCE THE BAD ROUTINE IS RUN WHENEVER THE CALCULATOR RECEIVES
POWER AGAIN.
Have fun?
