Model I TRSDOS v2.3 SYS0/SYS Explained

This is a disassembly of TRSDOS v2.3’s SYS0/SYS file. SYS0/SYS resides from 4300-4D00H

TRSDOS does quite a bit of sector work by using a buffer and then writing out the buffer when done. The buffer is usually set up being pointed to by the IX register, as that is 1 of 2 registers upon which math can be done. In the case of the buffered sector:

  • IX+00H = special DCB code area
  • IX+01H = special codes. Lowest 3 bits are the permission flags. Bit 4 signals that the buffer has been updated / is available for use. Bit 5 forces a read on the next file access. Bit 6 signifies the need for a POSITION call. Bit 7 specifies physical or logical I/O.
  • IX+02H = Reserved / Not Used
  • IX+03H = the LSB of the DCB Sector Buffer Address
  • IX+04H = the MSB of the DCB Sector Buffer Address
  • IX+05H = the next record address -OR – current byte offset in sector buffer to the current record
  • IX+06H = the drive number
  • IX+07H = the DIRECTORY SECTOR OFFSET (i.e., directory sector number with the HIT Index) or the OVERFLOW pointer
  • IX+08H = EOF offset held in the DCB
  • IX+09H = record size in bytes
  • IX+0AH = the LSB of the next sector number
  • IX+0BH = the MSB of the next sector number
  • IX+0CH = the LSB of the EOF sector held in the DCB -or- The number of records
  • IX+0DH = the MSB of the EOF sector held in the DCB -or- The number of records
  • IX+0EH = the track number of the lst GAP
  • IX+0FH = Granule count

The reason the below starts at 400C is that the ROM itself fills 4000H, 4003H, 4006H, and 4009H with JUMPs, but puts RETs at 400C and 400F, and an EI at 4012H.

4506
DEFW 45A3H
Address for TASK 3. This task is executed once every 8 interrupts (i.e., 200 milliseconds)
4508
DEFW 45A3H
Address for TASK 4. This task is executed once every 8 interrupts (i.e., 200 milliseconds)

451D
LD HL,404BH
Put the address where interrupt status is stored into Register Pair HL
4520
LD (HL),A
Put the interrupt status byte (held in Register A) into the address where interrupt status is stored (held in Register Pair HL)
4521
INC L
Bump Register L so that HL now points to 404CH, which is the address of the interrupt service routine mask byte
4522
AND (HL)
Compare Register A (interrupt status byte) against the memory location pointed to Register Pair HL’s contents (interrupt service routine mask byte), to see if they match
4523
If A does not match (HL) then JUMP to 452DH and ignore the interrupt
4525
INC L
If we are here, then the status byte matched the service routine, so we need to process the interrupt. First, Bump HL to point to 404DH, which is the start of the interrupt processor’s 8 item address list appearing above.
4526
RRA
Rotate the bits in A one bit to the right so that we can use the CARRY FLAG to see what bit is on. This will start at Bit 7 work toward Bit 0. In RRA, the contents of Bit 0 (which would be lost) are copied to the carry flag, and the carry flag contents are copied to Bit 7.
4527
If the current CARRY BIT is ONE, then JUMP to 4538H to call the Interrupt Task Routine associated with On List
4529
INC L
If we are here then we are moving to the next interrupt processor. Since each one is 2 bytes, we need to BUMP L twice. This is the first. When we JUMP to 4525H later, that’s the second.
452A
OR A
Test the rotated Register A to see if there are any remaining interrupt bits.
452B
If there still are remaining bits, then LOOP back to 4525H
452D
LD A,(3840H)
If we are here, then there were no are remaining bits, so load Register A with the contents of the BREAK KEY keyboard row
4530
AND 04H
MASK Register A (the contents of the BREAK keyboard row) against 00000100 to drop all bits except bit 2, which is the BREAK KEY. By doing this, we will either have a Z if there is no break or a NZ if there is a break.
4532
If NZ is set then we have a BREAK, so JUMP to 454FH to see if DEBUG is active and needs to be loaded. If so, it sets the flags and JUMPs to DEBUG.
4534

POSN positions a file to read or write a randomly selected logical record. Since it deals with logical records, the proper computation is clone to locate which physical record(s) contain the data. Following a POSN with a READ or WRITE will transfer the record to/from RAM.

Note that positioning to logical record zero sets the file to read the first logical record in the file. To position to end of file in order to add new records onto the end, use the record number ERN+ 1 (see page 2).

475FH – Read Processing – This is where the READ VECTOR jumps to

If LRL>0, READ transfers the logical record whose number is in the DCB as NRN (see page 2) into the RAM area addressed as UREC for the length LRL as defined at open time. The record comes from the RAM BUFFER defined at open time. If TRSDOS must read a new physical record to satisfy the request, it will do so. “Spanned” logical records will be re-assembled as necessary. READ automatically increments NRN by one in the DCB after the transfer is completed. INIT/OPEN sets NRN=X’0000′ in order to read the first record with the first READ.

If LRL=0, READ transfers one physical record into the RAM BUFFER, which was defined at open time, from the disk file. Registers HL are ignored. READ increments NRN as above.

