ORG 4E00H
“START”
4E00
4E00
AND 0F0H
MASK off the SYSTEM NUMBER from the byte passed to this OVERLAY by masking against F0H (1111 0000). This has the effect of turning off bits 3, 2, 1, 0, leaving only bits 7, 6, 5, 4 active.
4E02
CP 90H
Compare the remainder of Register A against 90H, which would be the RAMDIR function call. If the masked value is 90H, then …
4E07
CP 080H
Compare the remainder of Register A against 80H, which would be the FILPTR function call. If the masked value is NOT 80H then we didn’t get a valid parameter …
4E09
RET NZ

4FA5
LD (HL),00H
Zero out the memory location pointed to by Register Pair HL.
4FA7
LDIR
Transfers a byte of data from the memory location pointed to by HL to the memory location pointed to by DE. Then HL and DE are incremented and BC is decremented. If BC is not zero, this operation is repeated. Interrupts can trigger while this instruction is processing.
4FA9
LD A,19H
Let Register A equal 19H to return a “FILE ACCESS DENIED” error.
