OSWORD &06

OSWORD &06 (6) - Write I/O processor memory Acorn MOS 1.20 and later

On entry:
 XY!0=address to write to
 XY?4=byte to be written.

Some systems recognise screen memory at &FFFExxxx and sideways ROMs
at &FFFr8000-&FFFrBFFF.

Coding

The following routines can be used to copy data to and from I/O memory regardless of the location of the calling program. It requires X%=>5-byte control block, Y%=X%DIV256.

    DEFPROCmem_rd(io%,mem%,num%)
    A%=5:REPEAT
      !X%=io%:CALL&FFF1:?mem%=X%?4
      io%=io%+1:mem%=mem%+1:num%=num%-1
    UNTILnum%<1:ENDPROC
    :
    DEFPROCmem_wr(io%,mem%,num%)
    A%=6:REPEAT
      !X%=io%:X%?4=?mem%:CALL&FFF1
      io%=io%+1:mem%=mem%+1:num%=num%-1
    UNTILnum%<1:ENDPROC
