This gave me a cool idea! If we could make an OS, or just a copy of one of
the current ones, which would, when run, 1) look at a certain variable set
by a previously calling BASIC program 2) find the program it pointed to
and run it 3) drop back to TI-OS......
This would allow for, just as Rich asked, drivers for the TI-8x light
flasher series. Except, you would be able to call them from a BASIC
program! You would be able to program something in TI-BASIC which would
turn on the light, turn it off, or flash it a couple of times.
You would have the OS, a program called LGHTON, another called LGHTOFF,
and another called LGHTFLSH. Then, in your BASIC program, you would put
in:
1->P ;In this case, P would be our program variable
;and the number 1 would stand for the LGHTON program
prgm ASH4M ;There you run the (M)iniature version of the asm shell
;which looks up P and runs LGHTON, turning the light on,
;then drops back to TI-OS.
If you wanted to turn the light off, you might do:
2->P
prgm ASH4M
