!!! Atari 1027 Printer, OS Timeout Fix {{{ ; ---------------------------------------------------------------- ; 1027 Printer Timeout Fix (Ver. 2) (AUTORUN.SYS) ; Joe Miller 10 Mar 1985 ; ; This patch corrects the 1027 printer timeout problem by prevent- ; ing the Operating System from generating an incorrect Data Frame ; checksum. It consists of two logical modules. The first module ; is executed once (at initialization) to chain into the "serial ; output ready" IRQ process. The second module is invoked when an ; IRQ is generated for each serial output byte. It checks to see ; if an invalid checksum is going to be sent for the current data ; frame, and, if so, prevents it from happening. ; ; NOTE: This code is implemented as a standard "AUTORUN.SYS" file ; so that it may be used with any version of ATARI DOS. ; With some care, it may also be embedded directly within ; your own application program. Note usage of cassette ; buffer. Assemble with AMAC. ; ---------------------------------------------------------------- FIXORG EQU $0480 ; Location of SIO patch VSEROR EQU $020C ; Serial Output Ready IRQ vector CHKSUM EQU $0031 ; SIO checksum accumulator BUFRLO EQU $0032 ; SIO output buffer pointer ORG FIXORG ; Start SIO patch PHP ; Save processor status SEI ; Disable IRQs for a moment LDA VSEROR ; Save current SIO output ready address STA UVSER LDA VSEROR+1 STA UVSER+1 LDA #low SIOFIX ; Chain our fix into IRQ process STA VSEROR LDA #high SIOFIX STA VSEROR+1 PLP ; Re-enable interrupts RTS ; Return to OS --> YSAVE DS 1 ; Temporary for Y-register UVSER DS 2 ; Serial Output Ready IRQ chain address SIOFIX LDA CHKSUM ; For each SIO 'Output Ready' interrupt BNE SIOJMP ; If current checksum is zero, then STY YSAVE ; Save Y register LDY #0 ; Initialize index LDA (BUFRLO),Y ; Get first buffer byte BEQ YRESTR ; If 1st byte <> 0, then PLA ; This data frame would cause timeout STA CHKSUM ; Save stacked byte in checksum INY ; Bump output buffer index CLC ; 'Pre-calculate' corrected checksum LDA (BUFRLO),Y ; Add second byte in output buffer ADC CHKSUM ; To first byte (already sent) ADC #0 ; Including possible carry PHA ; Save it on stack (NOT in CHKSUM!!) ; Endif YRESTR LDY YSAVE ; Restore Y-register ; Endif SIOJMP JMP (UVSER) ; Chain into system's interrupt server END FIXORG ; End ---------------------------------- }}}
