Here is the program that allows you to visualize the directory of a floppy disk.
  +
  +
It was simply necessary to use the 'SEARCH' macro and the SEARCH-
  +
NEXT function of the gemdos which deliver in the DTA buffer the name of the file and cer-
  +
tain other information concerning the recognized file.
  +
It was then necessary to display the name of each recognized file:
  +
The name is found in DTA+30, to display it we use the PRINTLINE macro.

NB: Same remarks as for listing nr°4 concerning the EVEN

EXERCISE CORRECTIONS NUMBER 2
1) Exercise number 1 ------------- Here are the listings of the 2 macro instructions 'SAVE' and 'RESTORE' that allow to respectively save and restore the 68000's registers. I will skip the details, it was enough to use the MOVEM instruction. The registers will be saved in the system stack by pre-decrement mode and restored by post-increment mode. That's all ... TEXT SAVE MACRO movem.l d0-d7/a0-a6,-(sp) ENDM RESTORE MACRO movem.l (sp)+,d0-d7/a0-a6 ENDM END 2) Exercise number 2 ------------- Here is the listing of the HEXA macro, that allows to display the content of its parameter in hexadecimal. First we need to successively reach the 8 half-bytes making up the L-M passed as parameter (1 hex digit = 4 bits). To do this we use the rotation instruction ROL and place it in a loop. (LSR also worked...) We will then mask the 4 least significant bits with AND.L #%1111,dn to keep only the half-byte to be processed. The most difficult comes then: It's now necessary to display the value of this hex digit coded by 4 bits on screen. If the digit is <$A (which means <10) this digit will be between 0 and 9. By adding $30 to the value of this digit we will get the ascii code of the digit. (Because the ascii code of '0' is $30: that of '1' is thus $30+1=$31 etc...) If the hex digit to be displayed is >9 this digit will be a letter from the alphabet (from A to F). By adding $37+$A to the value of this digit we will get the ascii code of the digit to display. (Because the ascii code of 'A' is $37+$A: that of 'B' is thus $37+$B=$42 etc...) It's then enough to display with CCONOUT the ascii code obtained and to repeat the operation with all the half-bytes of the parameter. NB: We use the macros SAVE and RESTORE in our HEXA macro to -- be able to use all the registers without modifying their content at the end of the macro. Please note that I'm using LABELS in the HEXA macro. Hence the macro can only be used once in a listing because the assembler cannot distinguish between two identical labels and at each call of a macro, it is fully rewritten... You can, however, put the macro in a subroutine to be able to call it multiple times... TEXT HEXA MACRO $\1 ;macro with 1 parameter SAVE ;we save the registers so as not ;to lose their content move.l \1,d1 ;we put the parameter in d1 moveq #0,d2 ;initializes the number of shifts SHIFT addi.b #4,d2 ;we add 4 to the number of shifts cmpi.b #36,d2 ;if d2=36=32+4 we finished the 32 beq END ;rotations, in this case -> END move.l d1,d3 ;otherwise we put d1 in d3 and rol.l d2,d3 ;do a rotation of 4 bits andi.l #%1111,d3 ;and we mask these 4 bits as only ;they must be processed. ; d3 therefore contains the value to be displayed: 0 to 9 or A to F. (because a ; hex digit is coded by 4 bits (see introduction) ) cmpi.b #9,d3 bgt HEX ;if d3 >9, go to HEX because we will ;need to display a letter and no longer a ;number... DECIMAL addi.b #$30,d3 ;d3=d3+$30 because the ASCII value of 0 is $30 ;For example, if d3 is worth 1, we represent it ;by the ascii character $30+1=$31='1', if it ;is 5, by the ascii code $30+5=$35='5', and so ;on for all hex digits <9 CCONOUT d3 ;edition of the content of d3 jmp SHIFT ;we re-shift the parameter and continue with ;the next 4 bits in SHIFT HEX addi.b #$37,d3 ;d3=d3+$37 for the hex numbers represented ;by the letters because the ASCII value of A is  ;$37+$A. So for exp. if d3 is worth $B, we re- ;present it by the ascii code $37+$B=$42='B'... CCONOUT d3 ;we display the letter (from A to F) jmp SHIFT ;we re-shift the parameter and continue with ;the next 4 bits in SHIFT END RESTORE ;when we are done with all the 32 bits, ;we restore the stacked registers ENDM END 3) Exercise number 3 ------------- Here is the correction of the 'BINARY' macro. To reach the 32 bits of the parameter and to display them on the screen, we use the instruction LSL.L #1, parameter in a loop and depending on the value of the shift out bit, we display a '1' (active bit) or a '0' (extinguished bit). The corresponding conditional branch instruction can for example be bCC (Which tests if the C bit of the CCR is zero: LSL copies the shifted out bit into the C bit of the CCR) To display the '1' or the '0', we use the CCONOUT #'1' or CCONOUT #'0' macro. NB:Same remarks as for the HEXA macro concerning the use of labels -- in the 'BINARY' macro. TEXT BINARY MACRO $\1 ;MACRO with 1 parameter SAVE ;registers saved move.L \1,d1 ;the parameter in d1 move #31,d3 ;loop counter for shifts LOOK move #'0',d0 ;d0 contains the ascii code of 0 lsl.l #1,d1 ;shift of one bit of d1: Copy of the bit into ;the C code of the CCR bcc ZERO ;if the bit is zero (C=0): go to 'zero' move #'1',d0 ;otherwise d0 contains the ascii code of '1' ZERO CCONOUT d0 ;we display the content of d0 (0 or 1) dbf d3,LOOK ;we continue with the other 31 bits RESTORE ;we restore the registers ENDM ;done... END 4) Exercise number 4: -------------- Here is the listing of the program that formats a floppy disk. It was simply necessary to properly use the FLOPFMT function of the Gemdos and put it in a loop to be able to vary the number of the track to format. To ask for execution confirmation from the program's user, we display an alert message with PRINTLINE, we wait for him to press a keyboard key (with 'WAIT') and we test the ascii code of the selected key. (value which returns in d0) If this key is 'F' we format the floppy, otherwise we exit the program with the TERM macro (TERM function of the Gemdos). If an error occurs during formatting (d0 negative after FLOPFMT), we display the error code in DECIMAL. We will first need to make the digit to process positive with NEG dn. The digit to process (the error code) will thus be a positive number and less than 100 (see the Gemdos error codes). We perform a division by 10 of this digit to get the tens digit with DIVU #10,dn. The quotient returns in the low weight word of dn: it's the tens digit, we display it by adding $30 to obtain an ascii code (with CCONOUT). The remainder is in the high weight word of dn: It represents the units digit of the error code. We SWAP dn and also display it. When the formatting is finished, we display a message indicating that everything is OK. Remark: --------- BE CAREFUL, our program will format the disk correctly, but if you look at the disk information using the 'INFORMATION' option of the GEM desktop, it will indicate that there remain 0 bytes free even though there are also 0 used... This is explained by the fact that we haven't initialized the BOOT SECTOR of the floppy: It will therefore not be writable because it contains all the necessary information for disk operations... NB: Those who don't have PROFIMAT and who want (must!) set -- the buffer for FLOPFMT to an EVEN address should not write the DIRECTIVE: 'ALIGN.W' in the BSS area. For METACOMCO, there is an equivalent DIRECTIVE: CNOP 0,2 For DEVPAC ST: it's the EVEN directive. The others will assemble the listing and if it doesn't work, it's because the buffer for FLOPFMT is not at an even address. It will then be sufficient to reserve 1 BYTE just in front of the buffer: it will thus move from an odd address to an even address (odd+1).

