"Boot" - a look inside and
possibility of improvement.
In this my article, I want to touch
theme that have never touched, except for the ZX-Revue N: 5 /
1994, and even then very sparingly and only in passing
sovpadayusche with the named topic. There it was about
auto-BASIC-line of machine code. Here I want to dwell on the
theme of a broader, namely - a simple "boot", how does it work?
The easiest, in my opinion, is
two-sector system "boot", developed by ShiSoft in 1993. So that
a boot for sure there is a collection of any spektrumista. With
him and begin.
I think I figured out well enough with how well it works,
and what I hasten to share with colleagues. So ...
; Disassembler boot SHISOFT-1993 (one hour, Ty, who is thrown
into the address 50015 ; (# C35F) and it starts with the same).
; BASICe In the first line is: RANDOMIZE
; USR VAL "15619": REM: SAVE "boot" LINE
; VAL "2"
; Second line has: RANDOMIZE USR VAL
, "23923"
; LOADER represents the following:
; ORG 23923
;
; PUSH HL; Must
;; Keep on HL
;; Stack!
; LD HL, METKA; How to make.
; LD DE, 50015, where to move.
; LD BC, 556; How many bytes.
; LDIR; Transfer.
; JP 50015; Start program.
; METKA DEFS 556
And then, finally, himself disassembler boot'a:

Well, to understand how it works.
I hope everyone all right?
We now turn to the second part of my story ...:-)
So, whether it has boot'a disadvantages? Yes, they can
always be found, it would be a desire :-) Well, for example,
why do we need to display himself "boot", if we can restart by
pressing the space bar? AND yet: there are programs, consisting
of two BASIC-loader. In this case, the second boot is not
needed, it will only make a mess, and it would be advisable not
to withdraw ...
Hence, the first task is: to include
in the program "boot" 'and filtering of all BASIC-files
beginning with a lowercase letter or with a space (this is just
in case). How to do it? Very simple: to include in the
disassembler following snippet:
...................
CP # 01
JR Z, LAB_2; If the 1st character
= 1, then it is erased
; Th file transfer
; Move on the L399.
CP ""; This is the gap?
JR Z, LAB_2; If so, re
; Progress on the label.
CP # 5B; if> = "Z", then
JR NC, LAB_2; transition, because
And after "Z" are
; Malenk.bukvy.
LD A, (IX + # 08); In akkum. address
; File type.
CP "B"; This is BASIC?
JR Z, LAB_3; If so, ne

Well, the last one. As you know, in the described boot'e
control the cursor can be by right-Sinclair joystick and
buttons QAOP, SPACE. You can add a poll cursor keys (in a
subroutine with a nice name KLAWA). How do you can read in my
article about the poll Keyboard section for Dummies "DEJA
