                            CORRECTIONS of 
                            EXERCISES NR°4
                             
                           -----------------


1) Exercise nr°1:

  --------------
 a) If TACR is worth %100 and the data register is worth 42, what will be
    the call frequency of a program on this TIMER?
   
    With TACR = %100, we have a prescaler of 50, the data register
    is worth 42, so we get:
    frequency = 245760 / 50 / 42 = about 117 calls per second (Delay Mode)


    Will the program be installed on TIMER A or TIMER B?
    TACR manages the operating mode of TIMER A. (have you forgotten
    already ?) 


 b) How to stop a program under interruption installed
    on TIMER A ? :
    It is enough to set the first 4 bits of the TACR register to 0

 c) We want to install a program under interruption that must execute
    about 245 times per second, give a possible value of the control
    and data registers to achieve this effect.
    If the control register is worth %10, we have a prescaler of 10 and
    if the data register also worth 10, we get:
    frequency = 245760 / 10 / 10 = 245.76 calls per second (Delay Mode)


 d) Can we install several programs under interruption in the
    same TIMER?
    
    Of course NOT!
    Just look at how to install a routine
    on a TIMER, the first thing we do is set all the 
    registers of the concerned TIMER to 0 to disable the routine that
    was already there....

 e) A program under interruption must necessarily execute in
    SUPERVISOR MODE.
    Find a reason for this ...
    A simple reason is that at the end of the program (Before the RTE),
    we clear the concerned bit of the ISR register.
    And any modification of the MFP registries SHOULD be done in SUPERVISOR
    MODE...


1) Exercise nr°2:

  -------------- 
  Here are the macros for TIMERS A and B:

         move.w    #\2,-(sp)           ;\2=control register
         move.w    #\3,-(sp)           ;\3=data register
         move.w    #1,-(sp)            ;1 = TIMER B
         move.w    #$1F,-(sp)          ;XBTIMER

         ENDM                          ;END of the MACRO


2) Exercise nr°3:

  --------------
  Two solutions exist to stop TIMERS A and B.
  The first consists of setting the first 4 bits of the TACR registers
  (For TIMER A) or TBCR (For TIMER B) to 0.
  So we would write:
    BCLR  #0,$FFFA19    ;bit 0 of the TACR register
    BCLR  #1,$FFFA19    ;bit 1
    BCLR  #2,$FFFA19    ;bit 2
    BCLR  #3,$FFFA19    ;bit 3
  For TIMER A (In SUPERVISOR MODE!)   
  Or 
    BCLR  #0,$FFFA1B    ;bit 0 of the TBCR register
    BCLR  #1,$FFFA1B    ;bit 1
    BCLR  #2,$FFFA1B    ;bit 2
    BCLR  #3,$FFFA1B    ;bit 3
  For TIMER B (In SUPERVISOR MODE!)


  There is also an XBIOS function that allows to block an
  interruption of the MFP 68901: It is the JDISINT function of code 26.
  We just need to pass the IPL of the MFP that must be stopped.
  It is with this function that we will create our MACROS:


  For TIMER A (Level 13/6 in the MFP), we will write:
   

STOPTIMEA MACRO

           move.w    #13,-(sp)    ;TIMER A ( IPL 13/6)
           move.w    #26,-(sp)    ;JDISINT
           trap      #14          ;XBIOS
           addq.l    #4,sp        ;we reposition SP
           ENDM                   

  For TIMER B (Level 8/6 in the MFP), we will write:

STOPTIMEB MACRO

           move.w    #8,-(sp)     ;TIMER B ( IPL 8/6 )     
           move.w    #26,-(sp)    ;JDISINT
           trap      #14          ;XBIOS
           addq.l    #4,sp        ;we reposition SP
           ENDM
         


3) Exercise nr°3:

  --------------
  Here is the listing of the program that varies the palette of colors
  under interruption.
  There was no difficulty.