On Entry: HL=UREC if LRL is not zero. Unused if LRL=0, DE=DCB, CALL 44364

On Exit: Z=OK, A=TRSDOS error code.
476D
GOSUB to 4892 to set IX to the DCB address, save registers, and ensure file is OPEN
4770
GOSUB to 4878H to purge the buffer
4773
RET NZ
If there was an error during the purge, RETURN
4774
BIT 7,(IX+01H)
If there was no error during the purge then, test Bit 7 in IX+01H to see if we are doing physical or logical I/O
4778
If Z is set then we must either read a sector, the buffer is not ready, or sector I/O is needed, so jump away to 480EH

477BH – This is the LOGICAL READ routine. It transfers a record from the sector buffer to the user’s record area, byte by byte. The subroutine at 47BBH returns the next byte from the sector buffer. If the buffer is exhaused, the next sector will be read.

477B
LD B,(IX+09H)
IX+09H holds the record size. Put the record size into Register B.
477E
PUSH HL

4791
BIT 7,(IX+01H)
Test Bit 7 in IX+01H to see if we are doing physical or logical I/O
4795
If Bit 7 if IX+01H is zero, then we are doing physical I/O, so JUMP to 483EH

If we are here, then we are doing LOGICAL I/O instead of PHYSICAL I/O. This routine will transfer a record from the user’s record area to the file sector buffer byte by byte. The subroutine at 47DAH stores the next byte in the sector buffer. If the buffer is full, it is written to disk.

4798
LD B,(IX+09H)
IX+09H = record length in bytes. Put the record size into Register B. This will be the counter of the number of bytes to loop through.

47A5
If we are here, then there was no error, so LOOP back to 479BH to keep moving bytes
47A7
RET
RETURN to caller

47A8H – This is the VERIFY routine called from the Vectors

The only difference between VERF and WRITE is that VERF writes one physical record to disk and then reads it back into a special TRSDOS RAM area not defined bv the user. This special area and the original write buffer are then compared byte by byte to assure that tbe record was successfully written.
On Entry: HL=UREC if LRL is not zero. Unused if LR L= 0, DE=> DCB, CALL 443CH
On Exit: Z=OK, A=TRSDOS error code
47A8
GOSUB to 4892 to set IX to the DCB address, save registers, and ensure file is OPEN

If we are here, then we are doing a READ operation

47BB
GOSUB to 48B9H to tests for end of file
47BE
RET NZ
If the NZ flag is set, then we are at EOF so RETURN to the caller
47BF
BIT 5,(IX+01H)
Test Bit 5 of IX+01H to see if we need another sector for buffer
47C3
If the Z Flag is SET then we do NOT need another sector, so we JUMP to 47C9H to get the next byte from the buffer
47C5
If we are here, then we DO need another sector, so GOSUB to 480EH to read the next sector from the file into the buffer
47C8

If the NZ flag is set then the READ produced an error, so RETURN to the caller
47C9
GOSUB to 4883H to put the address of the next record into Register Pair DE. It takes the next record pointer of IX+05H and adds it to the start of the DCB held in IX+03H/IX+04H and puts the result into DE and returns

47DB
BIT 5,(IX+01H)
Test Bit 5 of IX+01 to see if the sector buffer is full
47DF
If the Z Flag is SET then there is still room in the sector buffer, so JUMP to 47E9H
47E1
If we are here, then the sector buffer was full, so we need to read the next sector from the file into the buffer. GOSUB to 482DH to do that.
47E4
If the Z Flag is SET then there was no error, so JUMP to 47E9H
47E6

4804
LD A,C
Put Register C (the current sector buffer offset) into Register A for processing/testing
4805

481E
RET NZ
If the NZ flag is set then we are at the EOF, so RETURN to the caller

4823
INC (IX+0AH)
IX+0AH is the LSB of the next sector number. Bump the next sector number by one
4826
Since we just bumped the LSB, we need to see if that rolled over and needs to affect the MSB. For that we test for NZ. If NZ is set, there was no overflow, so we can skip over the next 2 instructions which bump the MSB
4828
INC (IX+0BH)
IX+0BH is the LSB of the next sector number. If we are here, the bump in the LSB required a bump in the MSB … so we bump it!

4917
POP HL
Restore the address of the second byte of the extent from the stack into Register Pair HL
4918
If the difference between the requested and cumulative granule is greater than 256 then NZ will be set and the granule can’t be in this GAP, so JUMP back to 4909H

If the difference is less than 256, compare it to the number of granules assigned to the current GAP because the relative granule may fall within the next GAP.

Restore the negative of the requested granule number to A in case we found the needed GAP
4921
POP DE
Restore the number of of granules passed so far from the stack into Register Pair DE
4922

4924
NEG
NEGATE Register A (the same as subtracting A from 0). This will convert A (the relative granule number) to positive.
4926
Jump to 496AH to compute the absolute track and sector number

If we are here, then the elative granule is not in the current GAP so we need to search directory entries belonging to the file for a GAP containing the relative granule number being sought.

4928
GOSUB to 49B5H to search the directory for the GAP owning relative granule. On return from routine, HL = first byte of the GAP owning the relative granule

493E
ADD HL,DE
Add the DE offset to the start of the DCB
493F
POP DE
Restore the count/track number from the stack into Register Pair DE

Search the DCB for the GAP matching the number returned From 49B5H. When this routine finishes, HL will hold the track and granule count owning the relative granule. DE will hold the cumulative granule count addressable through this track.

494B
If the Z Flag is SET then A matched D so JUMP to 4965H
494D
DEC B
If we are here, we did not get a match against DE so we need to keep going. First, though, we need to make sure we didn’t run out of GAPs so DECrement Register B by 1
494E
If the Z Flag is SET then we have tested all the GAPs, then JUMP to 4955H to go move the GAP’s in the DCB down and move track/count and cumulative total returned by 4985 to the first GAP entry in the DCB
4950
4951
4952

4A59
CP 1EH