BUFFER DS.B 10000 ;buffer for formatting (EVEN address) SAUV_SP DS.L 1 ;buffer for SUPER and USER END 5) Exercise number 5 ------------- Here is the program that replays the sounds created with PRO SOUND DESIGNER. The program will wait until a key is pressed on the keyboard then it tests it (Macro 'WAIT' from gemdos, return of the code and the scancode in d0). Function keys have no ascii code but all have a SCANCOD that differentiates them. If the low byte of d0 contains an ascii code (d0.w different from 0), we exit the program because it means we have pressed a key other than one of the 10 function keys. You then had to find the different scancodes of function keys to be able to use them here. For that, you just had to write the following program, TEXT INCLUDE "MACROS.L" AA WAIT ;waiting for a key SWAP d0 ;low weight byte of d0 = scancode and.l #$FF,d0 ;we keep only the low byte of ;this word (which is the SCANCODE) HEXA d0 ;display in HEXA the scancode WAIT ;waiting for a key CCONOUT #27 CCONOUT #'E' ;we clear the screen jmp AA ;and we start again END then to assemble it, to execute it and to press on the function keys to note their SCANCODES. The rest of the program must identify the different scancodes of the function keys and play a sound. To test the values of the scancode of the pressed key, we compare the value of the scancode entered with the values of the 10 scancodes of the function keys that we have placed in the DATA area. At the same time, we vary the value of an 'an' address register which points to the different sound addresses. If a scancode is identified, we play the sound pointed by 'an' by providing it as a parameter to the macro 'DOSOUND', otherwise we increment address registers (mode (an)+) pointing to the DATAs that represent the scancodes and sound addresses. If no scancode is finally recognized, we restart the keyboard test from the beginning of the program. The data defining the sounds are in the file PROSOUND.DAT, just include it in the DATA zone in the listing. NB:I'm modifying the value of a SYSTEM VARIABLE in this listing (with -- move.b #0,$484) this with the purpose of stopping the 'BEEP' that is heard when pressing a key in order not to disturb the replayed sound. I will soon talk about the SYSTEM VARIABLES...
